Smallfoot Glass Ornament Balls DIY Steps 1-4
Step 1: Cut a strip of faux fabric with the scissors and glue to the glass ornament balls. Then, starting at the top, go all the way around to the top again. It is important to make sure faux fur strip is secure.
Step 2: Now, cut another faux fur strip and glue this strip the opposite way around the middle, perpendicular to the previous strip of fur.
Step 3: Next, it’s time to fill in the gaps. Continue gluing strips of the faux fur until the entire Smallfoot ornament has been covered, but that you can still access the hook on the top.
Step 4: To make the horns, cut two small pieces of pipe cleaner. They can be any color because you will cover them. Next, cut two narrow strips of blue felt.

Step 5: Squeeze some glue onto the pipe cleaner. Then, start at one end and wind the piece of felt over the pipe cleaner completely covering it. Glue the ends to secure and let them dry.
Step 6: Once they are ready, bend the pipe cleaners into the desired angle and glue them to the top side of the head of the Smallfoot yeti ornament. Migo’s always seem a bit cockeyed, so we made them look that way, but you can position them as you wish.
Note: Be sure the keep the ornament hook at the top!
Step 7: Glue on the pair of googly eyes with the fabric glue and you will start to really “see” your Smallfoot ornament come to life.
Step 8: Cut a pair of eyebrows out of the blue felt and then glue them on above the eyes.

Step 9: Now it’s time for the fun part! Using scissors, cut a mouth out of pink felt. Next, cut a larger mouth out of blue felt and cut out the middle so that the pink mouth fits inside of the blue lips. Finally, cut teeth out of the white felt. Two of them should be longer and more fang-like.
Step 10: Glue the lips onto the mouth and glue the teeth inside of the lips. The two fang-like teeth are bottom teeth and hang over the top lip as shown below. Let it dry.
Step 11: To make your Smallfoot ornament face complete, glue the mouth onto the glass ornament balls.
Step 12: Finally, to finish off your Smallfoot movie ornament, cut a piece of ribbon, thread it through the ornament hook and knot the top so it is ready to hang.
That’s it! Now you have made adorable glass ornament balls to represent the main characters in the Smallfoot movie. These yeti ornaments are sure to bring some personality to your Christmas tree this holiday season and are the perfect Christmas gift for a Smallfoot movie fan.
