I think of it as a mini patchwork project. Any small alterations can give you something entirely new. Also, a great way to use scraps and great for gifting.
This was a very easy tutorial to follow. I like being able to see all of the angles so I could make it along with you and know I was folding and pinning correctly. Thank you for making this video.
This tutorial warms my heart. You've blended traditional hand made Christmas ornaments, sharing, and friendship. I have made other versions of this same decoration, but think your approach to the finished ornament is for me. Basically you conserve on your choices of simple method and supplies to complete the task. Starting now gathering supplies, I want for the holiday season. Looking forward to more Wisdom Preserved.

Judy, we are so happy that you found our channel and this fun ornament tutorial. I (Emmaline) love these ornaments and had my entire tree covered in them for Christmas 2020. My family loved the traditional and classic colors and the sparkle that the shimmer and glitter fabrics brought without over ornamentation.
I received some of these beautiful ornaments and now I found out how to make them! I'm going to find some of the craft balls & will give them as gifts. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Central Alberta, Canada
Another thing I did, I've sewed and been a seam stress for years. I made myself a pen cushion out of a tuna can or chicken tan and I put all my put my pins for the one side I don't always count them I just fill the top of the pin cushion and then that way, it's easier for me to find my pens. Cause I stuck my finger tip so much. I'm trying to get the pens.
Thanks ladies. This was comprehensive. I made my first one of these a couple weeks ago. I used Shabby Fabrics tutorial, but yours is very easy to see. I am anal enough that I pressed my squares, but I like your pre-pinning idea. You also explain the steps very well. I have just subscribed to see what else you come up with!
We are so glad to hear how much you enjoyed our video. We are glad the views we were able to provide helped you see the different angles. Thank you for adding us to your playlist. We have some wonderful crafts coming this spring that we hope you will enjoy.
Can I use a 2" (4cm) ball and if so... what size are the squares cut to and would it still be 3 layers....only got a tiny tree but I do love these and would love to make them smaller
Yes, a 2" (4 cm ball) would work. I would still do 3 layers to achieve the same look, but it is entirely up to you,. That's what I love about them. If you only do 2 rounds on each side I would leave the blocks cut to the same size. If you do three rounds you could cut the fabric down to 2" squares, but you could leave them at the 2 1/2" and just allow overlap. You would ensure you had no gaps.
