Materials:
Polyfoam Ball - 100mm
Felt - Maybe 10/15 sheets
Dressmaking Pins
Scissors
Circle to trace
Pen
Ribbon (optional)
Start by cutting out circles approx 5 cm, You can do what ever you like, but I would suggest that you try to use all of the felt sheet.
I didn't count how many I cut out. But it is a lot. I used about 15 sheets of felt. ( Lucky they were on sale)
Step 2:
Fold in half
Step 3:
Fold it over again
Should look like this
Put the pin through the bottom on the peak.
Then pin onto the ball
Should look like this
Step 6:
Keep on going around the ball. Pin in different directions.
Then you should have a pretty ball.
You can attach a ribbon to the top to hang the ball from a mantle piece.
Multi coloured would look cute too.
I use mine as a centre piece on the dinner table.
Have Fun

I love this idea! They look like they'd hold up a lot better than some of the paper flower balls! I will have to try this :) thanks for sharing!

ReplyDeleteThese flower balls are awesome! I have been trying to find two balls in a color to match my craft room and haven't been able to find anything. Now I can make my own! Thanks!
