DIY: Old Book Paper Balls

By Rachel Garcia in diy

I love easy DIY projects. Today's project is just that - Super Easy. I made these cute paper balls from an old book for my new little baby girl's room, but they would be perfect for a rustic wedding. They are very light weight so you can hang them from almost any ceiling or chair backs or anyplace else.

1: Supplies: - Length of ribbon you want it to hang from - Small sewing pin - Foam ball ( I used 2 inch balls but you can use any size) - Glue gun - Pages from any old book (6 to 20 pages depending on the size of your foam ball)

2 & 3: Fold and rip each page into six 2 inch squares.

4: With your finger in the center, curl the edges in and add a pea sized drop of glue to the outside center.

5: Quickly attach the paper to the ball and repeat till the ball is covered.

6: Don't forget to add the hanging ribbon before you cover the entire ball. Use a drop of glue between ribbon and pin to help it adhere to the ball.

Fin!
