This blog post is intended to give you the exact amounts for what you need to create this beautiful ornament, it is hard to convey how to make this ornament in writing so i recommend watching the video tutorial so you can have a better understanding
For this project you will need 3″ styrofoam balls
Pretty ribbon
For the entire ornament you will need cotton squares cut into 3″ x 3″ pieces
for the main fabric on the ball you will need 24 3×3″ pieces
accent fabric you will need 16 3×3″ pieces
you will also need a 11″ by 2″ piece cut out of the main fabric
Taking a piece of fabric fold it in half and then again to find the centre point, place a pin through the fabric through the wrong side and stick it into the ball, fold the piece in half and then take the top corners folding them down to create a triangle. this ball is formed by many triangles formed this way
once you have finished one side with half of the fabric you will repeat the process on the opposite side, try to keep it centre with the previous side
your finger tips might start to get sore at this point so i recommend a thimble to help push the pins in
once both sides have been complete you will take the strip of fabric, iron the sides in 1/4″ in and then hot glue it around the ball to hide the raw edges
tuck a loop of ribbon under the fabric before your are finished hot gluing the fabric
using some pretty ribbon create a large bow to place on top to hide the seam of the fabric
