DIY: Table Decor

While I was upstairs getting out my spring decor, I came across this metal bowl that I've had for a while but didn't have anything to put in it. I thought about getting some of those decorative balls that they sell at Pier 1 but I didn't really want to spend $4.00 a piece so I decided to make them. Plus I already had all the supplies in my craft closet( aka: bathroom that no one knows about! ha) Step 1- Gather your supplies. Just some foam balls, moss, & hot glue. I never used the jute twine. I thought I would but didn't
Step 2: Find yourself a cute 2 year old helper!
Let her help (make a mess) for about 2 min and then talk her into having a tea party with water so she will give you a short break so you can finish the project.

Step 3. Put hot glue all over 1/2 of the ball and cover it with a small amount of moss. I made a nest and then covered the ball. Do the other side. Check for holes or missing areas and add some more glue and moss. It's so easy!!
Step 4. Finished product!!

And now I have a springy table decoration!
You could use all kinds of things instead of moss, but it's just what I had on hand!
