Twine decorative balls

by 10 Comments

I saw this post on Young House Love an instantly knew I wanted to try that method out myself. I definitely didn’t want to go so big since I saw theirs didn’t stay together (if they can’t get it to work…Who can?)

So, here’s my finished product.

I love them. I wish I would have made more, but I didn’t buy enough glue. Dang.

These were so easy to make, though! I just grabbed a few balloons, some white glue, and some water and went to town.

tips: I’d go with water balloons if you’re trying to make these. I used regular sized balloons and they were a little lopsided. I think water balloons would be an easy fix.

Also, let the twine dry for at least two days before popping the balloon inside. If you try before then, you might end up really sad. Mine all collapsed when I tried too early.

You guys, I am so sorry for leaving you hanging! I haven’t posted in over a week and people (mainly my mom) have been wondering why.

The reason? I’ve been super sick. And, if we’re being really honest here, I haven’t had much crafting inspiration going on. Add a mixture of those two together, and you’re sure to get a really awful blog.

Good news, though! I am feeling much better and my crafty side is slowly reappearing. I’ll probably be posting later today about a way fun (and so easy) project that I just finished.

See you there?

I love paint

So, my project that I’m showing you isn’t all the way finished yet. The plan was to have it finished before I posted, but I just couldn’t wait.

My mom gave me a bunch of these awesome white containers. I loved the shape, but wasn’t quite feeling the white.

So, I painted one light grey. Subtle, but i like it.

Doesn’t it look so much better already? I still want to paint over it with shiney Mod Podge (why can’t I think of the real name? Y’know, the kind of Mod Podge I hate?) to give it a little shine. We’ll see how that looks. I also want a big bow on it and maybe a little something else. We’ll see.

I have big plans for this guy. I’m thinking maybe it’ll have a nice home on the bathroom floor, holding toilet paper. Only time will tell.

Miscarriage Awarness Day

I know I already posted about miscarriage and still birth a few weeks ago, but tomorrow is miscarriage, stillbirth, and infant loss awareness day.

I thought I should share this video with you guys, and say a huge thank you to the amazing girls I have met who have experienced one (or more) of these horrible tragedies in their lives. You’ll never know how much you have impacted my life. Without you ladies, I know I wouldn’t have been able to move on and begin to heal my broken heart. I love you guys. So much.

Those of you who know someone who’s had a miscarriage, still born, or infant loss, please keep them in your thoughts tomorrow.
