Thank you for this video series. I have been a member of the club and tried several ornaments. I have had various “issues” and look forward to having them addressed.
You have an awesome talent Staci and so appreciate your sharing of it with us.
Deborah, I am glad you signed up for this, and I really hope you find it helpful. And, please be sure to let me know if there are any issues that remain after you watch these, so I can do my best to help. 🙂
Thank you for doing this,
Magda van der Walt.
I also signed up. Very excited. I started the other day but two questions. I can hardly get the pins into my ball. When I watch and listen to the video I hear the pins going in without any hesitation. Mine does not. Is there a special brand or kind? Also how do you calculate when using a different size ball?
I work in a seniors work shop and we use a popsicle stick to push in the pins. I also developed a jig to help keep all swatches at the same distance. I hope this is some help for you.
How neat! What great ideas. Thanks so much for sharing with us.
I use a thimble. There are balls that are very dense and others that are very porous. Hobby Lobby probably has both kinds.
Hi staci
I went into my e-mail this morning and my pattern for the snow globe was deleted. I having a problem with my printer and I finally was able to print the july pattern. I went
to print the other pattern and it was gone. I had my granddaughter e-mail to see if there was anyother way to receive the pattern if I could,nt get my printer to work. I,m 80 yrs old and I alwaysn eed some one to help me. I wish you would e-mail my other pattern back so I can try again. sorry for the inconvenience. I did,nt know what an e book was. I would like to order more but I have so much trouble with my printer. please sent back my pattern so I can try again.
thank you janet kennedy
Hi Janet, I see that you emailed me so I’m going to answer you there. Just wanted you to know. 🙂
I am not getting my emails from you. I checked my junk file and it is not there either.
Cindy, I’m going to email you about this. Thanks!
Please send me free package
Hi Ann, are you talking about the free video workshop? I’m not positive what free package you’re speaking of, so sorry. If you could let me know I’ll help you with it.
I have made approximately 50 of these no sew quilted ornaments. All of them look different just because I used different colors. However, all of them, with the exception of the first kit I received from you in September, are the “star” ornament. I have found tons of designs on the internet and some I can figure out and some I cannot. I find these ornaments are addictive – hope I can sell them! Thank you for your videos and helpful notes.
You are very welcome!
About 50years ago I made a few of these
One thing I did a bit different, I used a small melon baller on one side hollowed out one small place. I filled that cavity with pot puree….lavender was my favorite filler. The place was covered with fabric
What a great idea! Thank You Marji.
I am so excited about this
I clicked on the box to register for the free video classes; however, I haven’t received any email or notice of how to see them.
I would like to try these ornaments.
StaceAnn, I have registered but I can’t find the site to go to!!!
Shirley, can you check your email again? We had a slight glitch today with so many signups. I’m sorry about that.
Hi StaciAnn,
I signed up the other day and haven’t received any email or where to view the videos. Thanks for any help
Mary
Hi Mary…. will you check your spam folder? I just checked and the emails were sent to your email address, so I am thinking they may have wound up in your spam folder. (Gmail is notorious for that!)
I have checked the spam a couple of times. Our crazy cyber world, LOL Just don’t understand I used to get things from you. This
Mary, I just checked and I’m almost positive it’s a gmail thing. Gmail puts things in separate ‘tabs’ and when something is coming from a business address like mine, they tend to wind up in spam or what they call the ‘promotional’ folder. Do you have that promotional tab? If so, will you check there?
Staci,
I can’t figure out how to find day 2 of the workshop. I never got the email. I did get day 3 this morning with the embellishments etc., but not day 2. I’m on the OG member’s site, and having difficulty finding day 2.
Jan Benner
Hi Jan… I’m sorry you didn’t get Day Two. That’s really strange. If you go to the Day 3 page, and look at the top, you’ll see links to all 3, including 2. You can click on Day 2 and get to from there.. I hope that helps. Sorry again about that.
I have gmail also, but have looked through my promotional folder, trash, and the inbox and cannot find anything from Ornament Girl. Or will it come under another name? Thanks…..if I do not get it later today, I may re-register, or would that throw things off!! I signed up last night, about 10:30 or so….
Hi Cheryl… I’m so sorry but I am not seeing you in my system at all, under either your email address or name. So, yes, please go ahead and resubmit your info – or if you’d like, I can add you on my end. Whatever is easiest for you. I’m sorry again about that!
It was totally my fault….I did not click on the “I am not a robot button.” Thanks for checking…..and I’ve enjoyed the first video, too…..you do a fine job of explaining everything….thank you!!!!
I have learned so much from these videos, and it cleared up so many “why won’t it come out right” questions. I cannot wait to join the monthly club tomorrow – payday – we live from pay check to paycheck kind of family……………and look forward to learning so much more.
CeeJay
CeeJay, welcome to the club! I am so glad you’ve joined us, and that you found these videos helpful. 🙂
I am watching your videos and they are so well done. Thank you. Soooo much Christmas yardage in my stash, so little time…
Question: I am having a problem with the commentary you made about stripes, I am dyslexic and I cannot see, in my head, what you mean when you describe the direction I want the stripes to run. Can you post some pictures and comments together so I can see what you mean? I don’t want to waste any fabric by cutting it and being disappointed with the results.
Thank you!
Hi Pamela. I’m so glad you like the videos 🙂 Yes, I will take a picture today of what I mean and will post it here for you.
I am not able to enter last 2 video’s i have emailed you 3 times
Hi Debb… I’m sorry. I don’t have your emails for some reason. Could you tell me more specifically what you mean by not able to enter the videos? Is it the links in your emails that are not working?
Looking forward to your workshop, your creations are so polished! Ive.made many of these but want to learn your technique 😊
Thank you for the free workshop. I have made several of the basic star ornaments. I bought two several years ago and in the last few I started making my own. The difference with mine is I cut squares not rectangles. It worked out fine but I now see where the rectangles makes more sense. My squares may end up in a quilt. Lol. I have a great deal of my own supplies and I am happy to see you are offering digital now. See you in Nov.. Thank You.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge for free!! I am so excited to make first ornament.
I got the first two but did not get the third
Hi Karen.. I’m sorry about that. I’ve just re-sent the Day 3 email. Please let me know if you still don’t see it in your inbox.
Thank you for the workshop..It was very well done and I can’t wait to start making ornaments!
I registered for this workshop but now cannot locate the videos. Looked in my computer download folder, gmails, even my account – can’t find the video – particularly the one on making the bows. Any suggestions?
I signed up but don’t see the videos. Am I doing something wrong?
please send 2nd video…I’m ready to go with all the materials. …please
Hello— I’m ready to get started too, but did not receive the second video. Can you send it along? Thanks in advance!
Hi Kim, I’m sending you an email today. Will you let me know if you don’t receive it?
Thanks,
Janelle
Love all the info and demos! I’m working on the USMC Ornament and that e-book has a link that references ornament girl school and it goes to a video that just loops and doesn’t play or it asks me to sign up for three part video. All I would like to request is clarification on how to tuck fabric in without it bunching or deforming the emblem. I’m a little lost on that step and can’t figure it out. I would appreciate any help provided.
Also, I did see all three videos on the star ornament. They were so great! I decided to brave making my first ornament.
Hi Evey, thanks for your kind words! I also wanted to let you know I got your email about this and will be helping you.
Hallo, I live in George, South Africa and followed your two videos with great excitement! My concern is that obviously the balls I purchase here, differs from yours and I am not sure how to figure out the size of a square, depending on the size of the ball. But thanks again, I am looking forward to video 3! Kind regards
Many thanks really beneficial. Will share site with my good friends.
I watched video 2 last night. Now I can’t find it. Can you resend it to me?
How do I get this free patern? Would love to make.
Looking forward to the heart ornament. I made about twenty of the star version for gifts and the church auction. Everyone loved them. Thank you for sharing your talent.
Here we go again! I ordered some things from you in Feb. received some but not all. It’s been 4 days since I received them. I wrote and change my email and house address. I didn’t make a copy of what I ordered so don’t really know. I did order 10 smooth styrofoam 3 in. balls, a little bee charm for the fabric I ordered and got. I ordered one complete ball kit but can’t remember which one. I got some glass balls from amazon at the same time and got them right away. My old email address is llloyd@nemr.net new address is lloydruth762@gmail.com . I have been getting loads of email from you, I do enjoy them. Thank You for any help I can get. Ruth
Hi Ruth… Thank you for the updated email address. It looks like there have been 4 different email addresses from you over time, so I will combine everything into once account for you.
I checked your past orders. Other than the monthly club kits, I don’t see any orders for a separate complete kit, or foam balls (unless there is a 5th email address that I haven’t found yet?). Here is what you’ve ordered:
1 x Antique Bronze Bee Charms – 5 Count (includes 25 matching rings)
1 x Ornament Starter Set – Ribbon Pre-Cut Rectangles + Band
1 x Bee Fabric Pre-Cut Rectangles – 2 x 3 inch (32 count)
1 x Honeycomb Fabric Pre-Cut Rectangles – 2 x 3 inch (32 count)
1 x Lavender Tonal Pre-Cut Rectangles – 2 x 3 inch (32 count)
1 x Pastel Pink Marble Fabric Pre-Cut Rectangles – 2 x 3 inch (32 count)
The tracking shows that this was delivered on March 2nd, to the address in Memphis, MO.
Did you receive these items?
Thank you… Staci Ann
I have receive them now. Thank You so much. Wish I had a new sewing machine, I know, they sell them every day.:-) Love your work good luck in the future.
Is it still possible to sign up for the star ornament videos. I tried above and keep getting an error.
Please send me a link to join your monthly club.
I signed up for the video for the Star Ornament and it still has not come through. Is it no longer available?
I have not received my ornament instructions I’ve wrote a while back and have never received them. I did not know how to ask you about them. I’m interested in joining the club also thank you
Thank you so much for giving us so much inspiration using three different colours . Your ornaments are all amazing. Thank you r sharing your talent. Best of luck in your new quarters.
Thanks
I Love it everything and want to learn how to do different things. I am very interesting. in my future like to join in member. thank you for this.

Can a non member get one of your of kits upon request?
Great
I love it and I can’t wait to start making the ornaments and I have time with the situation we are all in and can’t go out that much.
I signed up a while ago and got Day 1 prep etc..i’m looking for video 2 and 3 so i can finish an ornament. Can somone help me get those?
Hi Jennifer… I will email you the links to Videos 2 & 3. So sorry you didn’t get them the first time!
Do you do half styrofoam ball decorations? I have looked every where but cannot find one.
I had already received the three videos and had a lot of fun making a few ornaments, but my emails were accidentally deleted. Is there a way i can get them back? Thx
Hi Julie, you can actually log into the member area, go to the patterns page, and click on the basic star pattern. That will open up to the page where you can watch the videos anytime you’d like. If you need help logging in, can you send us as help email here? https://theornamentgirl.com/blog/contact/ Thanks so much! Janelle
Hi,
I need some information about the right length and width for the ribbon to do a folded ribbon Christmas bauble and also the diameter of a styrofoam ball.
Thanks
Hi Lisa, we usually use either 1-1/2″ wide, or 2-1/2″ wide cut in half lengthwise. I hope that helps? Have a great day! Janelle

Hi Flo, I’m sorry to hear that. Can you email us so we can further help? Thanks! https://ornamentgirls.com/contact/
I have read everywhere but probably overlooked it, what size Crystal Ball do you use on the angel Ornaments?
I have been reading all the negative stuff, if they don’t like the ornament make it or sell it for someone or put it on Marketplace people might want the kit especially if Stacy doesn’t have extras or they sell out out quickly. club and stop writing such negative letters, I have been a club member for 4 years and only had 2 Little white boxes that were not my taste made them and gave them away easy peasy. Stacy and her team do an awesome job. I love the club so much I am in both clubs now.
I am on Medicare and just make it work for now it might change now but I hope not as the kits take my mind off of my health for awhile I am a widow, found out I have cancer in October so I am on my 15th day of radiation with 66 to go trying to keep it from going into my Lymph nodes and just found out I have stage 3 renal failure 3 days ago, I was very healthy until this So Ladies it could be worse with a kit you don’t like, just don’t complain you won’t find another place with such great things that Stacy offers I have looked at other clubs. There is NOT one out there. Stacy ALWAYs makes things right with your kits.
Thanks for listening to me and complain about something more important then kits you don’t like. I worry I won’t be able to continue after 4 years now thats something to worry about.
Blessings to all of you
Bonnie Hanby
Pulaski, Tn
Hi Bonnie, thank you for your kind and thoughtful comment. I also wanted to let you know the crystal is 24mm in size. I also wanted you to know I am so very sorry to hear of your cancer and health issues. You will be in my thoughts and will say a prayer for you, as well. You’ve got this!
Glad I found this web page….and your free vid on making the star ornament. I belong to a small quilt guild and needed some ideas for some crafts to sell for our group. I plan on using your star ornament (and some other patterns that I have purchased) for our quilt guild boutique that we are hosting in June of this year. If I read your page correctly, it is ok to sell some ornaments for charity projects….let me know if it is not permissible to so
Your video are well detailed and organized and I have enjoyed watching and following them while making ornaments. I also plan to give some ornaments for Christmas gifts this year. Thank you for taking the time and effort in making them.
Hi Elaine, thank you so much for your comment. I’m so happy you’re excited about finding us and our patterns! I’m going to double check with Staci Ann about your question and will reply here and send you a message via the email address associated with this comment, too. I’ll be in touch very soon. Thank you! Have a nice evening, Janelle
Hi Elaine, you’re welcome to sell finished ornaments using our patterns. We just can’t have anyone sell our actual written patterns. But if you make something with the pattern you’re welcome to sell it. And if anyone happens to ask you where you got the pattern for the finished ornament, you can send them to us: http://www.theornamentgirl.com Thanks so much and I’ll email this your way too. Have a nice day. Janelle
please could you tell me what type of pins to use on the eggs
Sorry, my correct e-mail is eekn50@gmail.com. I don’t check to see if it is correct before sending them each time. Really enjoy your videos . Made my first ornament and used fabric from my wedding dress. I had made my great grant granddaughter baptism dress out of it and I kept the scraps. I am going to make each of my children an ornament for Christmas out of rest of the fabric. With the bridal satin they really look nice. Trimmed them with pearls. Only will have 8to make for kids and grand daughters. Keep up the good work.
Can’t wait to make these ornaments!
yay! So happy to hear you’re excited about the ornaments. Have a great day, Sue and happy ornamenting!
I’d love the star pattern videos
Dear “ORNAMENT GIRL”,
I am SUPER EXCITED that I found you when I did to learn from you this AMAZING new craft for myself.
My husband and I are both retired and was enjoying retirement with little issues until we were victims of a terrible MONEY SCAM. This has devastated us both, to say the least. And left us WITHOUT ANY SAVINGS!
I am a retired Interior Designer and since retiring I have been enjoying “Sewing” once again. I do enjoy craft projects to a limited extent.
After loosing our Entire life savings to a Scammer, I was left wondering how on earth we would be able to have enough money to live from here on out. Even though my First love and desired choice of making our living would be to resume my Design business. At this point, with my husband’s health challenges, I was afraid to be gone from home for long periods at a time.
Then, by some miracle, I just happened upon your website. I immediately ordered my First Ornament Kit. So, now my plan is to learn how to make your amazing “Ornament Balls” and hopefully sell them to help supplement our income, since we are now desperate to have more money coming in each month.
So, whatever help you can offer me to get crackin and make some AMAZING ORNAMENTS” ASAP would be MOST GREATLY APPRECIATED!
Thank you on “SO MANY LEVELS!”
Sincerely, Charlotte from East Texas
Hi, Charlotte,
I’m so glad you found us too! And let me tell you that we’re SO sorry to hear about the scam that happened to you. That is just awful but I think you’re going to love making ornaments. They are so fun to make and you can really do beautiful designs with our patterns. Have you seen all our patterns? You can find them here:https://theornamentgirl.com/market/product-category/patterns/
We also sell some material on our website if you would like to browse the items we currently have in stock: https://theornamentgirl.com/market/product-category/ornament-supplies/ If you can’t find what you’re looking for on our site, you can try places like JoAnn’s, Hobby Lobby, other craft stores, or even Amazon.
As far as selling finished ornaments, you’re very welcome to sell your finished ornaments using our patterns, we just don’t allow any reselling of the patterns.
Some advice for pricing in case you aren’t sure where to begin, let’s say you’d like to make $10/hr and the cost of your materials is $7. If it takes 1 hour to make an ornament, you would want to add $10 plus the $7, for a total of $17.
Just be careful not to forget to charge for the non-so-obvious costs and time…such as packaging materials, time spent sourcing materials, etc. That all needs to be accounted for, in order to be SURE you are charging fairly for your work, time, and expenses.
One last note about charging for ornaments would be to consider charging more if you’re offering custom ornament work. Most businesses that offer custom anything do charge more for custom work and that would be completely fine and to be expected in ornament making as well.
As for where to sell your finished ornaments, I’ve seen people make their own websites, sell on places like Etsy, or even on eBay or Facebook. You’d just want to decide which platform would work best for you and your needs.
And one last piece of advice that isn’t necessary when you first begin but could be very helpful in the future, would be to start a newsletter with people interested in buying ornaments from you. That way, no matter what platform you choose to sell on, you will have your own list of customers who want to buy from you and then you can send out newsletters whenever you have new items listed for sale. You can find some places that even have free newsletter options to start out with if you go to google.com and search for newsletter providers.
If you have any other questions, please let me know. I’m always happy to help. And I just want to wish you the absolute best with your ornament business!
Janelle
Ornament Girls Team
“THANK YOU SO MUCH!”
I hope I don’t have to bother you, but it’s a Big BLESSING to know you are there if I need you!
You are definitely “ONE-IN-A-MILLION!” God Bless you and yours! Charlotte Cawyer
You’re so sweet! Thank you for your kind words. Have a lovely day, Charlotte!
Am excited to make these
YAY! So glad to hear that!
