foam ball ornaments two ways

I bought a bag of styrofoam balls at the dollar store last year with the intent to make a few Christmas ornaments and finally this year I am getting around to it.

Here are the two I finished this week.

-the first is a cupcake:) I used a silicone cupcake holder (bought a 4 pack in the $ bins at Target this summer.), I took the Styrofoam ball-stuck a skewer in it so I could paint the top half with glue then rolled it in fake snow and stuck it in a jar to dry. After it had dried I hot glued it in the cupcake holder and glued the ribbon and cherry on top.

-the second I saw on a blog last year and bookmarked to try. I used a 1.5" circle punch and punched out dictionary pages, then folded/crumbled them using the end of a pencil and hot glued them on the ball. Next I used a straight pin to stick in the ribbon. I glittered a star and wrote "Peace on Earth and hot glued those two on as well.
