Step-by-Step Drawing Guide

Step 1: Draw the Top Loop and Main Ornament Shape

Start with a round loop at the top of the ornament. Then draw a wide rounded rectangle below it, using three small curves to make a soft wavy bottom edge.

Pro Tip: Keep the loop centered above the body so the ornament looks balanced.

Step 2: Draw the Round Ornament Body

From both sides of the top cap, draw a large curved outline outward. Bring the line around the bottom and back up to form the big round body of the ornament.

Pro Tip: Move your wrist slowly while drawing the circle so both sides stay similar.

Step 3: Add the Center Oval Decoration

Draw a horizontal oval in the middle of the ornament body. Keep it centered, creating a base area for the next decorative details.

Pro Tip: Keep both ends of the oval smooth, with gentle curves along the top and bottom.

Step 4: Draw the Star Inside the Oval

Draw a five-point star inside the center oval as the main decoration of the ornament. Keep each point softly rounded, and leave space between the star and the oval edge.

Pro Tip: Lightly mark the star’s top point and side points first to help keep it centered.

Step 5: Add the Lower Decorative Band

Draw a gently curved horizontal line across the lower part of the ornament. Then add a wavy line below it to create a wide decorative band.

Pro Tip: Let both lines follow the curve of the round outline so the band feels natural.

Step 6: Finish the Lower Edge and Add a Highlight

Draw a curved lower edge beneath the wavy band to complete the decoration. Then add a short curved line near the upper left to show a shiny highlight on the ornament.

Pro Tip: Keep the highlight short, and curve it gently with the round shape.
