Materials

  • Crochet thread in various colors (red, green, white, etc.) (approx. 30 yards of each color)
  • Foam or Styrofoam balls (about 4-5 inches in diameter)
  • Thin wire (for shaping the names)
  • Hot glue gun
  • Scissors
  • Ribbon (for the ornament loop)

Instructions

  • Begin by selecting foam balls as the base for your ornaments. Choose colors that complement your crochet thread and the words or names you’ll be writing.
  • Starting with your white crochet thread, wrap it around the foam ball tightly, covering the entire surface.
  • Use the crochet thread in contrasting colors (such as red, green, or any color that matches the holiday theme) to crochet the letters of the name or word. Then shape the wire into the desired letters, making sure they fit properly on the ball.
  • Carefully glue each letter onto the wrapped foam ball, positioning them in a neat and readable way.
  • Once the letters are glued in place, create a small loop at the top of the ornament using a piece of ribbon.
