This craft is really easy and really fun. You can give these as gifts or you can make them for yourself (not at all saying that would make you selfish, to keep them ALL to yourself because they are that cute). You could give them to others for Christmas each year and start a nice little tradition ( or you can keep them ALL to yourself 🙂 HAHA
INGREDIENTS:
~ Styrofoam Balls
~ Sequins
~Hooks (to hang them with)
~Strait Pins
~thanks P for being my hand model
First thing you will do is arrange your sequins on the strait pin according to your taste. I decided to use red, green and gold!
I figured I would do the original Christmas colors, or at-least what makes me feel all warm and cozy inside~
After you attach your sequins, you will gently stick it into the styrofoam ball.
Remember, you do NOT have to stick them into the ball in a certain order, unless you want to.
When the ball is finished you will get out your hooks and stick it where you want. You might have to remove ONE sequined pin to give the hook it’s own special home!
See just how beautiful these little balls of fire are!!! I personally would LOVE to get some like this for Christmas! Wouldn’t you?!?!?!?!
(Maybe I will keep just this one)
You can also add other things that interest you. I LOVE gold!!
As you can see below, I used some gold tacks to put the letter “j” in my ball.
I wanted to add this one in here to show you that you can JUST use glitter if you want to.
First thing you will do is spray the entire ball with spray adhesive. Then just sprinkle whatever color glitter you like. I used baby blue and brown. When I was done I added a little splash by sticking pins with a yellow tip in it.
So are you already in your car going get your ingredients!!! I can’t wait to see what you create:)
Seriously cleaning my studio all over again (haha), jaderbomb
