Looking for a simple fall decoration? Here's a not-so-quick but simple and cool yarn decor you can try out for this fall season.

Instructions

  1. Small 111589 2f2015 10 19 085114 20141218 153631

    Take a flat tray (at least 1 inch height). Mix white glue and water (50:50) very well on the tray.

  2. Small 111589 2f2015 10 19 085117 step%2b 283 29

    Soak the yarn into the water-glue mixture without cutting the yarn from the bundle. Make sure to soak the yarn evenly in the water-glue mixture.

    Blow up a small round shaped balloon. Keep a paper or old newspaper to protect your craft space. Start wrapping the glued yarn around the balloon randomly. Cover the whole balloon evenly with the yarn and try to create a nice and even pattern.

  4. Small 111589 2f2015 10 19 085128 20141218 163104

    Allow the glue to dry for at least a day.

    After the glue dries make sure to free the yarn from the balloon by pushing the balloon on places where it is joined to the yarn, otherwise it will ruin the yarn ball after popping the balloon. Finally, pop the balloon and take it out from the yarn ball.
