D-I-Y: Loopy Christmas Balls
Time Required:
~ 20 mins
What you’ll need:
Paper (I printed off double-sided sheet music from the internet)
Ruler
Scissors
Pencil
Styrofoam ball (I used about 1.5” balls)
Dressmaker’s pins
Cut strips of paper.
Using the ruler and pencil, mark cutting lines if needed (I did)
Erase any visible pencil markings
Cut the strips into about 3” sections
Pin the bottom loop onto the styrofoam ball
Pin folded strips to the styrofoam ball
Once finished, you can fill in any gaps with smaller paper loops.
Pin (and/or glue) ribbon to the top of the ornament
I used narrower paper strips (3/8”) for this tutorial, and thicker strips on my first trial that was photographed on spruce tree (1/2” first pic). I think the thicker strips worked better (& looks better).
Thanks for reading!
