Styrofoam Wall?

Yep you read it right. I had this wall upstairs and I needed something BIG to fill it up and I didn't want to spend a lot of money on something I just sorta liked so I made a filler until I find something I love. It was so easy. I couldn't find paper that I LOVED but this worked... You get 12 x 12 scrapbook paper, Styrofoam sheets (also 12 x 12, I bought a 12 x 36 and cut it) and enough ribbon to wrap around each one. Glue... well I read to use spray glue, not the best idea it eats the Styrofoam so I re-did most of them with a glue stick and it worked much better. This is where I got the idea, I really loved the coffee filter wall art too... I am considering doing it above my bed. Just a side note... mine didn't cost $5.00. I got the Styrofoam sheets at Roberts and they were $5 or $6 dollars and I had to buy 3. But I never checked the dollar store. When you don't live by these stores it makes it hard to hit up all the places you need to.
Me and Jill have been crafting, well she has been trying to get me to craft so I've joined the fun. We made these balls out of coffee filters, they are alot like Maci's rose balls but not, and I'm sure alot less time involved! I dont know where Jill got the idea for these balls from, but we used wiffle balls and hot glued them in the holes. We put a pencil eraser in the middle of the filter and shoved it in the hole. Then you spray paint them. I've seen them done just on Styrofoam balls and pinned in, this makes a much fuller look (here).



We also found these on a blog and loved them. We were originally going to do a bat or something 'Halloween' but then we decided we wanted something we could leave up the whole season so we went with the crow. I think they are sooo cute and the only cost... $1.00!!! Go HERE. We used black paint... well we first used brown and it looked like blood so we went over it with black and it looked much better. We also don't own a Cricut so we just found a silhouette that was easy to cut and printed it offline.
