Hello Steemians friends! My first post was a little introduction so this is my second post, a diy, hope you like it ! Today i'm gonna show you how to make a nice yarn ball lights decoration..

First time doing this thing. The key is to be patient and love what you do :D

Materials needed: 

  • Yarn
  • White Glue/Super glue
  • Balloons
  • Vaseline
  • Scissor 
  • Battery powered led lights
  • Flat tray 

First you need to prepare your area, this is quite a messy process so you’ll have to keep a paper or old newspaper to protect your area.

Step 1:

  • Take the flat tray and mix white glue and water (50:50) very well (don't make it too watery) 
  • Soak the yarn into the water glue mixture without cutting the yarn 

Step 2:

  • Blow up small round shaped balloons
  • Apply some vaseline on the surface of the balloons

Step 3:

  • Start wrapping the glued yarn around the balloon randomly starting from the top of the balloon
  • Cover the whole balloon with the yarn and try to create a nice pattern
  • When you finish with all the balloons place them somewhere and let the glue dry about 24 hours

Step 4:

  • Take a needle, pop the balloons and take it out from the yarn balls 

Now it's the time to place lights inside the yarn balls:

  • Find a small hole on the yarn ball and put the light inside
  • Add a little super glue on the light to make sure it stick inside

My result: 

You can do it too !
Have a good day :)
