Hello fellow craft fanatics!

My name is Christine, and I just love to make these quilt ball ornaments. They are great for all those scraps of fabric and ribbon that you have left over from the bigger projects, and so easy to make!

Supplies Needed For Your Ornament 

*Steel pins (lots of them!!)
*Styrofoam Ball ~ as big as you'd like your ornament to be (I use a 3.5" one)
*Lots of fabric or ribbon scraps cut into 2.5" squares
*A comfy chair to sit (this'll take a while)

For directions on how to make your ornament, please take a look at the link below "Make-Stuff".
