I found this Christmas ball decoration and thought it would be an easy project to undertake … How wrong I was.
I like to give handmade Christmas decorations out as gifts at Christmas time and this looked like the one for 2014. I am happy how the ball turned out, but I lost count of how many hours it took me to thread a bead and a sequin on to a pin and then push it in to a foam ball.
Here is how I went about it …
-
- Materials.
-
- Thread bead and sequin on to pin.
-
- Push pin in to foam ball.
-
- Continue pushing pins in to foam ball.
-
- Keep going.
-
- And going.
The end result is awesome. I would like to make more, but just don’t think I have the time, we will see.
If you attempt this project, make sure you have at least a million pins. Try and get them from a cheap shop otherwise it will cost you a minor fortune. I went through a box and a bit of pins.
