I followed the Pottery Barn Twine Ball Tutorial from V and Co, but rather than using twine I made small bias strips of fabric, and sewed in cotton twine. I used up long scraps of white fabric I had around, including scraps from my baptism dress too many years ago! The only things I actually purchased were the styrofoam balls from Wal-Mart.
Then, I got out the glue gun and applied the "twine" in a circle, and twisted as I went.
The results are not perfect, but I like how they turned out:
Many years ago, my mom and I made these large softie snowmen from warm and natural cotton batting, some buttons, flannel and some old t-shirts. Mom made the carrot noses from sculpey. I think all together, these guys say "Keep the Snow Coming!" Don't you?
