You need: a styrofoam ball
Pins (I used the ones pictured below)
pieces of Scrapbook paper in desired color
A Circle and a flower punchout
Ok... Get ready to punch out a WHOLE bunch of flowers and circles.
Fold up the petals of the flowers to give dimension
Then take your styrofoam ball and put the circle punchout on first. I started to just add the flowers on without the circle, but you could see too much white styrofoam. I wanted it to look uniform so I added the circle to have purple all over.
Then add the flower on top and poke a pin through. I chose the pearly ones but you could use any I am sure. I put the flowers all around the circle, then added another circle and kept going...
It will look like this
Be patient, watch Disney Channel :) and soon it will turn out like this...!
I added mine on top of a candlestick but I'm sure they would look super cute hanging from the ceiling, or just sitting there. I definitely want to make these in different colors, I love how "springy" they look!
The candlesticks are still my favorite and they are a go to for the decor in my apartment. I found them on Etsy {here}
** WOW! I have received a lot of requests on how to make the pink one. Go HERE to learn how. And please, take a look around!

Hey thanks for visiting me and following! I'm following you now :) These pomander balls are so cute! Your signature is darling as well! I used to be a nursery leader (in YW now), and nursery was my FAVORITE calling of all time!! :)
This is really a cute idea! So pretty, and so simple! A matching wreath with smaller styrofoam balls would also look great with this!
Love that you put the circle underneath. Great way to hide the styrofoam.
These are gorgeous! I need some punches asap! Too cute! Found you on TT&J
That is so beautiful and elegant. I have been trying to find a cheap flower punch for a while, might have to use my coupon on one. Love the color too.

I love this. I am doing something similar for my son's daycare teachers. I am using a stryofoam egg, painting it, and attaching small silk flower with the small scrapbooking brads. At the top I attached a ribbon to the top.
Thanks for coming and linking up to my link party! Love your creativity.
