I have a huge box of yarn in my craft room. I don’t even knit. My yarn stash is solely to make crafts with yarn.. I love the look of yarn balls, the endless possibilities of yarn colors and how they’re just an easy way to pull colors together. I even bought this birdcage to house my yarn balls…seriously.

As a member of the Glue Dots ® creative team, I’m always thinking of simple and clever ways to use up them Glue Dots®. Some months my creative ideas are flooding and some months I’ve got no clue. So, after using Glue Dots® to make about 1000 {kidding} yarn balls, the idea finally came to me to show you how to make yarn balls using Glue Dots®.
How to Make Yarn Balls
- Adhere Ultra Thin Glue Dot® on two sides of a styrofoam ball.
- Attach the end of yarn onto Glue Dot® and wrap yarn around ball adhering to the Glue Dot® on opposite side.
- Keep wrapping yarn around ball in various directions, overlapping yarn until the styrofoam is covered.
- Tuck end of yarn underneath a yarn layer.
What’s great about making Yarn Balls is not only is a simple craft, they’re perfect to add a little color in to your home for any season.
