DIY Fabric Ornaments With Stencils From Joann Fabrics

November 20, 2018

Today I'm sharing a Christmas craft project with supplies I purchased at Joann Fabrics.

Above is a Maker's Holiday Craft 4" x 4" paper stencil set of 12 designs available at some of the Joann Fabrics stores. They are NOT available online, but you can check if they are available at a store near you.

I paid $2.49 for the set at 50% off.

This set is also from Joann's.

The stencils are paper and fragile, but have some great designs for small items.

I am going to create some fabric ornaments using a red and black buffalo check flannel and a sturdy canvas fabric.

First I traced around one of the new stencils onto Heat N Bond Ultra Hold.

I then changed my mind.

I traced one of my upcycled Hobby Lobby paper ornaments from another recent project.

They were about 4" wide.

I ironed 3 Heat N Bond circles onto the natural canvas fabric and 3 onto the red and black buffalo check flannel fabric.

I then peeled off the paper backing and ironed the fabric circles onto Pellon Extra Firm Stabilizer. The Pellon will give my ornaments stiffness so they stay flat, and aren't flimsy.

I used a single hole punch to make a hole in my ornaments.

I used Fusion Mineral Paint in Champlain to stencil on the flannel checked fabric and Fusion Mineral Paint in Coal Black to stencil on the canvas fabric.

I will be using more of these stencils on another project too. Several of the stencils are two parts with overlays. I thought that may be too hard to do on fabric.

I tied a jute string hanger through the hole to hang on a tree.

This project is very easy!

Here are all six ornaments hanging on my spruce tree tops.

Since I have a covered patio, I will be using these ornaments to decorate one of my outdoor greenery buckets.

I may spray them with an acrylic sealer to keep them looking good. I do get some snow blowing in the covered patio at times. I will also secure the ornaments with a little piece of wire so they stay on the branches.
