Today's ornament tutorial might be the quickest and easiest ornament you'll ever make!
Every day for the 12 days leading up to Christmas, I'm sharing a tutorial for how to make a fabric ornament!

For this one, you only need fabric scraps (and I mean SCRAPS!) and clear ornament balls.
I got my clear plastic ornament balls at JoAnn, but you can find them at most stores around Christmas time including Amazon.
The first step is to just pull off the top of the ornament. It's just held in by two wires, so a gentle tug is all that's needed.
Then stuff it full of your fabric scraps! You could use red and green fabrics cut into tiny 1/8" strips, or you could use scraps from your latest quilt finish to have a keepsake ornament to match! You can include any size of scrap, but I find the tiniest ones work best!
You could even include thread or those little dog ears you trim off of blocks.
Once filled up, just put the top of the ornament back on! I used my fingers to squeeze the metal wires to get them to fit.
That's it! It's seriously that easy!
I made these two - and took all the photos - in less than 5 minutes!

ReplyDeleteThose are great!
ReplyDeleteThese are all so cute, I really like the 3-D tissue paper but using fabric instead. Can't wait to see the rest of them. Thank you for sharing these.
