Supplies for one ball: (I would make a bunch and hang them up at different levels…so pretty!)

1 piece 12 by 12 sparkly paper

2 paper fasteners or brads (I found these large sparkle ones at Michael’s)

scissors or rolling cutter

ruler or straight edge

hole punch

thread for hanging

Directions:

cut 8 strips of that are about 1 inch (easiest to do with a ruler and rolling cutter)

punch a hole in the top and bottom on the strip of paper

use a fastener to gather the top

use a fastener to gather the bottom

Fan strips out to create a ball shape

attach some fishing line or thin string to hang from the ceiling or light

 

I think the glitter scrapbook paper makes a perfect sparkle for New Years….but you could really do this for any occasion. I found the that heavier cardstock works better than the thinner paper…just something to keep in mind….

I hope you can come by and see me at CleverlyInspired…..I would love to share some more clever ideas with you:)
