Part 25: Sequins and pins Ornament

on tree
Supplies:
  • small Styrofoam ball
  • sequins
  • embroidery thread for hanger
  • scissors to cut embroidery thread
  • short pins
supplies
Order of events:
  1. Place pin inside of sequin hole and start placing on ball with a little over lapping; continue this for awhile.
  2. Then, add a sequin to a pin and the embroidery thread that has been tied into a loop and place in ball. Make sure subsequent sequins cover thread and overlap on all sides of this sequin to hold it in place.
  3. Continue covering ball with sequins 'till no more Styrofoam shows. This gets harder at the end because so many pins are inside the ball. That is why it is best to use short pins because they take up less space inside the ball.
  4. Finished; hang on tree.

    This is such a cute ornament.
    What a great idea and the colors are so eye catching as well as looking like something I might be able to do. Some of these ornaments look pretty hard to make.

    The bears are just so sweet! I'm sure they are going to make someone very happy.

    these are so cute! My mom has a set of "sequin and pin" decorations that my grandmother made when she was younger. They are kinda retro looking and cute as can be...I imagine that is alot of work!
