DIY: Fall Balls


Fall Balls? ha yeah I know, but how else would you describe these?

I had a serious hankering for a fall craft last weekend. Seeing as gourds and pumpkins aren't readily available yet, I found myself wandering the craft store trying to come up with something. I saw {this} on {pinterest}, and came home with some fake white pumpkins intending to modge-podge some fake leaves onto them (even as I type that it sounds terrible). Well that was a big ole' pinterest FAIL. 

The other thing I came home with were grapevine balls which I wanted to make pumpkin-like with ribbons. Well I'm not sure I'd call them pumpkins, but they are pretty cute! I have one hanging in my window now :)



Materials
 - Variety of ribbons - I used some wide, thin, sparkling and yarn
 - Grapevine Balls
 - Sparkle tape to finish

Instructions
 - Weave ribbons and yarn through the grapevines.
 - Add some curling ribbon hanging down inside
 - Tie a big bow on top, hold the center together with sparkle tape.

And that's it!
