Decopatch Ball Yard Decoration

It is so easy and inexpensive to create unique yard decorations with a styrofoam ball, an acrylic ball and decopatch paper. These look really appealing especially amongst green plants or a green grassy area.

 

 

Yard Decoration

For this project you will need:

- styrofoam ball about 10 centimeters in size (about 4 - 4.5 inches)
- an acrylic ball that can be opened in two halves that is a bit larger than the styrofoam ball (the styrofoam ball must be able to
  fit in the acrylic ball when the two halves are closed)
- decopatch paper
- decopatch glue
- aluminum wire
- wooden stick about 6-8 millimeters in diameter - length is your choice depending on your needs
- tape
- hot glue

Instructions:

Yard Decoration Tutorial 1
1. Tear the decopatch paper in various sized pieces. Then cover the entire styrofoam ball with the decopatch paper and let the ball dry. This can take up to an hour depending on the warmth and humidity of the area you live.
