DIY WHITE MDF REINDEER

White MDF reindeer...



this would look so cute with a single bauble hanging from his antlers..


DIY CHRISTMAS KISSING BALL

Oooh I made several of these earlier this year,

but this Christmas kissing ball is devine.



They are so easy...
you will need (direct links for everything you need are below)
a flower punch
lots and lots of pearl head pins
(floristry pins are great because they are shorter)
thin white card
ribbon
and a polestyrene ball

I sat in front of the Tv making these.
just layer two punch out flower shapes ontop of each other
push a pin through the middle and into the ball
bend the petals up alittle so you can put them closer together and fill the ball
