Over Christmas break, I decided to do a small DIY project. I wanted to try and make these decorative yarn balls that I saw at Pier One. So I bought some Styrofoam balls, twine and pistachio green spray paint. Here is what I did...

Materials I used...

After super gluing the start of the twine onto the ball, I continued to wrap it around in different ways until it covered the ball.

Drake spray painted three of them. It wasn't the exact green I was looking for but oh well. We were going to paint some green and some red for Christmas but I never got around to painting them until after the holidays. I put them in a basket for now and they are on my new shelf. I might get a big glass vase and stick them in to see what they would look like. It was inexpensive and easy to do!
