DIY Christmas Ball for the Bride and Groom

I wanted to make a special ornament

for my son and his new bride for their first Christmas together.

I researched Pinterest

and found a quick and simple way

to upcycle a wedding invitation

into a Christmas Ball.

Instead of using the wedding invitation (I only have one)

I decided to use the

Shower Invitation

from the Bridal Shower I gave them in July.

I simply cut the invitation

using a paper cutter for scrap booking,

Cutting the invitation horizontally,

trying to get each line contained in a separate cut....

Then I curled

each strip around the handle of a wooden spoon.

I purchased the plastic ball ornament

at Hobby Lobby for under $3.

I simply took off the silver top of the ball,

and dropped the strips in one by one,

replacing the top

and adding a coordinating ribbon to hang.

Wah-Lah!

Here's a better view,

so you can see their names.
