What kinds of ornament-making resources does Ornament Girls offer?

Updated

Ornament Girls (ornamentgirls.com) offers a mix of free and member-based resources for making handmade ornaments, including a free no-sew ornament workshop, a free Moonlight eBook, a pattern library, two clubs (the Ornament Girls Club and the Christmas Club), and a Certified Instructor Program. The site's own homepage lists these as separate entry points, and some are explicitly marked free while others are tied to membership — so what you can actually open depends on whether you're a member.

The resources listed on the site

The homepage presents these as distinct offerings:

Resource What it appears to be Access signal on the page
Ornament Girls Club The main membership area Page states "It looks like you aren't a member yet!" with a "Learn more HERE" link
Christmas Club A seasonal club "CLICK HERE for more info"
Pattern Library A collection of ornament patterns Described as "Access all of your patterns here"
No-Sew Ornament Workshop A step-by-step workshop for a no-sew ornament Marked "(It's FREE!)" with a sign-up link
FREE eBook A downloadable eBook titled "Moonlight" Described as "Here's where you can access your free Moonlight eBook"
Certified Instructor Program A program to become a certified instructor "Click HERE to sign up for more information"

How these map to different stages of ornament-making

The resources aren't all aimed at the same person:

  • Just starting out: The free no-sew ornament workshop is the clearest entry point — it's framed as teaching you to make "a PERFECT no-sew ornament, from start to finish," and the page labels it free with a sign-up.
  • Wanting a taste of the style: The free Moonlight eBook is a standalone download, useful if you want to see the kind of designs the site produces before committing to anything.
  • Already making ornaments and wanting more designs: The Pattern Library is described as the place to "access all of your patterns," which suggests it's a returning-user area rather than a first stop.
  • Wanting ongoing or seasonal content: The Ornament Girls Club and the Christmas Club are the two club offerings. The homepage's wording around the Ornament Girls Club ("you aren't a member yet") implies membership is required for that area.
  • Wanting to teach or sell: The Certified Instructor Program is a separate track, with the page directing you to sign up for more information rather than describing the program itself.

Free vs. member access

Two items are explicitly labeled free on the page: the no-sew ornament workshop and the Moonlight eBook. The Ornament Girls Club is explicitly framed around membership, since the page addresses non-members directly. For the Christmas Club, the Pattern Library, and the Certified Instructor Program, the homepage only provides links and short labels — it doesn't state on this page whether they're free, paid, or member-only.

Because the page doesn't list prices or payment details, don't assume any of the unlabeled resources are free. Treat the access conditions as something to confirm on each linked page.

Before you sign up for anything

  • Check whether a resource requires club membership before you invest time in it — the Pattern Library in particular reads like a member area.
  • The free workshop and eBook are the lowest-commitment way to judge whether the site's style and teaching approach suit you.
  • If you're interested in the Certified Instructor Program, note that the homepage only offers a sign-up for more information, so the actual requirements aren't described there.
  • Details, availability, and access terms can change; verify current conditions on the site itself rather than relying on this summary.
