How to Get Started with Ornament Girls

Ornament Girls is a site for people who make handmade Christmas ornaments, and the fastest way in is through its free offerings rather than a paid membership. The homepage presents a "Get Started Below..." area that points to four things you can act on right away: a free no-sew ornament workshop, a free Moonlight eBook, a pattern library, and information about the Ornament Girls Club. If you are not a member yet, the site tells you so directly and offers a "Learn more HERE" link for club details. Start with the free workshop and eBook if you are new; look into the Club or the Certified Instructor Program only once you know you want more structure.

The free starting points

The homepage groups its entry points under a "Get Started Below..." heading. These are the options that do not require you to already be a member:

• FREE No-Sew Ornament Workshop — described as teaching you "how to make a PERFECT no-sew ornament, from start to finish," with a sign-up link and the note that it is free.
• Your FREE eBook — the page states this is where you access the free Moonlight eBook.
• Your Pattern Library — described as the place to "access all of your patterns here."
• The Christmas Club — a separate offering with its own "CLICK HERE for more info" link.

Signing up for the no-sew workshop

The workshop is the most concrete first step because it is a guided, start-to-finish lesson. To use it:

1. Find the "FREE No-Sew Ornament Workshop" block in the "Get Started Below..." area of the homepage.
2. Follow its sign-up link to register.
3. Complete the workshop to learn the no-sew method from beginning to end.

The expected result is that you can produce a finished no-sew ornament on your own. The site frames this as the way to make a "PERFECT" one, so treat it as the foundational lesson before moving to patterns.

Getting the free Moonlight eBook

The "Your FREE eBook" block is labeled as the access point for the free Moonlight eBook. Use that block to reach the download or access page. Because the site presents it as a free eBook tied to your access, expect to go through whatever sign-up or login step the link leads to before you can open it.

Membership and the pattern library

Two items on the homepage are tied to being a member:

• The Ornament Girls Club — the page notes, "It looks like you aren't a member yet!" and directs you to "Learn more HERE" for membership information. Use that link to see what the Club includes before deciding.
• Your Pattern Library — the page describes it as where you "access all of your patterns." If the library is gated behind membership, the Club's "Learn more" page is where you would confirm access terms.

If you are not a member, the practical order is: use the free workshop and free eBook first, then read the Club information to decide whether the pattern library and other member benefits are worth joining for.

If you want to teach

The homepage also lists a Certified Instructor Program, with a "Click HERE" link to sign up for more information. This is aimed at people who want to teach ornament-making rather than just make ornaments themselves. Request the information first so you understand the requirements before committing.

A sensible order of operations

Common snags

• Assuming everything is open. The homepage explicitly says you may not be a member yet, and the pattern library is listed alongside member content. Check the Club page before expecting full library access.
• Skipping the workshop. It is the only resource described as teaching a complete ornament from start to finish, so it is the natural first move for a beginner.
• Confusing the Christmas Club with the Ornament Girls Club. They appear as separate blocks with separate links; follow the one that matches what you actually want.
