Mystery Ornament Challenge

In this video, I take on my very first mystery ornament challenge — randomly choosing the design and colors for a handmade fabric ornament! The results? A stunning Four Division Reflection Ornament in gold, black, and purple (total Evil Queen vibes 👑).

Follow along as I mark, cut, tuck, and decorate an 8cm foam ball using only materials from my stash — no new supplies allowed! You’ll see how to draw the lines on the ball, work with tricky fabrics, and add gorgeous finishing touches like ribbons, sequins, and bows.
