If you are looking for an inexpensive, but attention-grabbing Christmas decor idea, look no further! These oversized ornaments are just what you need.
Supplies:
Bouncy balls
Spray paint
Bows
--
Fishing line
Nails
Super glue
(These supplies are optional, as they are how my husband chose to hang them. If you would rather hang them a different way, I'm sure there are many other options)
I chose different sizes of bouncy balls, silver spray paint and red bows. Obviously you could choose any variation of paint color and bow color.
To give them the whole suspended-in-mid-air look, my husband stuck a small nail through the air intake of each ball with fishing line wrapped around the head of the nail. Then he filled the space around the nail with super glue to make sure no air leaked out.
We hung them from our basketball goal and spray painted them. I would suggest light coats to prevent drips in the paint. This year I used matte silver spray, but in the future I would go for a more mirrored effect paint. Even bright red or gold would look beautiful!
Once they were dry we put the bows on and hung them from hooks in the ceiling. Simple and affordable. My kind of Christmas decor! ♥

I never would have guessed these were bouncy balls! What a fun (and easy!) Christmas craft!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute and fresh idea!
ReplyDeleteThese are the cutest thing EVER!! So crafty, so festive. Love! =)
ReplyDeleteI love them! Those bows are perfect!
ReplyDeleteThey look great and you can find those bouncy ball for deals anywhere!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE those!!! The bows on them really set them off!!
ReplyDeleteYour oversized ornaments turned out beautiful. You and your husband did a great job! Very clever use of bouncy balls! It's ok to have Christmas decorations up, it's almost Thanksgiving, that's close enough!
ReplyDeleteThose turned out awesome! I really want to decorate for xmas now!
ReplyDeleteLove the metallic. I pinned this, too!
ReplyDeleteThose look amazing! I would never have thought they were bouncy balls either.
ReplyDeleteThese are fab!!! I'd love to try them
ReplyDeleteMust try this! I was just out looking for some oversized ornaments and couldn't find any. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThat's so creative! I would have never thought to do that, but how simple. And these look great!
ReplyDeleteThis is so creative! I am totally thinking these could be a new addition to my Christmas collection!
ReplyDeleteTwo things!
ReplyDeleteFirst, I LOVE that you're already decorated for Christmas! I've been listening to Xmas music since mid-October lol. I'd be decorated for it too but my hubby and I are hosting Thanksgiving and we decided it's best to keep the fall/pumpkin theme until the day after lol. I can't wait to switcherooo!
And Second, I LOVE your balls! Yes, I said it, I love your balls! Brilliant lady! I was just looking oversize and overpriced ornaments yesterday because we want to decorate one of the trees we have out front with those non breakables. So $$! I guess I'll be buying some bouncy balls and doing a little DIY project! Love it!
Chanity - these are beautiful! What a lovely way to decorate for the holiday. While I haven't quite broken out the decorations yet - they are still tucked away in boxes from the last time week moved - I will definitely look into adding these to the collection. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAren't they?! They really are my favorite piece of decor this year ♥
ReplyDeleteSame here! I have always loved the oversized ornaments but not the oversized price tags that went along with them. Hooray for cheap and easy DIY!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Keep me updated if you do! I would be curious to see if the process was just as easy for someone else :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
ReplyDeleteTrust me, the store-bought ones are wayyyy overpriced. DIY all the way girl!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I think so too ;)
ReplyDeleteRight?! I love them!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
ReplyDeleteThank you! They are my favorite!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Such an affordable, easy project!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I actually have switched the red bows out with a glittery royal blue since my indoor decor theme is blue, silver and white. I made some balls for the front porch and added the red bows there. Everyone loves them so far!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely! Super cheap and easy!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I love them ♥
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
ReplyDeleteYes! Super easy and affordable!
