How to Make your Velvet Christmas Ornaments
Materials Needed
- Dollar store velvet fabric -
For these ornaments you can use whatever shapes you'd like. I chose to do triangle, circle and star shapes because they were nice minimalist shapes. Spend some time measuring out your shapes on your velvet fabric so that you like the lengths, or find objects to trace (like cookie cutters).
I used a ruler to measure the triangles, and I traced the circles and stars using shape I had at home - a cookie cutter and an old candle to be exact.
Cut a front and a back for each shape in each color.
Once you have all the pieces cut out, use
Then attach the string for the ornament in the middle and glue the two sides together. I used leather cording as my string, but you can use anything from jute to ribbon too.
Make sure the velvet is facing outward on both sides when you attach the fabric shapes (good sides out!).
These velvet Christmas ornaments were really nice at this point on their own so you can leave them like that. But I went one step further just to give them a little bit more texture and character. If you chose to, you can stitch around the outside of all the ornaments with just a small seam allowance.
Once you're done sewing, just clean up the excess string and cut around the edges to make sure that the edges of the fabric have a clean look.
I love the look that that stitch adds to these ornaments! I feel like it really finishes them off.
