Supplies:
– Styrofoam ornaments (I bought the glittery ones, but
typically, you’re supposed to use the ones wrapped in silk thread. I just
couldn’t find them anywhere.)
– Assorted beads
– Assorted sequins (didn’t realize this until later, but
larger sequins would show up better and would be easier for kids to
manipulate).
– Assorted colors and sizes of ribbon
– Pins (some with decorative heads on them and then you
could probably do some without for the sequins)
– It’s helpful to use a container with dividers (even a
cupcake pan) to organize the beads, pins, etc.
Directions:
– Help your child cut a length of ribbon to go around the
ball.
– Load up a pin with some beads/sequins.
– Pin the ribbon to the top of the ball, wrap it around to
the other side, and pin the top again.
– Rotate your ornament and wrap ribbon around to intersect
the first ribbon.
– Pin the ribbons where they intersect to hold.
– You can add more ribbons and pins/beads/sequins as you
desire to make it more ornate.
Have fun and Happy Holidays!!
