Hey guys, here's a simple ornament idea.
I made yarn ball ornaments
using scratch paper and extra yarn.
I made ornaments using this grey yarn
to match these beanie ornaments.
You can try this out this out with different colors
and in different sizes.
First, I crumpled up a piece of scratch paper.
Then, form a ball.
Next, I covered it with another crumpled piece of paper.
You can add more to form a bigger ball.
Then, form a loop with a piece of string.
I glued the edge of the paper down,
but that’s not really necessary.
Glue the loop to the top of the ball.
Then, wrap the ball with yarn.
Gradually turn it to cover the paper.
At the end, pick a piece of yarn
that isn’t on the top layer and make a knot.
Then, tuck in the end.
I also made them with extra white yarn
and this raffia-like/straw that I had.
This was the leftover string that I had
from the hat I unraveled
and made a crocheted crossbody bag with.
I used white yarn first
because I didn’t think I would have enough of this straw.
I repeated this with the other color
and here’s how they turned out.
