Christmas Decorations

By Cassie

These cute Christmas Decorations are quick and easy to do. Our store manager taught me how to create these and I haven't stopped making them since. They were very popular at our Christmas VIP night this year with lots of shoppers coming back in our store to ask me questions days later.The best thing about these decorations is that you can create them in any colour you want they will suit any year. Have try yourself and Enjoy.

Final Result

Materials

1 x pk of Bounce Balls (Ensure there is no cracks in the rubber)
1 x pkLong or Extra Long Dress Makers Pins
1 x pk Craft ribbon 2-3mm thick (in the colour of you choice)
1 x pk Round sequins
1 x pk Star sequins
1 x pk Bugle beads
1 x pkSeed beeds
(All the Sequins, stars and bead are in the colour of you choice)

Step 1

Take one pin, place a seed bead on the pin first followed by a star. Then add two bugle beads and another star. Lastly add another bugle bead and the round sequin.

Step 2

Push pin into bouce ball untill the pin in secured in the ball. Then repeat step one.

Step 3

Continue to repeat step one and place the pins one after the other (slightly overlaping the last sequin on the ball) until you have completely gone around the ball in a single circle.

Step 4

When you make your way around you will get back to the first pin and there will be a gap which is not big enough for a another pin. This is where you place your ribbon. Taking 25cm of ribbon fold it in half at the bottom and using another full pin push the pin and ribbon together into the ball. Dont panic if you can still see the ribbon. This will be hidden very soon. :-)

Step 5

Now that you have gone one way around the ball. you need to go the opposite way. Using Step one place pins around the ball to create four quarter like gaps around the sides of the ball.

Step 6

Now all you have to do is fill in those gaps to complete you ball.

Step 7

Place it on your Christmas tree and watch it shine. Merry Christmas!!!
