    How to Make Felt Ball Ornaments for the Christmas Tree

    Step 1. Gather Supplies

    Supplies Needed:

    • Felt Balls
    • Eye Screw Loops
    • Superglue
    • Twine
    • Scissors

    Supplies needed to make Felt Ball Ornaments for the Christmas Tree.

    Step 2. Screw an eye loop screw into a felt ball.

    Since the felt balls are squishy, you have to push hard and screw/twist the loop in as you push.

    Add screw loop to the top of the felt ball.

    Keep twisting until the eye screw goes as far into the felt ball as possible.

    Add screw loop to the top of the felt ball.

    Step 3. Add a small dab of superglue where the screw goes into the felt ball.

    This will help prevent the eye screw from coming out of the felt ball.

    Add a dab of super glue to the top of the ball to secure it.

    Step 4. Repeat for as many ornaments as you want to make

    Step 5. Cut twine into hanging strings.

    String twine through the loop screwed into the top of each felt ball.

    Step 6. Thread a piece of twine through the eye screw, and tie a knot near the top.

    This is your hanging string to hang the ornament on a tree!

    String twine through the loop screwed into the top of each felt ball.

    Repeat for all of the felt balls.

    String twine through the loop screwed into the top of each felt ball.

    The felt ornaments are finished!

    They are simple yet gorgeous.
