How to make a DIY Buffalo Plaid Christmas ornament

For this ornament I used a child’s plaid shirt with a small scale plaid pattern, but plaid fabric would also work well. This black and white buffalo plaid ribbon  would also be perfect for this. (Michaels also has some similar ribbon right now but it is selling out fast so if you want some you’d better grab it!)

This plaid has squares that are 1/2 inch in size and the wreath form is six inches in diameter.

The first step is cutting your fabric pieces into uniform strips.

Wrap each strip around the wreath form, pinning it in place as you go.

If you are using ribbon, you wont’ need to cut it into strips first, you can simply start wrapping it around your wreath, pinning it in place as you go.

Once the ornament is fully covered, you can attach whatever decoration you want.

For this ornament I used a few small pinecones and pine branches.

I attached the pine cones and branches using a hot glue gun. 

I finished the ornament off with a piece of black and white Baker’s twine for hanging.

This makes a sweet ornament for the tree, but it is also adorable used as a mini wreath to hang on the back of your dining chairs, on a small mirror, or anywhere else you want to add a touch of subtle Christmas cheer.
