Homespun Rag Ball Ornaments

Sue's Creative Workshop
by Sue's Creative Workshop
This year, I wanted to do a small little tree for the dining room. A simple homespun tree with strung cranberries and hand-made ornaments. I had grand ideas and a galvanized pail.
For the Rag Ball Ornaments…


Instead of just wrapping the strips of fabric until it formed a ball, I made the rag ball using a 2″ Smoothfoam Ball.
Supplies used:


•2″ Smoothfoam Ball


•Fabric Scraps


•Mod Podge


•Paintbrush


•Twine


•Ribbon


•sanding block or extra fine sanding paper


•craft glue
Directions:


1.Lightly sand the ridge around the ball.


2.Cut the fabric into 3/4″ strips.


3.Apply Mod Podge onto the back of the fabric and adhere to the ball.


4.Continue until the ball is fully covered.


5.Add an additional coat of Mod Podge over the ball to finish and seal.


6.Poke a hole on the top of the ball and add a dab or glue into the hole.


7.Insert twine into the hole to use as the ornament hanger.


8.Embellish ornament by gluing a bow on top.
