Decorative Balls

This is one of those projects that looks really neat to just have sitting around the house. The balls here are displayed in a wooden bowl that was turned by Ken's sister Diane's husband Dell. We think they look pretty nice together.
Here's what you'll need:

A 2" to 3" Styrofoam ball
Strips of cloth 1" to 2" wide.
Tacky glue

Cut or tear strips of cloth 1" to 2" wide. I think it looks nice if you can tear the cloth and leave the edges ragged.
Wrap the cloth strips around the ball until the entire ball is covered.
Use a small amount of tacky glue to hold the end down.
Make several of then out of different but complementing pieces of material.

These make a nice gift or a great decoration for your home.

We hope you liked this project. If you build it and your friends ask where you got such a clever idea, please tell them that you got it at RunnerDuck.com.
