Decoration Ball

Silver bling is what was needed to finish off my Valentine decor shelf, so I challenged myself to another round of what can we make with what's sitting around. You may get a good laugh over this decoration ball. Or should I say aluminum foil ball. :)

Decoration Ball

Supplies:
  • Aluminum foil
  • Styrofoam ball
  • Hot glue gun
1. Rip of a 4 inch piece of foil. Fold in thirds so the shiny side is out.



2. Twist until it's about a half inch wide. This part is so easy a three year old can do it.



3. Wrap the first piece of twisted foil into a spiral and glue to the top of your ball.
4. Continue gluing twisted pieces around your ball until you finish with another spiral on the other side.



I put mine on the shelf with a hot lips candle display because you know I can't pass up some good candy decor.



Pair that with wedding pics, a heart ball topiary and some love birds and you've got yourself a fun Valentine's display for about $5!
