Hey there!
It’s Karina, your go-to gal for all things fun and crafty!
I have a soft spot for decor that adds a personal touch to my home, and nothing does that quite like handmade creations.
Recently, I decided to shake things up a bit by diving into the fabulous world of quilted ornaments.
Let me tell you, it was a whirlwind of fabric, pins, and pure joy!
These little beauties are perfect for any occasion—birthdays, holidays, or just to sprinkle some cheer around the house.
Quilted ornaments are not just for Christmas; they’re versatile decorations that can brighten any day!
They make for great gifts, unique decor pieces, and a fantastic way to use up fabric scraps lying around.
I started with a couple of fabrics that caught my fancy, and before I knew it, I had a bunch of quilted ornaments making my living room look festive.
Are you ready to join me on this crafty journey?
Let’s get started on creating our very own quilted ornaments!
Texture and Color: What’s in a Quilt?
When I think about quilted ornaments, the first thing that comes to mind is the delightful combination of texture and color.
Choosing different fabrics for your quilted ornaments not only adds unique flair but also personalizes them!
You can play around with contrasting colors or stick to a theme—like pastels for a spring vibe or bold winter hues.
The freedom to mix and match fabrics is part of what makes quilted ornaments so much fun to make!
Moreover, these little ornaments can tell a story of their own based on the fabrics you choose.
Perhaps some of the fabric reminds you of a cherished memory, or maybe they’re colors that simply make you smile.
Whatever it is, your quilted ornaments will undoubtedly be unique to you, and that’s the beauty of crafting with love.
Get Ready to Craft!
Before we dive into making our quilted ornaments, let’s gather our supplies!
You won’t need much, which makes this project low-fuss and high-fun.
Here’s what you’ll need to whip up a couple of these beauties:
- Two different fabric prints (about 1/4 yard each for extra fun!)
- 3-inch Styrofoam balls
- Flat head pins
- Scissors
- Rotary cutter or mat (optional)
- Ruler
- 5/8 inch ribbon or fabric strips for the outer shell and bow
Easy peasy, right?
The best part is that you can often snag these supplies at local craft stores like Walmart or Joann’s, and don’t forget to use those coupons!
Prep Like a Pro!
Before we jump into the nitty-gritty of creating our quilted ornaments, let’s prep a bit!
Start by washing and ironing your fabric to make it easier to work with.
Trust me, taking this extra step ensures your finished product looks crisp and neat.
Plus, it prevents any shrinkage from occurring after you’ve lovingly put it all together!
Take a moment to lay out your fabrics and decide on your color pattern.
Do you want a bold split of colors, or would you prefer a soft gradient?
Pin down your creative vision, and get ready to create something beautiful with your quilted ornaments!

Remember, crafting is all about having fun, so don’t put too much pressure on yourself!
Your quilted ornaments will reflect your unique creativity.
