This video will show you how I do my Basic Triangle Fold.
The traditional way of creating 'Quilted' Ornaments uses a square. I started using a rectangle instead, for a couple of reasons.
- I think it results in slightly less 'bulk' in the finished ornament.
- I wanted to be able to use smaller or more irregular pieces of fabric.
- And finally, I could show more or less of certain layers in my ornament, if I wanted to (because the pieces are longer than they are wide)..
Also, the technique I'll show you in this video uses one less pin per triangle than the traditional method used for these ornaments. In the Basic Star Pattern, that's 56 saved pins total (those pins add up!).

How do we join your program so that we can have access to your patterns. Linda Yates from Phoenix az
Hi Linda, we’re so glad you’re excited about joining! We don’t have our next club opening scheduled, but I can see you are on our wait list. We’ll be sure to send you an email as soon as we have more details.
what are the sizes of your material pieces
You fold the left side first. Is that because you might be left handed. Can I fold the right side down first?
I made my first ornament. It’s cute but not quite it. I was wondering do you wash your fabric first?
Hi Denise… no, I sure don’t. I hope you will try a second ornament… it can take a try or two to get it right. 🙂
Will I be able to download these workshops to view for my use anytime?
Kimmelly, no the videos aren’t downloadable, but you can save the link and access it here anytime.
I need to make a 6 pointed star and can’t seem to figure it out. Do you have any suggestions to assist me?
When you do the Basic Triangle Fold and slightly overlap one side over the other and use just 1 pin, the line created isn’t exactly straight. When you add the other layers, how do you keep them in a straight line if that centre line in the triangle isn’t straight?
Como posso aprender a fazer esses trabalhos lindos?
Hi Maria, if you haven’t started with our Basic Star Workshop, that would be the best place to begin! You can get that here: https://ornamentgirls.com/basic-star-workshop/
