  Step 1

  For these yarn ball decorations you will need some styrofoam balls (any size you like) and some yarn in colours that will look nice with your tree and other ornaments.

• 

  Step 2

  Start wrapping yarn around your styrofoam ball. It doesn't have to look perfect right away. Make sure you change the direction that you are wrapping every so often the way I did.

• 

  Step 3

  Once you can no longer see your styrofoam ball and you are happy with the pattern you have made with your yarn, cut the yarn and leave a longish tail.

• 

  Step 4

  Secure your yarn by weaving the end under a few of your wrapped pieces.

• 

  Step 5

  I used my yarn tail to make the hanger for my ornament.

• 

  Step 6

  Just make a loop large enough to fit over the branches of your tree.

• 

  Step 7

  Then tie a little knot

• 

  Step 8

  and secure by weaving once more through your wrapped yarn.

• 

  Step 9

  Next I weaved the end down to the bottom of the ball and trimmed it so that there was a little tail hanging. You could also trim the tail completely so that there is none hanging down if you prefer.

• 

  Step 10

  Place on your tree! If you kept a hanging tail you can play with it and wrap it around your branches a little bit.

  These yarn ball decorations are super easy to make and I love the way they look hanging on my tree! All of my balls are the same size but I think it would also look super adorable if you used a few different sized styrofoam balls.
