Twine balls

 

{Easy homemade twine balls}

Originally, I tried making these at Christmas....and they failed....miserably!  I had pile of limpy, mushy string......so when I saw that my friend Alison made some over at Stuff and Nonsense, I thought that I might try it again.......because my Goodwill Fruitstand was now sitting empty!

So I gathered my materials....

First, blow up your balloons.....now as simple as this seems, let me just share a piece of advice....you probably want to measure the size of your balloon at this point in your container....I made mine WAY too big....grr!

I tied my string around the knot of the balloon to keep the string from coming undone and unravelling while I wrapped....

You can paint a little bit of mod podge on the bottom of the balloon as well to keep the string in place....

Wrap your string in whatever design around your balloon.....

Now if I were doing this again, I might paint the string with mod podge before I wrap it around the balloon....

Do you see all the glue in-between the strings???



Well, it dries there....I'm still picking it out!  Let them dry over night.

......I know....I still need to pick out more glue.......
