Making a Pomander Ball

I have learned crafting is fairly easy just having the patience to see it come together and having the resources/supplies to create something.
I found these Pomander Balls online at Pizzazzerie
I love tutorials but I find myself always doing them just a bit different than the person who’s tutorial I am following. In Courtney’s tutorial she used her paper punch and I thought that would be exhausting cutting out each individual flower so instead I used a piece of card stock and my cricut.

Maeli is the only child that I can keep her attention in the crafting department and really has a desire to learn about the things I am making so while I worked on something else I told her if she did this then she could have it in her room when it was done.

At the time I didn’t have any styrafoam balls in my house so I used what I had which was one of those green balls you find in the floral department. I did not like using it as it left gritty green stuff on your hands BUT I already had it at home and didn’t want to run to the store to buy one.

She went to work on it. I showed her what to do and it is easy enough for a child to do! The ball I had was much bigger than the one Courtney used in the tutorial so about half way through Maeli got burned out so I finished it up.

Didn’t it turn out so cute? I would love to make a few more it is just finding the time!
