Yarn Snowballs

Those are beautiful!

I'm waiting for mine to dry!
Can't wial for tomorrow to see it!

Is there anything else that can be used other than vaseline? Cos I dont have it D:

amazing idea! I'm going to put it on my Christmas tree this year. <3

i already have done this 2 years ago but ur's came out pretty good
awesome job !

I love this! I can't wait to try it!

Very pretty! I've also seen a bigger version of this that had been turned into a light fixture too!

This is genius. =)

Brilliant!!!

nice idea, i've seen wooden ones and was gonna try that but this seems easier!

My sisters having a winter/december wedding next year, and i think these would be awesome decor in her wedding colors!
She'll be so excited when i show her! lol

I have been wanting to do this with tea bag strings. So cool to see how it turned out!

These are really great. You can make these with different yarns and twin for use year round.

I used white elmer's glue like the kind we used in grade school.

cool i tried this once but it came out all messed up think ill try your way

what kind of glue did you use? i tried this one time with modpodge, but it came out way too flimsy and wouldn't hold it's round shape...

Im going to try to make these

Thank-you for posting this how-too. We made these in school when I was small (teacher helped with the messy bits) and I would love to do these now

I love these, I would love to hang a bunch of these in rainbow colors from my ceiling ^.^

The petroleum jelly that you cover the balloon in keeps the glue from sticking. I watered down the glue, added the yarn and then as I pulled it out of the bowl just squeezed the extra out. It was wet but not dripping. My first attempt was with acrylic yarn and that didn't hold the glue, when I switched to cotton it worked much better. Hope that is helpful.

This is a great project!
I made something similar to these a while ago - using the glue - but I ended up with glue all over the balloon that made a real mess once dry. It flaked and filled in the spaces.
How did you get yours so tidy? (could you explain the soaking/removing process a little more)
Thanks!

so cool!!

so cool!!

totaly cool

The yarn with the glitter is white yarn. The red is acrylic that didn't hold together but looked better for the photographs. I tried using mod podge to hold the glitter but it was taking too long for my two year old to stay interested.

Sorry if this was confusing.

Love it! But I can't stand the smell of spray paint, so I think I'll go get some white yarn. ;)

great project, thanks!

Totally gonna make this!!

I like these! Too bad I can't afford balloons or string

I made these for my whole family a couple years ago!

I love this idea! I might try to make these as gift ornaments. And I like the last step, about enjoying the smell by that time, lol

So cute! Can't wait to try this out <3 (Need more Christmas decorations, haha)

pretty, t hink that you can use glitter glue too later on it.for some extra snowy accents ;-D Love this.!!!!
