Christmas bauble tutorial

Look at what I made for my girls last night, Cute huh!
 Do you want to make some too?
Here's the ingredients you need.
 Paper mache balls, Scrapbook paper scraps, circle punch(medium), 
Mod podge, foam brush
 I also used  a spray bottle of water (this helped alot), my heat gun 
and sparkle mod podge (not pictured sorry)
 Punch lots and lots of circles...
 I sprayed my circles with water first, so they would 
conform to the ball easier.
 Start at the string and glue the circles on randomly, overlapping them slightly and painting mod podge over the paper circle as you go, until the ball completely covered.
I used my heat gun to speed up the drying process, just be careful not to
hold it in the same spot for to long. After leaving to dry for a while i did a final coat with sparkle mod podge to add a
little bit of girl glitter (not easy to see in the photos)
And here's the end result. You could also ribbon or embellish with
your child's name (that's what I'm going to do) the possibilities are endless.

This is my first tutorial, I hope you enjoyed it. 
Please let me know what you think, I would love some feedback.

  15. These are so stinkin' cute! I love paper mod podged onto balls but I've really only seen strips... the circles were a great unique idea! I featured you today on my favorite things :)

  16. I love these! They are so whimsical. Great job! Thanks for linking up today :) It made my day!!!

  17. That is a really cute ornament craft. I think it would actually be a great ornament to work on fine motor skills with children. The circles are easy enough to pick up yet you need motor planning and placement to get them on the ball. I would like to try this with both my boys who have this issue. Thanks for sharing.

  18. What a great idea! I am addicted to Mod-Podge and scrapbook paper. I can't stop covering things with it! I am on my way to the craft store to buy some paper mache balls. Thanks for an excellent tutorial and the tip on spraying the paper with water!

  20. Great idea! I just tried to use book page pieces to do something similar and it didn't work. This makes me think I needed smaller sized pieces like yours. Yours came out great!
