Patriotic Yarn Balls - Super Easy DIY
Crafts are fun for all ages whether you are a kid or an adult. It is fun to take a few simple things and show your creative side and if you can do it with a child it is even better! It is especially fun around the holidays
Inflate balloons so they are about four inches in diameter, and tie a knot securely at the opening.Mix two parts glue to one part water in a shallow pan. Regular white household glue is all you need. Do not worry about measuring the glue and water exactly. Just estimate the amounts, as putting glue in a measuring cup can get very messy. Keep stirring the glue mixture until the consistency is smooth and even.
There are couple of ways to go about that project. You can either submerge your yarn in a glue mixture before you wrap your balloon or do it after you finish wrapping. Personally I prefer second option when you wrap balloon first and then “bathe” …ha ha ha It is less messy for me.
That is my preferred method...Wrap and then bathe 
Now we need to wait …sometimes it even takes 48h to dry completely but it is ok we can work on other projects.
When yarn dries on the balloon you can pop them and remove them from the yarn globes
These yarn globes make great garlands, or can simply be displayed in a bowl as a table decoration
