Sharing is caring!

Well hello again! I feel like it’s been forever since I’ve posted anything due to my time at the Snap Conference. But now I’m back and completely recharged and ready to show you guys some fun new projects, like this one… Burlap and Twine Wrapped Foam Balls!

burlap and twine wrapped foam ballsIn my swag bag from Snap I received a multi-pack of foam balls and knew exactly what I wanted to make as soon as I spotted them. I grabbed the rest of my supplies:

  • Burlap (I used two different colors)
  • Twine
  • Greenery pins
  • Scissors
  • Wire basket (I found mine from Micheal’s)

burlap and twine wrapped ballsThe burlap I had on-hand was about 3 inches wide. Since this project is easier to complete with thinner pieces, I trimmed the burlap in half with a pair of scissors.

I varied how much twine I wrapped around each ball, and then did some mini balls wrapped only in twine. And here’s the final result…

    Perfect timing – I have a small wire basket just sitting on a shelf looking so plain and sad. I was trying to think of something to put in it. I love this – quick and easy! Thanks!
