Everyone loves personalized ornaments. Have you ever wondered how some of the ornaments with your favorite fabric pattern are made? No need to guess. Lets’ make some today just in time for the holiday season. These beauties are perfect for displaying on the tree, hung on the mantel, or even attached to the gifts as a special addition to the decoration.
Supplies Needed:
– Ornament Disks
– Fabric of your choice
– Jute twine
– Hot glue
– Mod Podge
– Ribbon
– Pipe Cleaners
These little beauties are so easy and fun to make.
Start with the ornament and remove the top part of it.
Lay out your fabric and place your ornament on top of it.
Cut the fabric around the ornament making sure you have enough to cover all sides. If the fabric has a pattern or image you wish to display, make sure to adjust it before cutting to achieve the desired results.
You will need 2 fabric sheets, one for each side.
Take your mod podge and brush it evenly onto one side of your ornament. You might have to work somewhat quickly with the mod podge because your edges will dry out quickly.
Place your first piece of material onto the mod podge side of your ornament. Starting from the middle of the ornament gently press the fabric outward.
Make sure to roll out any wrinkles that may appear. The fabric will be more forgiving when wet. If your mod podge has dried out just reapply another thin coat in those areas. Once completed, repeat the process on the other side.
Your edges will stick out a bit, add some more mod podge to the sides and try to completely cover the surface of your ornament.
Then trim the excess. This may be the tricky part but then again, it is a fabric no sew ornament.
Starting from the very top of your ornament start hot gluing your jute twine to the edge, try to cover up the portion where the fabric meets or did not quite make it. Go all the way around cut the twine.
You can put your cap piece back on. Your fabric ornament is almost done.
Cut about a 5” piece of twine and tie it onto your ornament as a hanger.
Now take your ribbon and cut about 9” long piece.
Fold it in three, pinch the middle of the folded ribbon and tie it with a pipe cleaner and connect the bow to the front of your ornament with the rest of the pipe cleaner.
Congratulations, you have successfully made your mod podge fabric ornament. The only step you have left is to enjoy your creation and possibly repeat this process to make personalized memories. You can involve your kids and other family members in this craft project. Let them feel the thrill of accomplishing something so beautiful yet, simple.
Have fun 😊
