Twine. I love twine. I have loads of twine. I am a twine addict.
And so I made these... decorative twine balls
And so I made these... decorative twine balls
Balloons, twine, PVA glue, paper clips and the garage washing line...
Oh and I forgot, patience too!
I applied the glue bit by bit. I found this the less messiest way.
As I wrapped the twine around the balloon, I wasn't convinced it would work, but I carried on regardless - hopeful that I would be proven wrong.
I was allowed access to my husband's garage (!) to hang them to dry, using the pegs to stop them sliding down the line.
I left them overnight and after bursting the balloons and pulling them out of the twine...
Voilà!

Those came out really nice.

This looks so cool. I always see those balls in the store but never want to pay for them. Now I can make my own!
I've seen those, too, but had no idea how to make them! They turned out really nice, I love the pic of them hanging with the balloons inside! Nice work, thanks for sharing!
I love how these look! And this is so much better than paying $20 each at the store!
They turned out great! Megan

love these! I am lame and would have never thought to use balloons and make them hollow. I would have wrapped a Styrofoam ball instead. Genius! Also-the way you dried them were super smart as well. I pretty much think that you are Einstein in the craft world.Pinning
Have a happy weekend!

Love this! We sell similar at work but I never want to spend that kind of money on 'balls'. Now you've shown how to do it so easily and inexpensive!!
Thanks for the tutorial!
