Marshmallow ornaments

My mom made these with us when my siblings and I were very young. I made them with my oldest daughter when she was little and my two daughters and I made them in January of this year before we put our tree away :)  December is always so busy that we never had a chance to make them before Christmas. The bonus is, I wrote this post after we made them last season! {I've been itching to post this!} But because I wrote it in January, the watermarks are my old ones. Oh well.

Here they are after we made them:


Clearly my 9 year old wasn't too enthused to make it. Oh well. Probably because the excitement of Christmas had long passed.

To make them, here's what you need:


First put a sequin on a straight pin, pierce a mini marshmallow through the center so the sequin is now on top of the marshmallow. Then you stick the pinned marshmallow in the Styrofoam ball.


I made mine this way:


As you can see in step 2, I initially was going to continue going around in a horizontal circle, putting the next row centered between two marshmallows of the previous row. But I changed my mind to make a verticle circle of marshmallows. Once those were done I  started filling up the  spaces between until it was completely full.

I found a large gap and decided that would be a good place to put the ornament hanger. I took some ribbon  and made a loop and stuck a pin through it as shown in step 2 below.


Then I put the pin through the styrofoam ball to form a loop to hang the ornament from a tree.  After I hung it on the tree I discovered it needed a little more support so I added two more pins where the arrows are pointing below:


This is one of my fondest childhood memories, making these sith my Mother and brothers and sisters. And now I have memories making them with my children


Merry Christmas!
