You may remember the paper flower wreaths that Heather and I made inspired by the Whipperberry pomanders? Well, this is the same technique, using styrofoam balls for ornaments. I used four 3-inch balls and four 4-inch balls.
Using the same two sizes as the wreaths for the flower punch, I cut out different sizes in four bright and cheerful summer colors. I used two 12x12 sheets of each color.
Then I pinned them on, just as we did with the wreaths. This time I used solid white pins and alternated the small flower color for contrast. You'll want to really snuggle those flowers tightly together as you pin to eliminate gaps.
You can pin a loop of ribbon for hanging as ornaments or just place them between branches to sit nicely. I couldn't be more thrilled with the final results.
Send us pictures if you decide to make some for yourself! We'd love to see your projects!!!
