Well, today I turn it up to 8 times faster and made a speedy video.
My DIY farmhouse style ornament took 56 seconds to make. 😉
DIY Farmhouse Style Ornament
Today a group of bloggers is sharing DIY tips to make a junk ornament. Please check out the other ornaments at the bottom of this post.
The junk ornament I picked to make I first made 35 years ago. I was working at a daycare center. The ornament today is made the same way but in a farmhouse style.
For this junk project, you need
Scissors
An old spoon
Scrap pieces of fabric {about 2 to 3-inch pieces}
4-inch styrofoam ball
A piece of twine
A straight pin and the
One drop of glue
There is the speedy video to help show how easy this junk ornament is to make.
Instructions are written below…incase my hands were moving too fast! 😀
Place a piece of fabric on the Styrofoam ball. Press the edges of the fabric using the spoon into the ball.
Continue around all edges. Place another piece of fabric next to the last piece. Press the edges of this fabric into the ball.
Continue until fabric covers the ball. You can cut fabric into any shape to fit an open area.
To hang in your junk ornament, cut 8 inches of twine. Make a loop and tie the ends. Push the straight pin into the knot, add a dot of glue, then push into the ball.
Thanks for sharing. What a great use of scrap fabric. Sort of a crazy quilt ornament😊 and rainy day
Entertainment!!!
I think I will make these with our young grands! So easy and safe with a spoon!
Jeanette, this rustic farmhouse ornament is lovely!! Thanks for the video! Now if only I can make the ornament that fast. 😉
I learned how to make these 35 ago too. I din’t use a spoon though and I like that idea (I was taught with a metal nail file). Too cute–thanks for sharing!
These are so rustic and unique! I love your fabric choices and will have to give these a try. I think you made it look easier than it actually is. Would it hurt to use glue under the fabric Jeanette?
Like the speedy video, if only I could craft that fast. Great decoration as well !
