Fall Floral Styrofoam Balls
Materials
- 3 styrofoam balls (6 inches in diameter)
- Artificial flowers from the Dollar Store (36 stems, various fall colors)
- Hot glue gun
- Glue sticks
- Scissors
- Ribbon or twine (optional for hanging)
- Decorative bowl or basket (optional)
Directions
- Gather all of your items and create a clean area.
- Prepare the artificial flowers by cutting the stems near to the flower’s base using scissors. Leave just enough stem to properly insert the styrofoam balls.
- Heat the hot glue gun and insert a glue stick.
- Starting at the top of one styrofoam ball, add a little quantity of hot glue to the base of a flower and firmly push it into place. Hold for a few seconds until it has set.
- Continue working your way around the ball, arranging the flowers close together to cover the entire surface. Variate the colors and sizes to get a balanced and appealing appearance.
- Repeat with the remaining styrofoam balls until all three are fully covered in flowers.
- If you want to hang the balls, cut a piece of ribbon or string and glue it securely to the top of each ball in a loop.
- Allow the glue to completely cure before handling or displaying the finished pieces.
- Arrange the ornamental balls anyway you choose. They may be hung or piled to create a topiary.
