Hanging Balls Full Of Roses

This idea would be great for any baby shower, birthday or any kind of party just thought it was such a cute idea and wanted to share the idea with you guys.

Here's what you'll need:

Styrofoam ball forms

Crepe paper streamers in whatever colors you choose

LOTS of hot glue sticks and a glue gun or you can also use tacky glue works very well also

I measured my crepe paper strips at 24 inches, and ripped a BUNCH at that length, so I wouldn't have to keep stopping, to rip more

First I crumpled the strips up, to make them softer and more fabric looking...

Then I straighted them out....

And began to roll. Start small... and then get a little looser. Like a real rose.

About 4 or 5 turns in, I would put a dot of glue on the end, by my thumb, to keep this part from unraveling. I did this periodically through each flower at a couple turns, to make sure that the flower didn't just fall apart, once I was done.

If you can see here. I would wind the paper around the middle base roll, and twist at the same time. So it looked MORE like a rose and LESS like a cinnamon roll.

This is SO easy! But a little time consuming. Be patient with the first few flowers. It takes a couple to get it down. But once you do... you'll fly through them!

Here's the end of the flower. I would just gather the end piece of crepe paper and then add a dab of glue to the outside of the flower, itself, and stick it on the edge.

Seriously, you CAN'T mess these up! I had some flowers that I was like "Ew.. that looks awful" and some that I LOVED and thought looked like the REAL thing! And now that the whole thing is together... you can't tell one from the other!

After I had a few flowers done, I would start putting them on the ball.

A little puddle of hot glue on the ball, lightly press the flower on... and you're good to go!

I used a roll of tape to help keep my ball from rolling around on the table. It was a LIFE SAVER!

Make sure not to put the flowers TOO close together. Or they'll start to look crowded.

This is how it will look about a quarter of the way finished!

So fun! CHEAP and Easy!

That it all done!!! Beautiful or what?

Also, check out this fun spring wreath, you can make using this same technique!
