I am so, so sorry that I have ignored you this week. I have let dental appointments, design consultations, wedding consultations, family needs and broken bones come before you. Please forgive me. Maybe this little tutorial will help you feel better and make up for my neglect.
Sincerely,

How to Make Your Own Halloween Orbs
You'll need:
Wooden Balls
(Ping Pong balls might even work)
Black Spray Paint
White Paint Marker
Spray paint the orbs (balls) black.
Helpful hint: Place balls on cloth surface so they won't roll.
When dry, print on scary words using paint marker.
Place Halloween Orbs in a pretty bowl, vase,
or apothecary jar and ENJOY!

Great project! Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to make some for myself.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog's new look.
So cute and so easy! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a simple and inexpensive idea to help decorate for halloween! So often halloween decor can look cheap, but this is brilliant and looks classy!
ReplyDeleteThis is a super cute idea. But a fair warning, paint doesn't like to stick to ping pong balls. I used gold paint on one once to make a flying snitch for a Harry Potter things and it took forever. The wooden balls are the best idea.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the idea!
Poor Joy, it sounds like you have had a week of it! I hope you are ok, and have had time to relax.
ReplyDeleteThose halloween balls are so cute!!
What a fabulous idea...the wheels in my head are spinning about how many cute things that you could do as a take off from this...monogramed balls...stenciled...another project for my list!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the orbs! FAB idea Joy! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDelete@cheapchichome. This is one of those ideas: Why didn't I think of that? Cute!
ReplyDeleteThese are so adorable! I love them!!!
ReplyDeleteCan I ask where you got the wooden balls? I went to Joanne's and a million dollar stores, but they didn't have them. I ended up getting wooden balls with holes, but they were still $4.00 and only 1". Thanks for your help!
ReplyDeletei wanted to let you know i did a post on these balls and i linked back to you. http://thethriftyba.blogspot.com/2010/09/halloween-balls.html
ReplyDeletethanks for the great idea!
I followed a link from "The Thrifty Ba." These are so cool.
ReplyDeleteToo bad they weren't made with ping pong balls...they would have qualified for the Recycled Halloween Craft Challenge I'm hosting!
