Equipment
- Sewing Machine
- Fabric Scissors
- Pins
- Needle & Thread
- Hot Glue Gun
Materials
- 1/2 yard fabric in color of choice for ornament I used velvet, fleece and lamé
- 1/4 yard silver or gold fabric for ornament topper I used lamé
- Ornament Template
- 1 bag poly Stuffing Large bag, otherwise grab two!
- 1/2 yard silver or gold trim optional
- 1/4 yard silver or gold cord
- Clear nail polish
Instructions
- Cut out six of the ornament sections using the pattern out of your fabric (pink in my case). Cut out one circle and one rectangle out of your metallic fabric (silver in my case).
- With right sides together, stitch together two ornament sections along one curved side.
- With right sides together again, stitch a third ornament section onto the other edge of the one you just sewed and stitch together.
- Repeat this, so you’ll have two pieces with three sections each.
- With right sides together, pin the two halves together. Make sure the “points” where all three pieces meet on each are matched up and pin all the way around the circle, leaving about 3-4″ open (for turning). Stitch together.
- Turn right side out and stuff. Make sure it is super full so the ornament is nice and round.
- Use a needle and thread to hand-stitch the opening together using a slip stitch.
- With right sides together, sew the two short ends of the rectangle together, forming a ring.
- With right sides together again, pin and sew the ring around the circle.
- Turn right side out and stuff with stuffing.
- Pin to the top of the ornament. Hand stitch the top onto the ornament using a slip stitch.
- Cut a piece of cord about 4-5″ long. Immediately dip the ends into clear nail polish to prevent fraying. Let dry.
- Hot glue or stitch the cord on top of the ornament topper.
- If finishing with trim, hot glue the trim around the base of the topper.
