Decide on the form of the ornament you want to make: select the BAUBLE (Finial) Ornament or the DROP ornament. Decide on the size, I made them all in the smallest size. Then cut:

Step 2 - Cut the fabric pieces

1. Cut out 4 pieces of the design - I cut 4 bauble pieces from fabric.
2. Optional: cut 2 circles from felt, using the circles from page 10 of the PDF pattern - look for the two pieces marked 'Option Small Circle' and 'Option Large Circle'.

Step 2 - Add Felt circles (optional)

Optional step: Grab ONE of the four pieces and either machine- or hand-stitch the felt circles to the center. You won't need to add the felt if you fussy-cut the pieces from, say, floral prints, like I did with the yellow fabric print.

Step 3 - Create 2 sets of 2

Make 2 pairs: place the pieces right sides together, two by two.

Step 4 - Sew pairs

Sew 2 pieces together on one edge only, then do the same with the other two. You'll have two pairs.

Step 5 - Sew 2 pairs together

Place the (compound) pieces right sides together and stitch along one edge again.

Step 6 - Clip the curves

Notch the curved portions of the seam allowance for easier turning.

Step 7 - Sew the last edge

Stitch the last open edge together - make sure to leave a small turning hole.

Step 8 - Add Poly-fill

Turn right-side-out and add some poly-fill.

Step 9 - Close the gap

Stitch the opening closed and add any embellishments you want to. At the top side, add twine or embroidery floss to connect them and make them easy to hang on the Christmas tree.

Done and ready for holiday home decorating!
