Christmas ornament balls are one of the easier decorations to make with crepe paper.

Once you have chosen your color, cut a piece of crepe paper large enough to cover it and attach the crepe paper to the ball with clear drying glue. You will also need a way to hang the ball. We recommend you place a small hole in the top of the ball before you wrap it with the crepe paper. Thread an ornament hook through the top so you can hang it when it is finished. Be careful not to cut your fingers on the hook.
Once you have it covered in the crepe paper add some glitter or make a design with beads. If you choose to make large ornaments you can hang them from doorways or even on your porch.

You will need windowsill boxes, some green square Styrofoam to insert the flower stems into and the paper flowers. You will of course also need a book on how to make paper flowers, crepe paper and a few other tools and supplies. Once you have them all you can start making your flowers. When you have finished the flowers and placed them in the windowsill container you have the option of placing them in the window sill, or make a little garden in a corner of the room. The little garden is my favorite. For this you should use round planters. Plastic or ceramic will work just fine. Place your flowers usa in the containers and try to use an assortment of flowers and be sure to make some of the stems a bit longer so all of your flowers are not the same size.
