decorated tops at SAVERS 2 for $1. I bought
6 of them :)
THEN, I searched my cabinets to figure
out what ingredients I had
FINALLY, I assembled to jars and created tags :)

Decorative Styrofoam Balls
Decorative Styrofoam Balls
YOU NEED:
-Styrofoam ball (MICHAELS CRAFT STORE)
-Glue Gun
-Hemp String
- Burlap
- Newspaper
and, LOTS OF TIME & PATIENCE
NEWSPAPER DIRECTIONS:
-Tear little pieces of tea-stained
news paper
-Hot glue each individual
ripped piece onto styrofoam ball
- after THREE NIGHTS of tearing
and gluing, I finally finished. It was
totally worth the time : )
HEMP STRING:
Fairly simple, start your hemp string on one
side finding your way around the styrofoam ball
lining each row closely to the previous
BURLAP:
- Cut strips of burlap
- glue to the ball facing the same direction
- To cover the top of the ball where there is extra strip,
simply use burlap strips to make "flower petal" shapes and
hot glue to the top.
- Finish with a rolled piece of burlap as the middle of the burlap flower
(sorry for the lack of pictures!! )
