Maker tip: Choose three greens from light to dark and put the lightest on the top tier — it gives the tree depth instantly.

Print and transfer

Print the cut map at your chosen size, tape it to a foam board and score each line about 1/8" (3 mm) deep, keeping the blade upright.
Cut your fabric

Match the 8 numbered colors to your fabrics. Cut each piece about 1/4" (6 mm) larger than its shape on every side.
Tuck the 12 pieces

Start with the background and work toward the front. Press the fabric edges into the grooves with a butter knife, seam ripper or tucking tool.
Finish and frame

Trim any loose threads, tuck the outer edge around the board and set it in a shadow box or a deep frame.
