Scrap Fabric Ornament

Scrap Fabric Ornament by melissss.
They are very easy to make. Inspiration came from a quilt book. All you need is a foam ball, glue, fabric, thread, and sewing pins (pins with a ball head on the top). Start by wrapping strips of fabric around the ball, glueing each end of the fabric strip to the ball. Once you are done, place one pin into the ball leaving part of it sticking out. Tie a long piece of thread onto the pin and start wrapping the thread around the ball making any design you want. This also helps keep the fabric onto the ball. Then tie the thread onto the pin and press the pin completely into the ball. You can add as many pins & thread as you want. I did two, one going vertical and one horizontal. Then get a strip of fabric and glue & pin it onto the ball. All done!

Way to recycle! Did you see the latest article in Quilting Arts Magazine called "Thread trash?" It's about the raggedy threads that come off when you wash a new piece of fabric. She uses them to add embellishments to quilts, wind into little balls, etc. It's pretty cool.

Thank you for such a great idea! Instead of foam for the center I am using old newspaper that I wet under the faucet and balled up. Hopefully it won't be smelly when it dries. Merry merry!
