I use ping pong balls (8 for $1) and wiffle balls (4 for $1) and use double-sided tape instead of a glue gun to attach natural colored twine to the ball. Then, I paint with craft paint for a variety of colors. Easy peasy and cheap. :)

I would call it a “cloche” but I really don’t know what it is! A little stick house? :)

I found satin Christmas balls at my Goodwill and found some patriotic fabric at Walmart. I tore the fabric into strips and wrapped the satin balls. The balls are still sitting in a bowl in my china cabinet. I loved making them!!!

Wrapping them with bias tape looks good, particularly if you have vintage patterned tape or make your own. Also a fun way to use up little bits of sparkly or novelty yarn (I have a whole set of Xmas tree balls made from scrap yarn). If you crochet or knit, you can always display your yarn balls until you’re ready to use them. Why let pretty yarn languish in a dark drawer? :D I also have rag balls, but real ones (i.e. strips of fabric rolled up and waiting to be made into rag rugs…)
