No sew fabric Christmas ornament


There are many tutorials available to make these ornaments. I used this one from YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OB9S-rxIe6w. I edited this pattern a bit because I wanted to add a picture to the front. Using a picture means adding one larger piece of fabric rather than the four triangles. So, I adapted the pattern just a bit. I followed the directions in the tutorial and designated the first half of the ornament as the back. Then, I placed my picture in the center of the unfinished half of the styrofoam ball. First, I pinned the four corners. Next, I trimmed, smoothed, and pinned the rest of the picture edges. Using the lines created on the back half of the ornament as guidelines i pinned the front of the ornament following the tutorial's instructions for the second and third layers.
