I got the inspiration for this ornament from a craft magazine a few weeks ago. It's a styro-foam ball covered with little 0.75" paper circles and push-pins. I used a great scrapbooking paper found at Micheal's craft store. I wish I had a circle punch of any size for this project. Cutting all those little circles with my trusty old scissors was kinda rough. I started with circles that were probably twice this size but when I realized how small the balls were I had to start over. I was planning on putting buttons on each circle, too, but in hindsight I'm glad that I didn't. It is a very charming ornament and I cannot wait to make more with different papers. Everything is removable, also, including the ribbon. Next I'm going to do one that is all covered in these little embellishment flowers with the buttons. :) Stay tuned!
