Pomander Flower Ball







I thought these were the cutest flower balls.  Making the first one was so much fun and easy that I decided to make a second one.  Wanna try it out?  Ok, here's what you'll need: 

  • 12 x 12 Cardstock.  I chose a shimmery, linen patterened cardstock
  • Pearl tipped corsage pens
  • White styrofoam ball
  • Flower paper punch



Punch several flower petal shapes from the 12 x 12 sheet of cardstock.



Layer the petals then curl the edges of the top flower.  This gives the flower a bit of dimension.


Next, attach the flower petals to the styrofoam ball with the corsage pins.  I chose to go around the entire ball and make a complete circle.  Repeat until the entire ball is covered.

Voila!  Pomander Flower Ball!




...a fun and easy little project - cute enough to decorate for a dinner party or any party.  Enjoy!  :o)



P.S. Check the blog hops tab (at the top of the page) to see where I've hopped today.

    I've been using that shimmery, textured paper a lot lately. Isn't it great? Your pomanders are really lovely.
