DIY Holiday Ornament

While in GA for Thanksgiving, we made a few DIY holiday ornaments. It's a really simple, festive craft project.

Here's what you'll need: 
-Straight pins
-Seed beads (optional)
-Styrofoam balls (we used 1.5'' and 3'', but you could use any size)
-Twine or fishing line
-Sequins

What to do:
-Take your twine or fishing line and tie it around your ball. Leave enough line to tie a loop.
-Take a straight pin and put on a seed bead (if you wish) and a sequin - push it into the ball.
-Repeat, and make sure to slightly overlap the sequins.
-Fill up the entire ball with sequins.
-Hang on the tree and enjoy!
That's all! It's an easy DIY project and it will really add sparkle to your tree.
