Watch the video tutorial below to learn the step-by-step instructions.
Materials:
- 2 Christmas themed fabrics
- fusible interfacing
- kaleidoscope star ornament template
- standard sewing supplies
- click here for the pattern
Directions:
Step 1
Cut out the fabrics twice as wide and high as the pattern. Cut them to get four fabric pieces out of each fabric. Next, iron the fusible interfacing to the wrong side of each fabric. Now, cut the fabric in half lengthwise and crosswise. Repeat this process for the second fabric. (You should end up with eight fabric squares.) Fold each square into a kite shape, then finger press in half along diagonally. Unfold and fold along the other diagonal, then mark the center. Fold all four points so that they meet in the center and iron. To make the kite shape, fold the top left and right corners to the middle line, then pin to secure. Repeat this for all fabric squares.

Step 2
Now, stitch along the left short side and both long sides. Repeat this for all the kite shapes. To assemble the star ornament, add kites one by one and sew them together, alternating the fabrics and overlapping each other. Glue the hanging loop to the back of the DIY Christmas ornament to finish it.
