Ok, I know I’m totally on a decor ball kick lately (and don’t you worry, I still have more where this all came from) HAHA!!

I don’t know what it is, I just think there are so many looks you can create with a styrofoam ball, ya know!

So… I tried it with felt this time.  And I feel so bad, I saw a similar technique on someone’s blog (to the one I’m using today), only on the blog, the person  made hair flowers.  I don’t remember where!!  Help me out if you know, so I can give credit where it’s due!

Supplies:

• Stryrofoam balls (the size depends on the look you’re going for), I used a 5 in floral foam ball.

• about 3/4 yard felt (for one ball)

• straight pins

• cutting mat and rotary cutter or scissors

• Circle template or a glass

• fabric pencil

• a roll of tape

Step 1:

Trace your template onto the felt. 

Cut around the circle.  I kept one circle free, and used it over and over to cut lots and lots of circles. 

Fold up your felt a couple of times to cut more and save time.  I wish I had counted all the circles, I’m guessing around 80 or so…

Step 2:  Next you will fold your circle in half. 

Then in half again.

Step 3:  Take a straight pin and insert it in the bottom of the fold holding it all together. 

Then using the same pin, poke it securely into the stryrofoam ball, at an angle so it will stand up.  Place the ball on a roll of tape to keep it from rolling all around.

I had a little helper doing this part for me, while I continued to cut the circles.  (This is such an easy fun craft to do with your kids!)

Continue with all your circles, filling in the gaps with more folded circles. 

That’s it!!

I can’t wait to make some more in spring colors!!  Or maybe I just can’t wait for spring:)
