Hi guys! Today I am going to show you a quick and easy Christmas ornament diy. Vintage flour sack fabric is my favorite fabric in the entire world! I love the texture, but most of all I love the colorful prints! I have scraps that I get and use in projects, usually sewing projects where I cut my scraps down into strips or squares, so I end up with tiny scraps. And I just have never been able to bring myself to throw these tiny scraps away so I have a little bag full of them in with my scrap stash. Well I decided I would try using them to decoupage on a christmas ball ornament, and voila, my new favorite christmas ornament!
- Christmas ornament blank. I used a round ceramic ball
- Little scraps of fabric
- Mod Podge Fabric Medium
- Mod Podge Sparkle
- Paint Brushes
- Ribbon or Tinsel
I was wrapped up in my craft this time, and completely forgot to get process photos, so I will explain the best I can. It is really pretty easy, I promise! So I started by Painting a little bit of the Mod Podge Fabric medium onto a section of my ball. Then I laid a scrap of fabric onto the medium and smoothed it out. Then I painted a little more medium and laid on another piece next to that one, and continued going around my ball until it was pretty much covered. Then I painted a little more medium as I went and put on more of the pieces I loved the most going in all different directions until I was happy with the design of it. I painted a thin layer of the fabric medium on top and set it aside to dry. I found it helpful when I was working on the ball to take the hanger off and insert a paintbrush up into it to help hold the ornament as I worked. Once my ornament was dry, I painted a layer of Mod Podge Sparkle onto the top and let it dry.I then put the hanger back on. To finish the ornament off I tied a piece of tinsel ribbon on top at the hanger.
This ornament was really fun to make and in my opinion very easy too! This could definitely be a great project for craft night with your friends. Or it could be a great craft to do with your kids too! Or even a sweet gift! I do hope you all will give it a try with the scraps you have laying around! I think you’ll love it! I’ll be back soon with more holiday fun!
