Lay 50 Balls On Red Fabric...(WOW)

Turn some ordinary ball pit balls into the perfect holiday decor. For this project, I'm also going to use this gorgeous red fabric that I found at the thrift store. I'm going to put a little snip in the fabric so that I know how wide I need the fabric strips to be. Now that I know how long I need the fabric, I'm going to fold and cut this big piece into some long strips. With my fabric cut, it's now time to start wrapping the balls from the ball pit. I want to start by rolling the ball in the fabric, making sure to turn under the raw edges of the fabric so they're not seen i'm placing the first ball a few inches from the end of the fabric so that i have a bit left over when i'm done next i'm going to use some red thread to tie off each ball to tie them off i want to twist the fabric at the end of the ball so that it's nice and tight and then i want to wrap the thread around the twisted part a few times finally i'll tie a few knots in it and then snip off the ends with both ends of the first ball tied off it's time to add another ball. I can slip it right into the fabric folds and then twist it off to make sure it's nice and tight again. This garland is just about done but I still need a way to hang it and some little finishing touches. To do that I'm cutting four strips of the same fabric about a foot and a half to two feet long and a couple of inches wide. I want to tie off one of the strips tightly to the end of each to each end of the garland and then knot it and cut off the excess. This is going to serve as a way to hang my garland. I love that this beautiful garland was made from something as ordinary as ball pit balls. It's perfect for the holiday season but could be changed up for any time of year by changing out the fabric. I hope this has inspired you to make your own garland as well.
