Stamped Burlap Ornaments

Embrace the holiday spirit with our Stamped Burlap Ornaments! These charming ornaments are perfect for adding a rustic yet elegant touch to your Christmas tree. Made from burlap and foam balls, each ornament is carefully crafted and stamped with festive words, bringing a unique and personal feel to your holiday decor.

Materials Needed:

• Burlap
• Sharp scissors
• White glue (Tacky glue recommended)
• Template for foam balls (Martha Stewart design recommended)
• Foam balls (more economical than styrofoam)
• Small alphabet stamps
• Permanent ink stamp pad (StazOn in jet black recommended)
• Ribbon, twine, or string
• Pins
• Bells, faux ivy or evergreen, other small decorations (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Template: Print out the template and cut out the size appropriate for your sphere. For a 2.5-inch sphere, enlarge the template to 105% and use the 2-inch size. The template tips should touch the poles of the sphere for accuracy.
2. Cut the Burlap: Use the template to cut out burlap pieces. Be precise for a neat fit.
3. Glue the Burlap: Apply glue sparingly to the edges of the burlap pieces to avoid bleeding. The glue will dry clear but may be sticky initially.
4. Attach Burlap to Ball: Smooth down the burlap edges onto the foam ball, one piece at a time.
5. Stamping: Once the glue is dry, stamp your ornament with Christmas-themed words or phrases using the alphabet stamps and permanent ink.
6. Add Embellishments: Attach your ribbon or twine hanger with a little glue and a pin. Feel free to add jingle bells, brushed with white acrylic paint for a subtle effect, or faux ivy for a festive look.
