Fabric Covered Orbs

Last Christmas time I saw this post about fabric wrapped ornaments on Under The Table and Dreaming. I thought it would be a great project to help decorate up my lving room.

I got a bunch of styrofoam balls that were my Grandmother's over Thanksgiving and I used the leftover fabric from my Roman Shades as a starting off point for color inspiration. I really like how they turned out. I think they kind of look like round Easter Eggs :).

I love the way they look in my chicken wire basket I got at Hobby Lobby!

It was a pretty easy project that didn't take very long (once I started)!  I used my rotary cutter to cut the strips instead of tearing them. I also used 4 different size of styrofoam balls.

Here is the lengths I cut for each size ball

4" ball- 12 1/2" strips (3/4"-1" wide)

3" ball- 10 1/4" strips (3/4"-1" wide)

2" ball- 8 1/4" strips (3/4" wide)

1 1/2" ball- 6 1/2" strips (3/4" wide)

Place the first piece down with straight pins.

Then cover up each set of straight pins until no styrofoam is showing.

I will be linking up with some of These Parties!

Thanks for stopping by!
