Are you looking to make some new holiday ornaments for your Christmas tree this year? If so, I have a great project to share with you today.
These no-sew, quilted ball holiday tree ornaments are super easy to make and require absolutely no machine sewing! What is even better yet is the fact that this is a great project to use up all of those little fabric scraps that you have laying around that are left over from other sewing projects.
Supplies You Will Need:
2 1/2" diameter Styrofoam ball
6" piece of 1/4" wide lace (I used white)
Various color small scraps of fabric (cottons or cotton blends work best)
All-Purpose Liquid Craft Glue (the kind that dries clear)
Sharp Fabric Scissors
Small Flat-Head Screw Driver or Butter Knife
Foam Paint Brush
Straight Pins
Note: You can use 1/4 wide lace or 1/4" wide satin ribbon for the ornament hanger. Since there is a little gluing involved, take the time to protect your work surface.
Tip: You will want to lay out all of your fabric scraps and sort them into color coordinating piles. Take the time to put colors together that work well with one another.
Trim your fabric scraps down to odd-shaped pieces. I have used rectangles, squares, circles and ovals. You should use different shapes that are different sizes to give it a true quilted look.
Use your screw driver or butter knife to slightly indent a space that is the shape of your fabric square on your Styrofoam ball. This indented shape should be slightly smaller than your actual fabric shape.
Use your foam paint brush and spread a very thin layer of craft glue inside the indented shape. Place your fabric shape on top of the glue and use the edge of your screw driver or butter knife to push the fabric edges into the indent and push hard to squeeze the edge of the fabric down into the ball.
You will want to repeat that step the entire way around your ball until it is completely covered.
Using a 6" piece of satin ribbon or lace, shape it into a hanging loop. Dab the end of a straight pin into the craft glue and poke it through the end of your hanging loop and push it down into your foam ball. Let this dry for 30 minutes before hanging it onto your holiday tree.
