Posting has really slowed down this holiday season, eh?  I wanted to remind you that I’m still alive and kicking (if bogged down in holiday preparations!) and that I still love all of you out there on the internets.

What’s new with me?  Well, I’m hosting a holiday party this X-mas eve and I’m planning on making some variation of this project with guests!

I’ve been wanting to do one of these for a long time.  Essentially it’s a styrofoam ball stuck with sewing pins that have been threaded with beads and/or sequins.  Sometimes ribbon or trim is also used.  I find these when I’m thrift shopping all the time.

I’m going to show you some of my favorites that I’ve stumbled across on the internet.  Here goes…

Found this lovely pink and white one here.



This geodesic marvel was wrapped in tin foil first. (NICE IDEA, totally stealing that.)





Buttons!!!!! Need I say more?

80′s dance party version.



And finally…a loveley paper version. Surprisingly classy!

Do you have a favorite?  Let me know!  Only a couple days left to decide what type to make…

Love and Happy Holidays!
