The white can be a partial tree, as it's supposed to be the snow on the tree. For the templates, I simplified one from the Dec. 2007 MS Living, here's the link to the <A href="http://images.marthastewart.com/images/content/web/pdfs/2007Q4/la_1207_gingerbreadmobile.pdf">template</A>, I used the largest tree. I used two green layers to give the tree enough stiffness, you don't want floppy trees! I tried both white felt and cotton batting. I like the feel of the cotton batting better, but it does hold its cinnamon crumbs a bit too well!</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://zhinkadinkadoo.typepad.com/zhinkadinkadoo/2007/11/magical-cookie.html"><P>Step 4: Stack trees together and sew! If you used pen to outline your templates for the cutting line, then flip that piece of felt over so the pen lines don't show. You can put your "snow" in front, or in the middle of the two green pieces, or leave it out entirely. Do a blanket stitch or running stitch around the edges.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://zhinkadinkadoo.typepad.com/zhinkadinkadoo/2007/11/magical-cookie.html"><P>Step 5: Sew on ornaments once they've completely dried. Thread a needle with thick floss and sew through the tops to make a hanger. You're done!</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://zhinkadinkadoo.typepad.com/zhinkadinkadoo/2007/11/magical-cookie.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/zhinkadinkadoo.typepad.com/img/31F424C0-80E3-464B-AD3A-3B9905AE5EC5" alt="Cookietrees_2" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/B1CDDD90-550A-4655-AD04-9EF49FC9291D/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
