Dont have a bannister to hang these on...
...so I hung these in a doorframe with pushpins...you can see one of the vintage ornaments (with the rickrack)in the back
Covering a cone shape is more of a challenge especially at the narrow end....try to angle the pins so they dont stick out the other side!
Got started on this ornament project in the summer...

Inspired by some old fabric-covered styrofoam ball ornaments that have been in my family for years....I scrounged through my bag of fabric scraps and ribbons....Easy project, no sewing,no gluing, just place and pin!  The colorful silks are from a child's kimono vintage 1960's...a flea market find...  The silk is great because it stretches and is very forgiving on curves.  While I was at it I updated the faded and frayed ribbons on the original ornaments too.  Perfect way to use up bits and pieces of ribbon and fabric too pretty to throw  away...
