Christmas balls - Arts, Crafts and DIY

Material

1 round foam ball
20 pieces of cardboards
1 20 cm string

Method

Using a hole punch cut different colour cardboard out.
Then starting from the top stick the circles from top to bottom.
Then add the string.

Notes

I love making craft and I always had lots of little pieces of cardboard left over I didn't want to throw out so I found this idea. My kids and I make heaps of these with all the left over pieces and it looks very effective on our christmas tree.

Want other brilliant projects sent to you?

  You could actually make a whole string with these balls for BD decorations as well

These look perfect for the Christmas tree. Loved spending time with my kids making things. We used to make lanterns in different colours and hang them on tinsel across the lounge room ceiling. These sort of creations makes Christmas that much more personal. Love it

This would look amazing with old Christmas cards to give it a more unique and festive look!

This is one of the best decorations I have seen for a long time. The children will adore making their individual ornaments for the tree.
