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:
Here she is being her pretty little self. :)
Making an ornament
This is one I did about 12 years ago and it is still around!

I remember making some of those MORE than 12 years ago and I think they still hang on my mother's tree! They are easy. Thanks for the reminder.
