- Metallic finish spray paint
- Small & medium plastic cups
- Ribbon
- Snowflake decals
- Craft glue
How the Recreate
- Cut slits in the bottom of the plastic cups & spray paint them silver
- Glue the snowflake decals to some of the ornaments
- Feed the ribbon through the slits on the plastic cups & then glue to the top of each exercise ball
- For an added touch, tie more ribbon around the base of the cups on each ornament
