There's something about twine that I really like. Its texture and neutral color make it a great option for a rustic looking ornament with a bit of sparkle.

How to Make DIY Twine Ball Ornaments

This Christmas craft is great for anyone with easy steps to create a simple ornament for gift giving or to add your own holiday decor.

What You'll Need

• Thin Twine/Jute
• Water balloons
• Mod Podge, Tacky glue, or white glue
• Glitter
• Paper plate
• Ornament hangers
• Scissors
• Large pin or needle

1. Blow up a water balloon into a round shape. Water balloons are nice and small making them a good choice for this craft.

2. Then wrap the twine all around the balloon crisscrossing the twine to cover most of the balloon.

3. Cover the entire ball with mod podge. You could also use white glue.

4. Next, shake a pretty white or clear glitter all over.

5. Set them on some parchment paper or wax paper to dry.

6. Once dry use a large pin to pop the balloon and pull it out.

If part of the balloon is still inside you can use the pin or a needle to pick it out.

How to Use Twine Ball Ornaments

These rustic Christmas ornaments would be a beautiful way to decorate your living room coffee table set in a bowl as shown above.

You could also bag a few up and give them out as gifts.

However, ultimately I like them best hung on the Christmas tree.

Just a little sparkle with a nice neutral color. Something anyone (even the kids) can easily make this Christmas season.
