If you are looking for crafts to make your house look shiny, glitterball yarn ornaments are your best choice. Following are the steps to make one courtesy of onelittleproject.com
Materials needed are balloons, cotton yarn, thick glue, iridescent glitter, plastic fork, disposable bowl, scissors.
Cut around 15 to 20 pieces (2.5ft long) of yarn per ball ornament. The more yarn you use, the better your ornament will look. Mix your glue, water, and glitter in the disposal bowl. You can blow a balloon up and slowly let the air escape still you reach the right size. Hang the balloon on a kitchen cupboard or light holder above the dining table.
Now going to the messy and fun part, add one strain of yarn into the bowl of glue and sink it fully into the bowl and stir using the plastic fork. Find the end of the yarn, then run it through the fork as shown in the picture. Forks work so well to remove the excess glue. Carefully wrap the strain of yarn around the balloon and when you reach the end of the yarn, sink the next set of yarn into the bowl.
When you finish wrapping a strand of yarn, make sure you tuck the end under another piece of yarn so that it doesn’t fall down when you let go of it. Keep adding more glue-covered yarn in different directions until you are happy. You can leave the yarn ball hanging overnight to dry. Then make a small cut in the balloon, very close to the knot. When the balloon is deflated, you can pull it out from the yarn ball.
Tie a piece of string around the yarn, and the ball ornament is complete. You can make the glitterball yarn in various colors by using different colors of cotton yarn and matching color glitter.
