String Balls

By | |

I have this cool idea to make a mobile out of string balls.  It’s a project where you blow up a balloon, dip strings in glue and place around the balloon.  When the glue dries, you pop the balloon and take it off.  Here are 2 that I made.  The kids are going to make these next week.

A spherical craft made of intertwined blue and white yarn hanging from the ceiling in a cluttered room, resembling decorative balls.

    I just used regular elmer's glue, slightly watered down.

    I did something similar with my students and while the glue was still wet, we sprinkled glitter on them
