I work setting my egg in a shot glass, It makes it easier to turn and I don't have to lay the egg down when working :D I draw circles around my egg or balls so I know where each layer should go, and my lines make an X. I also iron all of my squares for sharper edges. I get my eggs on clearance after Easter too :D
I was so afraid that my grandchildren might take one of these off the tree and then pull the pins out that I used hot glue to glue each cloth square and then hot glue them onto the white base. It took way longer but safer for kids at my home
I watch this video 3 weeks ago and I have been obsessing about it ever since. Finally, today I went and bought the supplies to make my own. The only thing I can't find in the middle of December is Styrofoam eggs. Apparently they're easy to find around Easter. Thank God for Amazon!
I’m so glad to see the folded-fabric ornaments come back! They were very popular in the early 90s; I must’ve made dozens for craft shows. ETA: luckily for us, this time around we have the internet and good teachers like you!
My Mom was a florist and very creative. She came up with this ornament in the late 1960s. She used ribbon for hers, still have and cherish her ornaments!
I had so much fun making this ornament. It's a gift for my sister and brother in-laws since they moved to Arizona from Oregon. I think they will love the concept of pine branches, snow falling, and snow covered holly branches. 🥰
I have been making these for approx 40 years. The original "pattern" that I saw was called "prairie folded ornament" but, over the years, I developed my own style and called them "Victorian Christmas ornaments". I started out with green/red/gold Christmas ribbons and decorated the tops with holly leaves and berries and a narrow ribbon bow. They became more ornate and more Victorian and sometimes a little shabby with long narrow ribbons draping over the sides. I loved doing these...they were easy to create as I listened to a TV show and they sold well at craft shows. I also custom-made them for friends in a solid color to match their decor.
I made one of these years ago, without sequins or beads, and this is exactly the tute I need right now. I bought a blush tree with an end of season sale last year and I want to make a shabby chic-themed tree with calico pinks, ivory and burgundy fabrics. Thanks for the great refresher and tips to make mine more fancy.
I watched one of your ornament shows about 2 years ago. You had me hooked from the first 10 minutes. Thank you for sharing your beautiful ornament s for us who have no original creation genes. I must have made 2 dozen of the quilted star styrofoam ornaments. I lost count on the pinecones. Thank you for all your help. No one has been disappointed with the ornament they received from me via you!
Saw these from a neighbor many years ago. They have always been in the back of my mind as to how she created these. Neve occurred to me to google to find out if there was a video. Am so happy that you showed up on my feed tonight. Now I will be able to make my own. Thank you for such explicit directions.
Simply amazing. Tip......when you get to the end of your row, take that pin out of the first one you laid down in the row and lift it up and pin it on the right side of the fold so the pattern stays the same. Open side pinned to folded side. Just an idea.
Made my first pine cone ... man the styrofoam was so hard, each pin was a chore. Nothing like the round quilted one I made right after. They both turned out wonderful, if a bit large at 4 inches. Will have to snag me some 3 inch eggs and balls. Thank you for the wonderful tutorials ❤️❤️
Collette, it sounds like you might have been using the 'SmoothFoam' brand, which is great for many things, but not these! They are super dense and will just kill your fingers. Glad they turned out great though!! :)
I’m so happy that your channel showed up in my search for fabric Christmas decorations! I just got through searching through boxes in my studio closet, and I found 9 of your ornament subscription boxes from 2016 & 2017 that I never got around to making. I’m not sure if your channel has the exact tutorials for those ornaments, but I know you show enough instructions for others to get me through making my ornaments. Nine gifts without needing to buy anything else = A BIG WIN! ✌🏼💜🛼
Hi Beckie! Just in case the tutorials here on youtube DON'T cover the kits you have, you can also get them on our website. I've built a new website since those kits were released, and I can set you up access for all those tutorials/ebooks. I just need your email to send everything to you. Can you send me your info here?: ornamentgirls.com/contact/
I read your article about the ordeal with all of your foam shapes! I am so sorry! Do you have any suggestion where I might find the correct size egg foam shape to make this ornament? What are the dimensions I should look for? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thank you!
Hi, I love watching your videos, so well presented and includes all the information, that is needed. I used to make these for craft fairs, before I got arthritis and what I would do with the top, if I ran out of fabric, pins and boy some of the tops were really wonky :) I would cut a small circle of the same fabric and fabri tac it to the top. Of course, that means that I had to use wider to ribbon to make the bows, to cover it up more, just something I found useful on a few occasions. I wish I had known about you years ago, I am really loving watching someone doing what I cant any more. Thanks Jane
Love this one , I have done it with gold paper in the past very interesting and fun to do . Only difference is that when I come to the end of one tow .I remove the pin and put the last borner on the left under and put Bach a pin so that the pattern continue the same everywhere. Well done and your teaching is excellent
Ive made quite a few of these over the last few years but have never been happy with the top. Wish i had found your videos before now-thats a pefect finish! The ribbon bows are lovely. Also love the idea of adding beads. Going to remake mine , thank you for sharing your expertise
Of all the Christmas crafts projects I’ve seen in my life, and I have seen thousands of them, this little pine cone is the most creative one. Thank you for sharing your idea. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
I liked this one better so I will try then ....I think I have ruined one ball so I started on another ball but still is not looking like yours... so I don’t know what I am doing wrong 😑....but will not give up... I like challenges and I am not let this put me off of keep trying... thank you for your great instructions videos... you are amazing 🙂
Just found your channel! Love these ornaments, my mom made these about 30 years ago, I still have mine. Little idea tip- she made hers from wide ribbon. So mine are shiny!
Very pretty! It's an excellent idea for using up leftover jelly rolls from quilts. The bows on top are pretty too. It would look nice to have a few ribbon streamers too.
I love your videos and projects. I’d like to kindly recommend that you put links to your blog and store in the notes so people can find you easily. :) Thank you!
I love this ornament. I have decided to use my husband's shirt and the dresses I wore at our wedding 50 years ago. I will give these ornaments to our kids and grandkids for Christmas. My husband is excited to do this also. My only worry is the shirt is very lightweight cotton and the dress is a heavyweight material. They are not at all alike. The Colors will be beautiful. They are blue solid, and the shirt is cream and blue. I just don't know about the differences in fabric weight. What do you think?
This makes a very pretty pine cone. I love the little beads on it and the way you hide the pins. I have material like the pine cones and pine needles in gold and cream. So will make some cones for a bowl. Ty
Great video !!!!!, you have the perfect voice for teaching your crafts. I'm a new subscriber to your channel and I'm looking forward to seeing your other work. Thanks for the lesson, it's beautiful and hopefully mine turns out
When I make these ornaments I prep all my pieces by ironing then into the diamond shape and placing the pin in the corner to hold them together. Then I can just create. I have made felt(I use 100%wool)branches wrapping some jewelry wire and wrapping it then make some berries to top mine and adding some clear beads to give a little sparkle. So glad to have found your chann
Luv the pine cone! Also yr pink dishes as I am a collector of the pink depression glass. My daughter and sister collect the green depression glass. I also collect Fire King dishware and mostly the orange color but have some pearl white and some blue. Also like the jadeite but don't have any. I plan on trying to make some pine cones. Thanks.
I have never seen that collection, I'll look it up! I only started collecting mine a little less than 2 years ago after I got a few pieces at a flea market. I still don't have many but hoping to grow the collection a little. Let me know how your pine cone turns out, and thank you!
I'm glad you're going to give it a try! I do not have a separate video, but you can use the same fabric sizes and folding technique on a ball. I hope you enjoy making yours!
Omg! I love these! This is so perfect for my mom bc she is obsessed with pinecones lol I think I will make her one for Christmas and her birthday! Thank u so much for sharing this! I just subscribed to your channel and I look forward to seeing more of your videos! P.s. I dont ever writes comments on videos lol but I REALLY love this! Thank you once again! Oh a quick question...can you buy 2 inch square fabrics or will I just have to cut a ton of fabric? Lol
I'm so glad you like this! We do them pre-cut in our kits, but we don't have any pine cone kits right now, unfortunately! But if you use a rotary cutter and mat, it will make your life MUCH easier, and it really won't take you that long, promise!

I've been making these for years. Christmas plaid with glitter fabric makes beautiful ornaments.

Beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing. Easy directions. ⚘️⚘️❤️
Just found you and enjoyed your video especially the bows. I had ago last year but I used Xmas wrapping paper because you got lots of nice pattens
I was wondering if you could use paper. I was thinking something along the lines of scrapbooking paper but wrapping paper is a wonderful idea! Thanks!
Can't wait to try it. Your work is beautiful
Bless you ,you have made this project so easy xx
Thank you for the tutorial, it was easy to follow, I shall give this beautiful ornament a try. Reg Rita.

What a lovely idea. I think it will be ok to use different weight fabric. You could use light interface on the shirt fabric
I adore these. Thank you!!!

That is gorgeous! I'm going to try one today. Thank you!
As a safety precaution (safety for the pinecone) I put a dab of fabric glue on the pin holding the hanger. Pin glued in, no pine cones dropping off.
Had to subscribe after you said “legit pineapple 🍍!”

Thank you for sharing. I have wanted to try this project for a long time. Yours is beautiful!

Beautiful! U Did An Excellent Job! 💖💖
Just found this. Great video.
An old craft, I have made many of them with ribbon.
I’m excited to try this ornament. I’m new to fabric ornaments and don’t have an egg foam shape. Is there a separate video for the artichoke?
I'm glad you're going to give it a try! I do not have a separate video, but you can use the same fabric sizes and folding technique on a ball. I hope you enjoy making yours!
BEAUTIFUL
Beautiful
Beautiful design and thanks for sharing ❣
This is beautiful, thank you for sharing ...
I love it.
Absolutely love this ornament! You explain directions really well! Thank you!
Beautiful! 💖🎄
The last square of each row, the right side should be placed inside of the first square (blue) fold.
Thx for such a great tutorial!!!
Pretty
Where can I find a video or pattern for the no-sew pineapple ornament? I checked the videos and didn’t see it.
Happy to have found your channel. TYFS, stay safe and healthy everyone ❤️fat fingered my message 😅
If I was doing it, I would put four boy ones at the top and let that be at an extent of the top and then put the ribbon bows on it with the center
Awesome video Thankyou
That is so pretty!
Hello there how are you?
Thanks for sharing 🥰
So beautiful
It is just beautiful ❤️
I also collect Pink Depression Ware in that pattern.
Wow. I’ve never seen anything like this.
Thank you for this video! So much fun! ❤️
Hello there how are you?
Sooooo Soo beautiful!
Beautiful.
Cute project.
You make it look so easy and professional. Does the straight pin really hold that pine cone up? What size straight pins do you use?
It will! Sometimes if the ornament is very heavy, you can add a dab of glue to help hold the hanger in place, but usually you won't need to.
Very nice!
Just the project I need this week! What brand or density foam egg do you suggest? And size?
Omg! I love these! This is so perfect for my mom bc she is obsessed with pinecones lol I think I will make her one for Christmas and her birthday! Thank u so much for sharing this! I just subscribed to your channel and I look forward to seeing more of your videos!

Loved your video, you’re a great teacher! I went to your website and you didn’t have any eggs. Are you going to have any in stock?
Love this channel
