How To: Folded Fabric Pinecone Ornaments

How to make folded fabric pine cone ornaments like the ones I did for the ornament exchange. You can use any selection of fabric for these; I used patterned fabrics with brown being the main color. You can also use ribbon instead of fabric.
What you'll need:
fabric (one fat quarter will yield you 2 ornaments)
rotary cutter
rotary mat
styrofoam eggs
sequin pins
craft glue (Elmers)
hot glue and hot glue gun
ribbon
floral piks and miniature ornaments to decorate the top
Hope you all enjoy!

Thanks. I'm German so I LIVE for Christmas! We spend 6 months celebrating it and the next 6 months planning for it. ;-)

[@osuzyq828]

I love that you put your finger in the glue, made a cute reference to balls and then apologized for it, and didn't like the last set of cranberries so just ripped it off. So real!

[@andalittlecreamsoda]

Wow. Those are really pretty too. They look great.

[@Ativabrand]

Very nice. I will be trying these. Good quality video with easy to follow instructions.

[@audreydraher4786]

Used to make these with fabric ribbon in the 1990's but the stores don't sell it anymore. Thank you for the detailed directions on how to make these with fabric. Your suggestions are so helpful. Thank you.

[@nancycobbett2699]

this is #1 on my project list to make for Christmas this year; clear-cut instructions, thank you........

[@tweetnes]

Oh my you sure are crafty. This is very nice.

[@944gemma]

I haven't made these in years. They are so pretty and so simple to do. FYI They can also be made using 1" wide, fairly stiff ribbon cut into 2" lengths. I just love your videos. I have to say you are a born teacher.

[@seaside2001]

Gosh - those ornaments are darned cute!

[@Mtda1sy]

Thank you so much for your video. I have been making round quilted ornaments from my local quilt shop. But was not aware of the pine cone ornaments. They are so lovely. Great tip with the glue! You are a wonderful teacher!

[@maryfewtrell5869]

What

[@deboraah917]

Thanks for the demo. Easy and fun to make. Your instructions are clear and easy to understand.

[@mike1968442]

OMG, I never saw these before. Guess Ive been under a rock, but this is so addictive. I have made over 50 so far. Just went to hobby lobby this morning and purchased 60 more eggs of all different sizes. Now Ive even started doing this in two tone fabrics. My fingers are callused over from pushing in the pins. They are going to look wonderful hanging on my stairway.TFS.

[@croutoncrackerjacks]

Thank you. I tend to like things that look fussy but aren't necessarily fussy to make. It's all in the details which if you're going to spend 20 minutes making something, may as well spend another 5 to kick it up a notch!

[@jamestullock3396]

Thank you so much for sharing your video. It was very well done. Very easy to follow and I will be making some this year. Thanks again!

[@katydidiy]

I'm glad I found this! I made several of these a few years ago and they are still the prettiest yet. I'm going to make more, thanks!

[@pamelastickles6779]

I finally found a site that would teach me how to make the folded fabric pine cones. Thank you for this and all your other wonderful videos. Looking forward to more of your recipes and craft projects. Happy Holidays

[@22justus24U]

The ornamental pinecone de-mystified. What a great little ornament! Love your choice of fabric too.

[@CRAFTINGAGANDMORE]

Great video! I must try this. I agree that you are an excellent teacher!

[@Artistmom2011]

Cute idea.. I think ironing the squares into the shape needed ahead of time would save time.. especially if making more than one, which I think most would do if doing these. Like the fabric idea more than the paper one I saw

[@THESHOMROM]

I don't know your profession, but you're an excellent teacher! I've watched all of your craft videos and enjoyed each one. The only one I find a little difficult is the crocheted snowflake. That's because I'm just learning to crochet, not because the instructions aren't clear. I'm going to try it soon. Thank you for the lessons.

[@ceceliatimmons1799]

I love the fabric ornaments! I'm always looking for a new craft...have done so many different crafts over the years and love new ideas...it looks easy enough and fun to do!! thank you!

[@shumebute]

i've seen several versions of this pattern but your choice of fabric and the result is really amazing. good job

[@lynncrum]

I thought those were going to be so difficult to make, but you explained it so simply! I cant wait to try some! I love all of your videos and look forward to seeing more.

[@ragonzo24]

Very cute idea. I have to make these with the grandkids. Thank you for sharing.

[@vlinderman1292]

I love to watch you, I never get bored I watch till the end. you do not get off topic and you are each to follow.

[@Carylanne927]

thank you for such well put together instructions for the egg shape. love the pic with all your finished exchange ornaments.

[@galemckiddy5120]

It helps a lot if you iron your fabric first so you are not battling the wrinkles as you work. Your work also looks much smoother.

[@robin7222]

Balls! lol, it's ok no need to apologize, you weren't inappropriate! What a hoot! Crack me up 🌞 Those pinecones are gorgeous!

[@kwalden801]

Such an awesome cute ornament. I love fabric and I will be making these. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@yllekr123]

That is a really great way to make them, liked the fabric too.

[@francesnolan6555]

That is so cute! Would make cute Easter egg ornaments to put inside a basket. Love your videos ... so well explained and visualized. Refreshing to see a guy doing this sort of thing.

[@Sheila6325]

Those pinecones are adorable! and even I could make these! I just love Christmas, and having a few new items each year is so much fun. I can't make the elaborate things I used to be able to do each year, husband bedridden, but THIS I can do. Thank you so much for the video, I have so wanted a small project, and this is the first that really got to me. I tend to want to go wild with Christmas ornaments. They're really nice, and take little room to make. Just Darling!

[@jcsallen3]

Great video and super instruction with a clear voice. Thank you so much for your time and talent and, of course, for sharing it freely! JCAllen

[@croutoncrackerjacks]

That, they would. You can do the same thing using round balls and there is a way to fold the last square so all edges are turned under and also hide the pins in the corners if you wish to go that route.

[@LindaSmith-vu7jh]

I love all the Christmas Ornaments you made and you explain it so well .

[@VeronicasVeil333]

Wonderful instructions and beautiful ornaments! Thanks for a great tutorial.

[@justwant2bhappy]

Wow they are so beautiful! You are so good at showing us how to do it. I couldn't do this as I am not a crafty person and have no patience. You must be a teacher, you make perfect how to videos! Thanks for all you do.

[@croutoncrackerjacks]

I remember seeing those that you did too. These are pretty much along the same lines so you know the time they take!

[@sonniecampbell1788]

Great tutorial! And great ornaments!

[@pamelarubelmann5692]

These are beautiful. Love your fabrics !

[@lawnabella]

Very informative and well done. I couldn't wait to try one of these. I had fun picking out different fat quarters and I enjoyed creating my first one. Will be making many more. Thanks for the video!

[@imperceptibleme]

And they were absolutely beautiful. For the first ornament exchange, I made Christmas balls using this technique. I only made 3 or 4 though as I like to change up my ornaments. Fantastic job and I love mine.

[@elainewhite9361]

This is lovely,you explained everything so precisely,so it is easy to understand.I have GOT to try this,thank you for a great tutorial .

[@croutoncrackerjacks]

A fat quarter is a quarter yard of fabric. They're sold as-is instead of having to be cut off the bolt. As well, they are twice as wide (where the 'fat' part comes from) as a normal 1/4 yard. A 1/4 yard that is cut off the bolt is 9" wide and 44" long whereas a fat quarter is 18" wide but 22" long (basically a 1/2 yard cut in half width wise instead of length wise). It's a good way to buy a bunch of different fabrics instead of having to wait for a store associate to cut all of them.

[@croutoncrackerjacks]

Once you get into a groove, they go rather quick. I could get all the fabric folded and pinned in 15 minutes without ever putting the styrofoam egg down after doing a couple. And no meaning in the numbers. I tried finding tags that would look good with them and had no luck until I found a piece of scrapbooking cardstock with the 25 days of Christmas on it. So I cut each 'day' out and made them into tags!

[@carlenevasseur]

Loved your video. Great instructions. TYSM.

[@darnelleechols8556]

Great tutorial. Thanks for sharing!

[@brendablackmon4490]

Thank you for sharing your talent! This is a great project to do with my grandkids.

[@AKSNANGELS]

I'm in love with these! I call the style I decorated my home in rustic-lodge chic. ;). These will be an awesome addition as a group placed in a basket on my kitchen table. Love, love, LOVE them!!!! TFS! :)

[@indiangurl7029]

I think this was a GREAT tutorial. I think I'm going to make these for my family with their college colors, Halloween (candy corn) and Harvest colors. Thanks for the idea.

[@glamneu5620]

Such a great project! Your directions are spot on.

[@michelcooper8048]

[@laloba6690]

These will look great with my quilted ornaments. Thanks for the idea.

[@kathleenking7438]

[@buglady58]

[@susanspisak65]

Thank you for this, well explained and easy to follow tutorial ! I am excited to make these for Fall 😊

[@rhondaschaffer1297]

Thank You 😊 I love the idea of glueing everything, because I was wondering about that, when I watched some other videos and they did not glue, I was like oh dear that’s lame to come apart. Loved your video!!!🦋

[@PossumLady8262]

Thank you!! I subbed you because of your recipes...but was binge watching today and saw this!! You actually explained the process in more detail than other channels that did these ornaments. Two thumbs up!!! :-)

Jason, You are so creative & they all turned out so great !! I Love watching you make this. Great Job & I feel special having one. =) Hugs

[@TheRoadsideWonders]

These also make great decorative "bowl fillers" - sans the Christmas portion at the top. I also like to make the quilt-pattern type that use round styrofoam :)

[@reginaconner1473]

Great! Thank you for the tutorial.

[@ariesradio]

So cute! Thank you!

[@bam1760]

try using an old fashioned quilting thimble to push pins in and save the skin on the fingertip.
