Equipment

  • Measuring tape.
  • Pins
  • Pair of scissors

Ingredients

  • Old Baubles or plastic/foam balls
  • Fabric of your choice
  • Ribbons
  • Thread or rubber bands
  • Jingle bells
  • *optional: Elastic nylon for the bells if your ribbon doesn’t work.
  • Fabric chalk or Mark and be gone markers

Instructions

  • First of all, wipe off any dust or dirt from the ornaments. You don’t want to get that gorgeous fabric all dirty.
  • Then you need to know your baubles or ornament sizes so you can cut your fabric. What I did was use a measuring tape to decide what size I wanted the fabric.
  • Then I measured and cut the fabric squared shape.
  • To make the circles, fold your fabric in half twice.
  • Measure on the side and then keep fixed the center corner and move the tip little by little, making marks as you go.
  • Pin your fabric so it’s easier to cut the curve.
  • Remove pins and unfold your fabric. You got a pretty circle there!
  • Place your bauble (or ball) right in the center of your fabric and gather it around the bauble hanger (if yours have it).
  • Pull the edges and fix large wrinkles to make them as even as possible.
  • Using a thread or rubber band secure your fabric in place around the gathered fabric. I used a red Thread. Tie a really tight (seriously REALLY TIGHT ) knot.
  • Then take your ribbon or ribbons as I did. Measure more or less how much you need and cut.
  • Tie a cute bow around the bauble neck. Since I used 2 ribbons I separated both bow wings.
  • Last but not least. I put some jingle bells below the bow. Cut a string of nylon and insert the bells. Tie it around the ball neck.
  • There you go, you are done and got yourself an adorable buffalo check Christmas ornament!
  • Now repeat with the rest of your ornaments!
