9 done, 21 more to go!!! thank you Chamby for posting how to make these. I'm making them for my senior friend that I am P.O.A. for in a nursing home. I will give them to the staff that takes care of him!
Every year I try to make something original to give to them to say thankyou for all they do! |

After seeing them on this board I started making some and it's addictive. They are called Folded Star Ornaments:
Here are other links: good pics: http://www.make-stuff.com/projects/quiltball.html http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-31032-1.htm best instructions: http://quilting.about.com/od/holiday...abric-star.htm Each ornament takes one 3" Styrofoam ball, one 2.5" strip of each of three fabrics (light, medium, dark), some ribbon, a TON of super-fine straight pins, and hot glue gun for putting the final strip around the middle. At first I was ironing the squares, then got bored and found it worked pretty well without the ironing step. |
I love them!!!!
|
These are very fun to make! Just by what you show in the pics you've made many more than I have (I've made only 3 of them!!!) but they are FUN!!!
|
So pretty! I've seen these so much I had to run out for supplies, making some right now too :D
|

They are beautiful! I was at a Christmas shop in NC and they were selling these for $30.00 apiece.
|
How thoughtful! and beautiful ornaments!
|
I need to stop coming to the forum until after christmas as I see so many more things I want to make before christmas....oh what a whirlpool I'm in! These are lovely as is everything I find on this forum. I have so many pokers in the fire that I dare not start another........but how can one not try this! The one thing I don't have is the balls.....but is it possible to stop by the craft store on the way to the gym? I wonder.....................how I wish that craft stores were open 24 hrs a day instead of grocery stores......

Nice.

went to youtube and found a video which after viewing makes the directions so much easier for me to understand. In this video, the variance that I see is she does not start with a piece "under" the first layer as the directions from about.com have. I think I'll do the undergarment so no chance of the ball showing through. Otherwise, nice video.
