Tutorial: Soft fabric ball Christmas tree ornament

Decorating a Christmas tree with small children (or in my case, several bad cats) in the house can be a challenge. So many of the decorations are breakable! Melanie from The Littlest Studio shows how you can make soft fabric ball Christmas ornaments. The ball shape is a nod to a traditional Christmas tree ornament, but the soft fabric makes them safe around small hands. You can make them from any type of fabric and dress them up with fancy trims.
