Striped Ball Ornament

This ball ornament was made from a recycled old satin covered ball that lost its satin covering. You can also use a styrofoam ball that is available at any good craft store. Make a bunch of these in a wide variety of colors. Imagine the red stripes done in green or even variagated Christmas colors or even Christmas glitter yarn!

Control Your Craft Clutter
If you are like me and most crafters out there, you like to keep cardboard packaging and other packaging materials "just in case". Doing that often gets out of control if you don't save them in a controlled manner. Well what I do is a designate a special container to keep various materials in and when each container is full, I do not save any more of that particular item until my supply is almost gone. For example, empty cereal boxes for the cardboard. I keep my supply in a magazine holder. When it's full, I do not save more, until my supply of that wonderful cardboard is almost gone. My community recycles so I don't feel bad about getting rid of those empty boxes if I know I have a handful available to use whenever I need to.
