2-1/2" styrofoam balls - any ideas for christmas ornaments using fabric?
while cleaning out and reorganizing my sewing/craft room I cam across a bunch of styrofoam balls that have glitter and christmas scenes on theme. Any ideas on how to recycle them for christmas ornaments using fabric? I have seen the folded star ornaments but they all seem to take 3 inch styrofam balls and these are smaller.

I have made the folded star ornaments with the smaller sized balls and they worked just fabulous. If I remember correctly, I just used two inch squares and fiddled with layout until it fit nicely. Sorry, it has been so long I can not remember specifics. Another thing that is fun to do with the balls is just cut scraps and hot glue gun some ribbons and beads and imagination.

I have seen some that look really homely and pathetic and then some that look like they were made by extemely talented artists. I think the difference was entirely the choice of fabric. Try using velvets, satins or mylars for your balls and covering the seams with strings of pearls or beads.
