When you make each week’s ornament, you can share it with me (& all the other participants) on Instagram<\/strong><\/a> using the hashtag\u00a0#OrnamentGirlsChallenge<\/b>\u00a0(and if you’re an OG club member, please also share in our private group!)<\/p>\n IMPORTANT:\u00a0<\/b>This is voluntary and just for fun! You do not HAVE to participate. You do not HAVE to buy any patterns. You do not HAVE to do anything! We want you to make these with us, but please know that it’s 100% voluntary!<\/p>\n In order to make all 4 ornaments, you will need…<\/i><\/p>\n 1.\u00a0About 1\/2 to 1 yard EACH of three different fabrics<\/b>\u00a0(<\/i>this is an approximation – you may use slightly different amounts depending on how you arrange your fabrics on your own ornaments. You can get a little extra if you want to be on the safe side!)<\/i><\/p>\n ****I recommend 3 fabrics that contrast highly with each other.<\/u>****<\/b><\/p>\n 2. A LOT of straight pins.<\/strong> I would go ahead and buy yourself a nice big one pound box from\u00a0HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n 3. Foam:<\/b>\u00a0All 3″ round balls….<\/p>\n (Note: All of the lined-ball recommendations above can be drawn on by you! We are currently experiencing a foam shortage, and may not have our pre-lined foam available each week. We have all the resources to show you how to do this yourself.)<\/i><\/p>\n 4. Whatever embellishments you’d like to use for all 4 ornaments.<\/b><\/p>\n 5. Each week’s pattern.<\/b><\/p>\n\n I don’t want to leave anyone out, so in order to make this as accessible as possible for\u00a0everyone<\/i>\u00a0to make along with me, each week’s pattern will be available at a very special deal.<\/p>\n The special price will be for one week, on that week’s pattern.\u00a0I’ll send you a link to each week’s special deal when I send you your weekly challenge email.<\/b><\/p>\n Be sure you’re on my email list<\/a><\/strong> so you can get each week’s Challenge Email! Each week’s email will say ‘Ornament Challenge Week #’<\/b>\u00a0in the subject line so you can spot it easily!<\/p>\n (If you’ve never tried one of my patterns before…. they are FOOLPROOF. And many of them come with full-length videos, too. So, no worries.. you WILL be able to make these ornaments along with me. :) )<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We used the most beautiful patriotic fabric for our upcoming Ornament Girls Club<\/a><\/strong> ornament for June, and I loved it so much that I’m using them for this challenge.<\/p>\n They are:<\/p>\n Darlene is using these fabrics:<\/p>\n Tanya is using these fabrics:<\/p>\n (notice Tanya is using 2 different fabrics instead of 3. Feel free to experiment!)<\/em><\/p>\n\t\n <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t Beautiful ornaments are ahead!<\/p>\n I’ll see you in your inbox in ONE WEEK for Challenge #1. :)<\/p>\n Staci Ann<\/b><\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Back in the summer of 2018, I challenged myself to make a bunch of different ornaments out of the same 3 fabrics.
