2 bauble template options:

There are 3 designs on page 10. Look for the BAUBLE Ornament.
Alternatively, you can make a different design, it's called the DROP Ornament on the same page (10) of the Free Pattern Bundle

Steps

Diy Christmas Ornament - Step 1

Decide on the form of the ornament you want to make: select the BAUBLE (Finial) Ornament or the DROP ornament. Both are on page 10 in the PDF file. Decide on the size, I made them all in the smallest size. Then cut:

Cut out 4 pieces of the design - I cut 4 bauble pieces from fabric.
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'.

Diy Christmas Ornament - Step 2

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 (see image below)

Diy Christmas Ornament - Step 3

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

Diy Christmas Ornament - Step 4

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

Diy Christmas Ornament - Step 5

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

Diy Christmas Ornament - Step 6

Notch the curved portions of the seam allowance for easier turning. This is what you have now:

Diy Christmas Ornament - Step 7

Time to stitch the last open edge together - make sure to leave a small turning hole:

Diy Christmas Ornament - Step 8

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

Diy Christmas Ornament - Step 9

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!

I love how whimsical these look! For a beginner sewer, this project doesn't look too complicated either. Thanks for sharing this DIY and free pattern.
