Decorative Yarn Balls

Kids and myself have had so much fun to make yarn balls during the school vacation. 

It's surely "messy" project but the result(!) is surely nice!

you need:

• balloons 
• Vaseline or  other fatty cream 
• yarn of your choice
• glue (we used school glue)
• niddle

1. blow the balloons in a size you want the "balls" to be and spread the Vaseline over it

 

 thread a needle using the yarn of your choice and pass it trough the glue bottle. 

wrap the glued yarn around the balloon tightly and let stay for a day (or 15 to 24 hours) to dry

on the next day the yarn should be stiff and hard.

And it's time to pop the balloon! 

with a fast move pop the balloon with a needle 

(let the kids do it, they love it!)

Decorative Yarn Balls are ready!
