I turned 50 today!! well..kinda

So no...my age is not 50...BUT 50 followers I DO HAVE! I can't believe it. I woke up this morning to check my blogger board and there you all were...all 50 of you!
I never thought in my wildest dreams that I would hit 50 followers...I just started this blog to fulfil the urge to get my ideas on paper. I'm SOOO HAPPY TODAY and it's all because of all of you.

I want to share with you a simple tutorial on how to make some super cute decor balls....I made these MONTHs ago and was going to wait until the bathroom reveal but since today marks a VERY special occasion, I felt the need to post.

This entire project was bought from the dollar store and cost a total of 3 dollars - it made 6 balls : that's .50 cents a ball....go way! lol

What I used and you will need:

Raffia & Raffia String
Round Styrofoam Balls
Glue Gun

&
Glue Sticks ( due to the heat of the gun you could also use regular super glue, I recommend this)


How to:

Glue the end of your raffia or to the styrofoam ball, wrap around the ball once then slowly start to shift directions gluing sections as you go (you only have to do this once every two or three wraps) Make sure that you are not always overlapping in the same place. Once you have done this and the ball is covered to your liking cut the end and glue it down, and TADA you are done and have beautiful decor balls with a beachy twist!

Place then in a bowl or vase, which ever you like. My regular raffia one wasn't covered fully but because I didn't have super glue and had to use a glue gun the thinness of the raffia made it burn my fingers and I gave up :) I like the way it looks anyways!

Stay tuned if you don't have a bowl, because later I have a dooozy for ya!
