DIY: Modern Festive Ornaments
You will need: • Balls of yarn • Fork • Scissors • Craft glue • Cardboard • Acrylic paint • Paint brush • Clear baubles (You should be able to nd these at a craft shop or variety store!) • Paint pens • Styrofoam ball • Matches or toothpicks • Sequins • Pins (Make sure you get some with big enough heads so they don’t fall through the sequins!) Pom Pom Garland: 1. Wrap the wool around your fork, keeping it as tight as possible and tie a knot in the middle. 2. Cut each side down the middle and you have a pom pom! You will need to give them a little haircut to even out the sides 3. Repeat steps 1-3 until you have enough pom poms to fill your garland! Glue them all to a long piece of yarn. Cardboard Ornaments: 1. Cut some groovy shapes out of cardboard. 2. Paint your shapes! 3. Glue them together and glue a piece of yarn on as a hanger. Make some friends for your ornament! Sun Tree Topper: 1. Poke your matchsticks into your styrofoam ball around the circumference. 2. Stick the pins through the sequins. 3. Repeat step 2 a million times until your sun looks like this!
