Fall Floral Styrofoam Balls

Materials:

• 3 styrofoam balls (6 inches wide)
• Dollar Store artificial flowers (36 stems in fall colors)
• Hot glue gun
• Glue sticks
• Scissors
• Ribbon or twine (optional for hanging)
• Decorative bowl or basket (optional)

Directions:

1. Gather your supplies and clear a workspace.
2. Using scissors, trim the flower stems near the base, leaving just enough to stick into the styrofoam balls.
3. Heat your hot glue gun and insert a glue stick.
4. Start at the top of a styrofoam ball, add a small dab of hot glue to the base of a flower, and press it onto the ball. Hold it for a few seconds until it sets.
5. Continue placing flowers around the ball, keeping them close together to cover the entire surface. Mix up the colors and sizes for a balanced look.
6. Repeat with the other styrofoam balls until all three are completely covered in flowers.
7. If you want to hang them, cut a piece of ribbon or twine and glue it securely to the top of each ball.
8. Let the glue dry completely before handling or displaying your floral balls.
9. Arrange the balls in a bowl, basket, or hang them up for a beautiful fall decoration.

Enjoy your festive creation!
