BEAUTIFUL

[@dianaphillips8038]

Beautiful. If you cut the fabric on the bias it is easier to form with less puckering

[@karonwostenholme6533]

❤ really nice

[@shirleycranswick8476]

Thank you so much for explaining this so simply. I really feel ready to give this a try now. I have seen a Kimekomi ball that looked like a beautiful coloured glass window but i don't know if it is yours or someone else's but i will walk before i run. Take care. Shirley from the UK.

I find that if I place a strip of stick glue down the center of my space I’m working on, my fabric stays in place for me and doesn’t move around as much..

[@debbiefetter929]

Your videos are great. When doing the snow globe type, can you draw lines on the ball so it helps like up the triangles. TIA. I just started learning how to make them.

[@TheOrnamentGirl]

Yes, absolutely!

[@jumpermel29]

What size seed bead did you use?

[@rebeccagonzales9667]

Hi. I ordered the pre-lined foam balls. Do I still need to cut grooves? Thanks!

[@TheOrnamentGirl]

Hi Rebecca... Yes, you'll still need to cut the grooves, but you've saved yourself the trouble of having to draw them first. Thank you!

I know how to do the lines on ball from paper strips but what about using bigger balls like 8". How do I draw a template to cut the fabric on an 8" ball just from the lines? That is what I'm stumped on. Thank you.

[@TheOrnamentGirl]

For a larger ball like that, you'll have to create your own template. You may be able to enlarge my template with some trial and error.

[@fosta60]

Can you link or recommend a hot knife? TIA

[@TheOrnamentGirl]

Yes, this is the one I use: theornamentgirl.com/blog/hot-knife

[@zacsgran1]

Is your e-book for the ornaments still available

[@TheOrnamentGirl]

Yes it is: theornamentgirl.com/blog/get-my-moonlight-ornament-pattern-for-free/

[@anitachampion.613]

I don't find the template for this Moonlight

[@beverlynaujoks8906]

Some of the videos I've watched for this type of ornament they used thin quilt batting under the fabric to help hide the defects in the ball.

[@TheOrnamentGirl]

I've tried that a few times and don't really prefer it, but I know some people do :)

[@gerriwalsh3904]

Cant order products it your website isnt any good, put my info in 2 times ,doesn't work

[@dianaphillips8038]

Are the balls solid or hollow?

[@TheOrnamentGirl]

We work with solid foam balls. I hope that helps!

[@Marla.22]

The template is not there. I have to sign up just to get a template? Forget it
