It’s almost Christmas! Well, ok we about 2 more months. But since Target is already discounting Halloween items and stacking shelves with Christmas decor, why have a DIY winter decor blog post ?! Here’s how to make your own hanging snowball backdrop for photos or dessert bar!
Materials Needed:
-
styrofoam balls (various sizes)
-
1 bag of cotton balls
-
all purpose glue
-
clear or white thread (for hanging) – not pictured
-
pins (for hanging) – not pictured
Materials
Step 1: Unroll the cotton balls
Step 2: Strech the unrolled cotton ball, almost like creating a spider web decor
Step 3: Generously cover styrofoam ball using the streched cotton.
Step 4: Continue covering styrofoam ball with cotton. (TIP: It will take about 15-20 cotton balls per 4" styrofoam ball).
Step 5: Ta-Da! To hang the snowballs, insert 1 pin into top of snowball and tie string around pin. Cut string at various lengths for hanging.
