i actually NEEDED this one....i felt the twine ball was unbalanced because it was the only one with the holes....so i whipped up another one!
i mixed one part flour to two part water...
and threw in my string...(I would wrap it in a ball first then soak it....then pull it out and wrap it around the balloon...running it through your fingers to get the extra goop off....)
then i put it outside to hurry the drying process! (I made a pinata for my son's birthday in nov....took 3 days to dry!)
and please ignore the big giant
don't judge.
before i popped the balloon...i pushed it in all around to help break off all the white stuff....
then i deflated the balloon....(do this over the garbage...all the flour flakes come off)
i shot it with some white spray paint
run a string and hang...
i'm so close to being done...it's killing me softly.
I love this little series of lantern/pom projects. Seriously inspiring!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's giving me a little more motivation to start making one for our nursery :)
I love this! I have been wanting to use some yarn balls for a project I'm working on, but I've been waffling because I had heard they aren't as steady as they look. What do you think? Are they good and steady?
ReplyDeleteYou're awesome! Thanks for sharing all these great balls. I'm loving them!
I REALLY like this one :)
