Christmas Balls
This last week I bought some empty Christmas ball to fill for an upcoming sale. I am always looking for something a bit different. They are plastic. They are very clear. I had planed on getting glass but theses where so clear I though it would eliminate the breakage problem. I was going to get a different shape as well but for some reason a flat circle cost twice as much.
First you pop of the top and then add what every you like.
You can add anything that fits through the hole. This is silk throwsters waist fluffed up.
When it’s full you pop the top back one and your done.
I used Blue Faced Leister Curls, some mohair curls, silk hankies fluffed up and some throwsters waste. in a few I added some sparkly angelina.

I’ve seen this approach before but totally forgot abou it….thanks for the reminder and the lovely eye candy this morning!
Thanks, Mary. They are fun to make and look great on the tree.
Neat idea and very colorful. I have never seen this before.
Thanks. You can do all sorts of things with them.
I haven’t seen it before either, but it would make a great gift for felters besides attractive ornaments! Thanks for sharing.
They are really nice on the tree I have one I bought years ago and it looks really nice in the tree.
great idea….love it!
Thank you
They are excellent quality plastic – they look like glass – and the non-breakability of them is a good selling point.
Very pretty with the wool – I like the addition of the angelina because a bit of sparkle is always attractive.
They had other plastic ones that split in two but they where cheap and cloudy. Non breakable is a must for us with young cats in the house.
Great idea Ann – I agree that these look like good quality. I have seen some that were not as nice.
Thanks Ruth.
A good idea Ann and those baubles really do look like glass. I might look for some of those, the g’children would enjoy making them. 🙂
I think they would be fun to make with kids.
They look gorgeous Ann, the photo is excellent! 🙂
Thanks Zed. I was impress with the picture too, I took it with my iPhone.
Great idea! Did not know those clear ornaments were available in plastic.
I got another box a week later and their where very few of the good plastic ones left. I got them at Michael’s craft store.
very creative idea. I have to fill a stocking for someone this year, so I think I will add one or 2 of these. People love Christmas ornaments, and more so when they are handmade by someone you know. thanks
Thank you .
