How to Make a Homemade Velvet Christmas Ornament With a Styrofoam Ball

1). Cut out a rectangle from plush velvet fabric to measure 6 inches wide, 13 inches long.
2). Lay the velvet rectangle horizontally on the table, and cut out 1-inch triangles along the top and bottom edges to make the edges spiked.
3). Cover a 4-inch Styrofoam ball with fabric glue, then wrap the rectangular form around the ball.
4). Fold the spiked edges over on the top and bottom of the Styrofoam ball to close the velvet wrapping. Allow the fabric glue to dry for 30 minutes.
5). Insert lines of pearl-topped straight pins along each seam on the top and bottom of the velvet wrapping. This conceals the seams in a decorative way.
6). Cut a piece of ribbon using scissors to measure 18 inches long.
7). Lay the ribbon out horizontally on the table, and place the velvet ball in the center of the ribbon.
8). Fold the ribbon up over the top of the velvet ball, twist the ribbon perpendicular to how it was previously positioned, then tie the ribbon into a tight knot.
9). Tie the ends of the ribbon into a knot, leaving an excess of ribbon on the ends that measure 3 inches long. Tie the ends into a bow.
