This week brings you yet more lovely Christmas Ornament Crafts with this How to make a Fabric Bauble from Snaffles Mummy! It really is “decorations” galore here at Red Ted Art, but with Christmas rapidly heading our way, why not? I love ornaments and this is another fabulous idea. Choose fabrics that “fit your colour scheme”. Or my favourite, is to use old baby onesies – another special way to keep hold of those lovely lovely baby clothes (I can you guess yet how sentimental I am) or maybe even use old picture books or magazines?
Snaffles Mummy and I go a long long way back. When I first started out doing crafts and tutorials on Red Ted Art, Snaffles Mummy made my No Sew Bunting. Here is her example. Since then she has submitted to Get Crafties and I always great little crafts and tutorials appear on her site. Fabulous British Crafty Blogger!
We also have a new Christmas Ornament Book. 30 of our favourite ornaments brought together in one place. Sorted by age. Each craft is shared on one page – making the perfect worksheet print outs. Lovely to have them all in one place too!
Only $7.99
Get yours today and keep it forever!
Don’t forget – you can use exciting tired baubles and give them a make over – then this REALLY becomes a thrifty project!!
- PVA Glue and a small paintbrush
- Polystyrene balls
- Ribbon
- Fabric

They are SUCH a good idea! I have a whole load of fat quarters just crying out to be baubles. Wouldn’t they be fab in spring colours too for an easter tree? Thanks for linking to Festive Friday! x
Red Ted Art says
Ooh yes, great fun for easter too!

I think using baby clothes is a wonderful idea! I\’m very sentimental too. By the way, I think I learned a new word, \”baubles\”. I\’m going to use it for the rest of the season!!! 😉
Ellie says
What size ball do you think is best?
Red Ted Art says
Any really – but maybe use one that is the same as an average Christmas Bauble – i.e. what fits with your other decorations?
