Whether you want to create floral arrangements, hanging ornaments, or decorative displays, decorating polystyrene balls allows you to add your personal touch. In this blog post, we will explore various creative ways to cover and embellish polystyrene balls to transform them into stunning works of art.

Materials You Will Need

  • Polystyrene balls in various sizes
  • Decorative paper or fabric
  • Acrylic paint
  • Glitter
  • Ribbon or twine
  • Hot glue gun
  • Scissors
  • Embellishments like beads, sequins, or buttons

1. Paper or Fabric Covering

One of the simplest ways to decorate polystyrene balls is by covering them with decorative paper or fabric. To do this:

  1. Cut your chosen paper or fabric into small squares or rectangles.
  2. Apply a thin layer of glue to the surface of the polystyrene ball.
  3. Place the paper or fabric onto the glued surface, smoothing out any wrinkles or air bubbles.
  4. Repeat this process, covering the entire surface of the ball.
  5. Allow the glue to dry completely before moving on to any additional embellishments.

2. Painting and Glittering

If you prefer a more colorful and sparkly look, painting and glittering your polystyrene balls is a great option. Follow these steps:

  1. Apply a base coat of acrylic paint to the polystyrene ball, using a brush or sponge.
  2. Let the paint dry completely.
  3. Apply another layer of paint in a different color or create a pattern using multiple colors.
  4. Once the paint is dry, you can add a touch of sparkle by applying a thin layer of glue to specific areas and sprinkling glitter over them.
  5. Shake off any excess glitter and allow the glue to dry.

3. Embellishing with Ribbons and Beads

Ribbons and beads can add texture and visual interest to your decorated polystyrene balls. Here’s how to incorporate them:

  1. Using a hot glue gun, apply a small amount of glue to the desired area on the polystyrene ball.
  2. Press one end of the ribbon onto the glue and wrap it around the ball, securing it with small dots of glue along the way.
  3. For beads or sequins, thread them onto a thin wire or embroidery floss and poke it into the polystyrene ball to create a decorative pattern.
  4. Experiment with different ribbon patterns and bead arrangements to achieve the desired look.

Decorating polystyrene balls can be an enjoyable and fulfilling creative activity that allows you to express your artistic side. Whether you choose to cover them with decorative paper, paint them in vibrant colors, or enhance them with ribbons and beads, the possibilities are endless. So, grab your supplies, let your imagination run wild, and start creating beautifully decorated polystyrene balls that will add charm and personality to your home.
