It's hard to believe that push pins and styrofoam could make such a pretty Christmas craft, but just try it! Christmas is a time to celebrate family, and handmade ornaments for the tree are fun crafts for the whole family, like these Candy Cane Reindeer, these Beaded Ornaments, or the beautiful Sparkling Snowball Ornament below.

Materials

• plastic push pins - white or clear
• small styrofoam ball

• satin ribbon
• glitter spray (optional)

Instructions

1.
Insert pushpins into the Styrofoam ball until it is completely covered. (Using small balls will make this less tedious for children.)
2.
Make a loop with the satin ribbon for hanging and use one of the pushpins to secure the loop into the ball.
3.
Lightly spray with glitter spray to add a sparkling effect.
4.
When the glitter is dry, hang this pretty ornament on your tree!

Tips

• You may be able to find kid-friendly non aerosol glitter spray (pump bottle). If not, an adult will need to use an aerosol spray.
