I make christmas ornaments

I make sequins balls here the instructions if you want to try to make they are so beautiful when they shine form the lights on your tree. I will share, you will need small to meduim stryo foam balls,long stright pins, litte glass bea ds they come in differnt colors and sequins they also come in differnt colors and tiny ribbon, Ok now we have evrything we need to get started: take the ribbon and wrap it aroundthe ball into quaters leave enough for a loop to hang, then take a pin put a bead on it then a sequin start at the top of the ball and push it into the ball repeat until the ball is full. They are so pretty when the lights sine on them good luck and have fun! :-)

Let me if you made some :-}

I made these years ago for Christmas presents and still have a few for my tree. You can also make designs on them with the sequins such as one I have with a cross on it and another with a star. They are fun to make. One hint is to dip the tip of the streight pin into white glue before inserting it into the styrofoam. As the ornaments get older and bumped around little the pins can fall out. The glue holds them in place longer.

I haven't done that since I was a child.
We live in an apartment & had to give up on 7 ft trees & had to settle for a 3 foot one so all of my beautiful antique balls & handmade items don't make it onto the tree....I'm focussing on making small ornaments for small trees.
