What You Will Need

Instructions

  • Wrap twine around the Styrofoam ball as a guide.
  • Use the foam tool or a butter knife to score the foam beside the twine.
  • Remove twine and make score line deeper with the tool.
  • Repeat process to get three lines that go all the way around the ball and are approximately evenly spaced.
  • Lay plaid or burlap over one section that you have created. Stuff the fabric into the line a little all the way around.
  • Use scissors to trim fabric as close to ball as possible.
  • Stuff fabric into the line completely all the way around.
  • Repeat for all sections alternating between plaid and burlap.
  • Use twine and hot glue to cover up where all of the fabrics meet. This will also help to secure everything.
  • Use an additional piece of twine for a hanger at the top. Secure with hot glue.
  • The plaid and burlap ornaments are ready for your tree!
