- Gather your materials. You will need yarn, a plastic gumball machine bubble, a while bunch of tiny treasures, and a length of ribbon.
- Fill the bubble with small items. This one is filled with beach glass. Close the end of the yarn in the plastic bubble.
- Wrap the yarn around the plastic bubble until it is covered.
- Hold an item in place on the side of the ball and wrap yarn around it to secure it in place. You may need to hold items while you make the first few wraps so that it doesn't slide or pop out.
- Once the first item is secure, you can add another item. Continue adding items and wrapping them in place until your ball reaches the desired size.
- If you are using scrap yarn, join the pieces together with a square knot and continue wrapping.
- When the ball is complete, make sure it doesn't unravel prematurely by wrapping it with a length of ribbon and tying a pretty bow. If desired, you can embellish it further by adding silk flowers, a brooch, or other decorative items to the bow.
