Fabric Christmas Ornaments Tutorial 

If you are looking to add a little something more to your holiday decor, these fabric ornaments are a great option. You can hang them from your tree, put them in decorative bowl or set them on a shelf.

What you'll need:

  • Styrofoam/Craft Foam Balls (we used 4" and 6" diameter)
  • Fabric Squares 14" and 19"
  • Ribbon
  • Pine Cones
  • Greenery
  • Red Christmas Berries 
  • White Christmas Berries
  • Hot Glue Gun and Glue
  • Rubber Band

Instructions:

Step 1: Layout your fabric and add your craft foam ball to the center.

White craft foam ball centered on a black-and-white gingham fabric square laid flat on a table.

Step 2: Gather your fabric around the craft foam ball.

Hands smooth a black-and-white buffalo check fabric square over a foam ball on a white table, gathering the cloth upward.

Hands gather black-and-white checked fabric tightly around a foam ball, with a ribbon loop at the top, before the rubber band is added.

Step 3: Tie a rubber band around the gathered fabric to hold in place.

Hands hold black-and-white checked fabric gathered around a foam ball while pulling a thin cord under the rubber band.

Step 4: Cut ribbon for your hook and slide both ends under the rubber band. You can tie a knot around the rubber band or use glue to hold in place.

Hands hold black-and-white buffalo check fabric gathered around a foam ball, with a ribbon loop tucked under the rubber band.

Hands pinch black-and-white buffalo check fabric gathered into a ball, with a ribbon hook knotted around the rubber band.

Hand holds a white ribbon loop tucked into gathered black-and-white buffalo check fabric, forming the ornament's hanger.

Step 5: Add your bow around the gathered fabric to cover the rubber band.

Hands tie a white ribbon bow over the gathered top of a black and white buffalo check fabric ball ornament.

Hands hold black-and-white buffalo check fabric gathered around a ball, with a white ribbon bow tied over the rubber band.

Step 6: Cut your greenery and other embellishments to decorate your fabric ornament.

Hands use wire cutters to trim a frosted artificial eucalyptus stem for the ornament's greenery.

Hands use pliers to cut the wire stem of a red berry pick, with a price tag and frosted greenery on the table.

Step 7: Test your embellishments before gluing in place.

A hand holds frosted faux greenery sprigs against the gathered black-and-white buffalo check fabric, just below a white ribbon bow.

Step 8: Glue your embellishments in place.

Hands press a sprig of frosted greenery onto the bow of a gathered buffalo-check fabric ornament, using a mini low-temp glue gun.

Step 9: Add your beautiful ornament to your tree or other holiday decor!
