    Hi all,

    I made a mini tutorial about how to make fun Christmas balls. I like to see a picture when you have made them!

    I made these in Girl Scouts back in the late 70's! Still have them today! LOVE these! We used an orange peeler to 'push' in the fabric.

    Really cute and safe for children to make. If I ever get any grandkids, we'll do these!

    I inherited some fabric, but it smells like moth balls is there any way to get the smell off the fabric?
