twine balls

leapard balls
oreo balls

and now

twine balls

it would seem
i can't get away from

balls

a couple of weeks ago
on fridays unfolded
a great idea was submitted by
crysta from homemaker in heels
for making

twine balls


it looked easy

it looked fun

it looked pretty when all done

so i thought

why not?

(can you tell
we've been reading a fair amount of
dr. seuss around here lately?)

disclaimer:
since i was too lazy to look up the directions
i did this project a little differently than crysta's directions

i wrapped the balloons in twine and then covered them with
decoupage material
her way is better, so don't be lazy like me

got my materials together
















started wrapping
















got some help from little miss





















and now i have my very own

twine balls
















if you visit homemaker in heels
to get directions for making your own twine balls
be sure to tell her i sent you

  2. Those are great! They always seem kind of pricey at the store so this is a great alternative. I'm so sorry I missed the party on Friday! We were out of town and I'm just now catching up but I will definitely be joining in the fun this week and I'm off to get some great ideas from the folks who participated in this last one! :-)

  3. I'd love to make these. They look so cool...but I can't find those pesky round balloons anywhere. Grrr.

    I'll have to content myself with drooling over yours!!

  4. sarah...my balloons weren't really round...we just pulled the twine around them to make the shapes more roundish...
