Just kidding! But I do have a great craft project for you today. When I first saw the newer, larger Christmas balls a few years ago I wasn&#8217;t quite sure if people were putting them on their trees. I don&#8217;t think I can put a ball this large on my tree, so I thought of another way to decorate the ball.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_135354\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 510px\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-135354\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/images1.blisstree.com\/files\/2009\/12\/xmasball1.jpg?resize=500%2C666\" alt=\"Kathy Zengolewicz\" width=\"500\" height=\"666\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kathy Zengolewicz<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h4>Here is what you will need to get started:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>A 5 or 6 inch Christmas ball (or whatever size you choose)<\/li>\n<li>An assortment of Christmas picks or florals<\/li>\n<li>A couple of berry picks<\/li>\n<li>A large bow made with wired ribbon or ribbon to make the bow yourself<\/li>\n<li>A hot glue gun<\/li>\n<li>A length of thin gold cord to hang the ball<\/li>\n<li>Alcohol<\/li>\n<li>seasonal stickers (optional)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Wipe the Christmas ball down with a little alcohol and let it dry. If you are using the stickers, place them in various places on the ball. You don&#8217;t have to use stickers, it looks just fine without them. I only mention them because I made these for a few friends and a couple of my close friends wanted stickers on theirs.<\/p>\n<p>Place the picks or florals around the top of the ball right under the silver hook holder. You&#8217;ll need to put these on one at a time, glue them in place and hold them for a minute until the glue takes hold. Place the berry picks, one on each side and glue into place.<\/p>\n<p>If you are making the bow yourself, make at least 6 or 7 loops. Take the bow and hot glue it to the top of the ball. Don&#8217;t cover the silver hook holder, loop your thin gold cord through the hook holder and tie.<\/p>\n<p>You now have a beautiful decoration to hang anywhere. I have my ornament hanging in front of my kitchen window, over my sink. Everyone who visits and see this ornament wants one for their home. So, as you can imagine, I have made my fair share of Christmas ball decorations.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy!<\/p>\n<p>Post from: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blisstree.com\">Blisstree<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.blisstree.com\/articles\/christmas-ball-ornament\/\">Christmas Ball Ornament<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who says you have to have a Christmas Tree?
