Simple, Inexpensive, and Stunning!







Another super simple project. Beautiful Christmas tree decorations!

Products used: American Crafts paper (Prima flowers for the green ball- sprayed with olive, random buttons, dollar store stick pins, styro balls, tulle.

1. Take a 1" circle punch and punch out a bunch of circles
2. Take your stickpins and put them through the button and the circl and push into the styro ball. Repeat until covered. You will want to overlap slightly.
3. Then take your ribbon or Tulle and make a loop with a knot. Pin into the ball. You may want to put some glue onto the pin part before placing into the ball.

PLEASE NOTE: Now I never did find silver pins, I bought these at the dollar store, they were multi colored. What I did to color the pins was use a silver alcohol ink. I applied the ink to the ball of the pin - carefull do not squeeze it out, allow the ink to come to the tip of the bottle.

what a great idea to use the alcohol inks to the pins.
