They are nice. I had 1 but left it with a friend because it is too cold and windy up here to put it out.

Another nice idea with scraps is to make a scrap bauble. You need a polystyrene ball and lots and lots of square pieces of material. Push the middle of the square in the polystyrene ball with a pointed stick ( a pencil will do as well) and mount the ball when it is completely covered on a stick which you can cover with a nice ribbon, or just make a wire loop in it to hang it up. I quite often put some nice smelly oils on it and use it as a freshening up ball. Lovely for Xmas if you just use greens and reds.

I love it!
And I cut the squares with pinking shears.
I have done the same thing but not in a long time. I'll have to pick up some styrofoam balls in my travels this week. Thanks for the reminder.

I used the styrofoam balls and dipped the pointed square (on a bamboo skewer) in white glue and stuck into the styrofoam.

this also looks good if you use styro wreath & make it with netting. Then spray with adhesive & sprinkle with glitter. You can nestle in tiny little christmas balls or ornaments & it makes for a beautiful wreath, especially if you use white netting & sprinkle with gold glitter.

It sounds very pretty, my to do list is longer than my arm but thank you for another great idea.

Smila posted a picture of the finished wreath the next day in her blog and there she had glas-mushrooms and glittering birds in it. Very nice :o)
I love the netting idea...thanks. I have made one with three different fabrics years ago and a ball to match.

So many great ideas! Last year I used sheer shiny faric, some metallics and cut them about 2x5 inches and tied them to the string of lights> I filled it full like the wreath but it lights up and the sheers and metallics reflect the lights. When I put up my decorations this week, I'll take a pic for you. My mistake in making it was I used a long long string of lights which I didn't realize till I was halfway through! But it is pretty arched over the doorway.<br />Meri
