An easy to make Christmas Ball Craft for kids and which stunning on the tree.
Skill: Easy
Time: 20 minutes + glue drying time
What you Need.....
Polystyrene balls of different sizes
PVA glue
Glitter
Toothpick
Florist foam
Paper clip or thin wire
Colored ribbon or something to hang your bauble with
Stick a toothpick into one of the polystyrene balls so that you can hold it like a lollipop. Cover the ball with a thin layer of PVA glue.
Place some glitter on a plate and roll the ball in the glitter so that it is completely covered.
If you are feeling quite adventurous how about using 2 colors of glitter. To do this, place the glue on parts of the ball (for example in stripes) and then roll in one color of glitter. When dry, paint the glue on the remaining parts of the ball and then roll in the other colored glitter.
Stick the toothpick with the ball pointing upwards into some florists foam and leave the glue to dry. A couple of hours should be fine.
Uncurl a paper clip (or use the wire) and form it into a thin 'U' shape. Stick both ends of the 'U' into the top of the ball so that the curved end of the wire is just sticking out of the ball in a loop shape.
Thread a piece of colored ribbon through the wire loop, tie a bow and hang on the tree.
