Decorative Balls

Don't forget the Spooktacular Link party going on here until the end of this month.  Check it out here.

Remember these deco balls we made earlier, well I need more, but different ones.

Well they got lonely and I got creative. 

The moss ones were fun to make, but a bit messy.  These black ones were originally tan and I just spray painted them black.

These are the things I started with.  I got the wiffle balls, moss roll, and moss sheet from dollar tree and the jute I got from Hobby Lobby with my 40% off coupon, it was originally $2.99.  One of these jute rolls could probably make at least 16 of these deco balls if not more.  So for less than $4 you could make 4 of the moss deco balls and for less than $4 you could make about 16 or more jute covered deco balls.  Now I have seen these puppies go for well more than that amount just for 1.

You'll want to cut the sheet into squares, I got about 12 squares roughly around the same size from the sheet.  You then want to cup it into your hand so that it forms a curve that would fit against the ball.  Then hot glue it like crazy and press it against the ball.  You will use the moss roll to fill in all the spaces.  I used 3 squares on each ball, but you get the idea and can adapt to whatever you feel.

To make the jute deco balls I started with a big dot of glue and just coiled the jute around and around and around and yet around again until you get to the opposite end of the ball.

I originally saw this idea from House of Hepworths.  She has tons, I mean tons of cute decor stuff to check out.

And here they all are, one big happy family.
