Take a look at our Cozy Cabin lookbook for yarn inspiration in modern holiday shades and interesting textures. Follow along with these step-by-step instructions to find out how to do this yourself. What you’ll need: Styrofoam balls Hot glue gun Assorted ribbon Assorted yarn Scissors Step 1 It’s good to have a rough idea of the pattern you want on each ball before you start so you don’t get stumped half way through. Pick a styrofoam ball and the desired yarn, and glue the yarn down to anchor it. Step 2 Start coiling the yarn around the styrofoam ball, gluing as you go to keep the yarn in place. Step 3 When you are ready to switch colors, cut the yarn and glue the tail securely in place. Step 4 Now’s the time to get creative! Pick up your second color and continue spiraling around the styrofoam ball. Repeat the process to add multiple stripes. Step 5 When your entire styrofoam ball is covered with yarn, cut the strand and glue it down to anchor. Clean up any excess glue. Step 6 Cut a piece of ribbon approximately 12 inches long. Glue the center of the ribbon to the top of your ornament. Once dry, tie the ribbon into a bow or a knot And your done!
