Did I mention that all I did all weekend was craft? On top of my Mini Bath Revamp, I also worked on more decorative balls--this time using yarn instead of hemp, and sure to be a new favorite, anthro inspired blooms, found at Homemade Ginger.
First things first, I loved the way the Decorative Twine Balls turned out last week. I started thinking that I'd really like some in color, without having to spray paint--dude, it's so messy! So, I figured that I would just use yarn in the color I wanted. This time, it turned out to be yellow.
A couple tips:
Warning, do not use synthetic yarn unless you're going to be hardcore adhesive mixing! It just didn't hold its shape, even 24 hours later.
What I did have great luck with was Lily Sugar n Cream, a more thread-like based yarn that really held it's shape perfectly.

Keeping with the theme of awesomeness, on to the Anthro Inspired Blooms from Homemade Ginger! I fell in love with these the second I saw them and literally ran upstairs for Q-Tips. Seriously.
These were super easy but a little messy. No bigs compared to the results though.
You can make these in any color or size. I used three sizes of styro balls, small/medium/large, two in turquoise and one in green.
See the tutorial here.
Since I was on a roll, and I'm super in love with buttons, I also did a couple button flowers. All I did was hot glue buttons on to a styro ball and stuck it with a skewer stick. Damn they're handy!
Here's a closer (kinda) look at the Button Flower:
So there you have it, almost everything I did over the Easter weekend :)
