I started out by sorting the triangles by color. Then I arranged them in the rainbow like color pattern pictured below.

Next I pinned them to the equator line of a 7cm diameter smooth foam ball.

Then I made another set of triangles like the in the first picture. I flipped them so the bottom was now the top. Then I pinned them in the pattern pictured below to the ball. The numbers and letters correspond to matching colors.

Once all my colored triangles were pinned my ornament looked like this from the top and bottom.

I then added 3 silver triangles to both the top and bottom of the ball. The triangles on the bottom are spaced closer together than the ones on the top.

Next I filled in the remaining empty spaces with clear iridescent glitter glue.

Last I added a silver and white bow to the top.

This was so easy to make and looks great on my tree.

I’m a part-time ESL teacher and June is always my busiest month. I don’t have time in June to work on big projects so instead I use the few free hours I have each day to make small kimekomi ornaments using scraps left over from other projects. They are quick and fun, each only taking between 1-2 hours to make. They are also my best sellers at Christmas craft fairs, so it’s important that I take time during the year to increase my stock. They are made the same way as a large size kimekomi using 4cm and 5cm diameter foam balls. I don’t use batting and I keep the design very simple.

Here are my latest little ornaments made from scraps.

These are perfect for small table top trees and make great gifts for coworkers and acquaintances.
