I love adding a bit of fun and creativity to holiday decor, and these Holly Berry Surprise Balls are the perfect touch! Not only do they look festive on the outside, but they also hide a little treat inside. It’s like giving two gifts in one—simple, sweet, and sure to surprise anyone!
For this project, you’ll need the following:
- Red crepe paper
- Small trinkets, candy, or toys (for the surprise)
- Green paper or felt (for the holly leaves)
- Scissors
- Glue stick or hot glue gun
Steps:
- Gather Your Surprises: Start by selecting the small goodies you want to hide inside the ball. These could be candies, tiny toys, or even little notes.
- Wrap the Surprise: Place your first surprise in the centre of a small piece of crepe paper. Keep wrapping the paper around, adding more surprises as you go, forming a ball shape. Make sure to wrap tightly so it stays together.
- Shape the Ball: Continue wrapping the crepe paper until your surprise ball reaches the desired size. You want it to look like a holly berry, so aim for a round shape.
- Add the Holly Leaves: Cut out holly-shaped leaves from your green paper or felt. Attach them to the top of the surprise ball with a bit of glue. This adds a festive finishing touch!
- Ready to Surprise!: Once your holly berry is fully assembled, it’s ready to give! Friends and family will have a blast unraveling the ball to reveal the treats inside.
You got it? These DIY Holly Berry Surprise Balls are so much fun to make and share! They’ll be a hit at any holiday gathering.
