I don’t usually decorate much for St. Patrick’s Day but after making the shamrock banners, I wanted to add a little more color to my house. Isn’t it nice to see a little green when it’s so snowy and dreary outside?
I ran across these cute fabric balls on Pinterest and decided they’d be perfect for my dining room table. Bonus points: this is a ridiculously easy project. Seriously, it took me 15 minutes, tops.
I used a package of 6 styrofoam balls and some fat quarters of green fabric. I cut the fabrics on the bias for a little extra stretch and experimented with the width of the strips. 5/8″ seemed to work best, so that’s what I went with. I anchored each strip with a pin, wrapped until I ran out of fabric then added another one. I overlapped the strips to hide all the pins except the last one.
I love how they turned out! The only problem is, I need more to fill up the bowl I want to use on my dining room table. Back to Hobby Lobby tomorrow for more styrofoam balls!
These are just precious! Can’t wait to try and make some for my Christmas tree. Will send you some pics if they turn out okay. Thanks so much!
I’d love to see them! I was just thinking I need to make some black and orange ones for Halloween.
