A Christmas Craft ANYBODY Can Do

Here is a really fun craft that is EASY, NON MESSY and the kids get near instant gratification for trying it!

Christmas Balls

Styrofoam Balls (any size but not too small)
popsicle sticks
any scrap material, not too heavy (prefer calico type)
scissors
christmas hooks

That is ALL!

You take the material and cut it into small pieces, no particular shape
but not too tiny. Place the material on the ball and press in the edges with
the popsicle stick. Not too hard, or it could crack the ball in half.
(show little boys how)

Pick different materials, or all the same.
When you cover the ball with material pressed in well,
find a place to press in your hook.

If you prefer a ribbon, just use hot glue to glue it into a crack somewhere on the ball.

Here are some pictures of Erika making balls:
