TWINE BALLS :: TWINERY BLOG HOP + GIVEAWAY

Hello and welcome if you came here from Katrina and are stopping by on Day three of The Twinery "blog hop"!

.......................................................
Photobucket
I have had an idea in my head for a while with this gorgeous twine, and that is to create those starched string balls you probably made in primary school. Remember doing that with wool and a big balloon? I'm sure teachers loved cleaning up after that art class!

I wanted to do miniature versions so I used water balloons to get a small round shape. I wrapped each with twine that had been dipped in PVA glue and then hung to dry. Once dry and the balloon was popped, you have these firm little twine balls. Cute and mini right? Photobucket
Photobucket
I thought they would make great present toppers for a gift box. Think of the colour combos you could do for a themed party...or Christmas garland, or birthdays!
I don't know about you, but those lovely twine colours just say "Party" to me!
Photobucket
Your next stop on the hop is Jessica...thanks for stopping by and hope to you see you around again soon!

I am giving my little niece a china tea set for Christmas that she has been longing and longing for. It came in a white box like that. I already had the idea of wrapping it with red & green twine, but those balls would be soooo cute!
