I have a teenage daughter who absolutely loves Dr. Seuss. This Christmas I wanted to give her something she would (hopefully) cherish. I made her a Dr. Seuss tree. Some of the ornaments were just laminated books covers or finger puppets that I found. But I did make some from felt. I am pretty happy with how it turned out, I just hope my DD will love it.
I made a
Cat in the Hat hat for the top of the tree and some mini bunting as garland around the tree.
Here is my
Horton Hears a Who.
My
Lorax trees, I think that is what they are called.
Green Eggs and Ham
The
Grinch and his heart that grew...
Ten Apples on Top...
Thing 1 and 2...
and a quote for Dr. Seuss himself.
It was difficult to put together with my younger daughter around. I didn't want her to let the
cat out of the bag so I kept telling her I was making a game. I think it turned out cute. Now, if I can find some Dr. Seuss fabric while in the states next year, maybe she will get a tree skirt.
