#10 - Yarn Ornaments

12 Days of Homemade Ornaments.

Yarn Wrapped Balls...

My Mom had foot surgery and had to stay put for a while. One day while I was visiting, she helped me make these ornaments. We had so much fun with this project. These ornaments will always be special to me.

For this project you will need: yarn, scissors, styrofoam balls, twine, glue gun, and spray adhesive (not shown).
(This picture is definitely upside down.)

Insert and hot glue a loop of yarn into the styrofoam ball.

I sprayed the ball with adhesive and carefully wrapped the yarn all around the ball. The adhesive helps to hold the yard in place so you can get started and keep wrapping it until it's nice and full. I warn you, this is not as easy as it sounds. You have to keep the yarn wrapped tightly around the ball and evenly spaced.

Even though this project was challenging,
I LOVE these! In a bowl, on the table....
or hanging in a row.

  4. Hi Sherry, I just love the yarn ornaments and how wonderful they look filled in a bowl. I know it's nice easy to do as sometime I wind my yarn while crocheting and it is a challenge to keep nice and round.
    Love your color combo. Hope your mom feels better soon and has a prompt recovery.
    Hugs and have a great weekend.

  5. Cute! Cute! Cute! I didn't see the styrofoam at first and I was thinking how long it must have taken to get the ball. Much better. I'm gonna be looking for me some yarn.

  11. These are really pretty. Love how they look in the bowls (and your various bowl ideas, too). Yes, my cat would love these, but It would be worth it to make a few extra for him to play with. Pinned!
