I made dragon eggs!!! Ok technically they are supposed to be pine cones but they definitely look like what I imagine dragon eggs look like.
Start with some squares of paper
Or alternately short lengths of ribbon (I used sticky back ribbon for extra ease)
Fold your ribbon or paper so you have a peak and pin them onto your styrofoam ball
Start with four “scales” all pointing towards one another, overlapping them in the center
Then cover your outside corners with four more
After that you can just start spiraling around with your “scales” being sure to overlap and cover your pins
It can be tedious
But so worth it
The if you want them as orniments simply find a means to hang them
For my first one (the ribbon dragon) I found one of the old drawer pulls from my infamous desk
I (ok my dad cause I was a scardey cat) drilled all the way through, I used some guilding wax on it and strung some twine through.
Then I just hot glued the repurposed handle to the top of the ball to create a hangar

These are way too cool! The drawer pull and the twine are a perfect look together. Do you know what the berries are in the background? Just curious 😉

No idea, I had always just assumed that was a holly bush (we have lots of it here) but upon closer inspection it doesn’t have quite so pointed leaves, as you can tell I don’t do the yard work.

Hehe, I was wondering if it was edible. I love plants that grow “wild” and are safe to eat. Free food! 😀

I wouldn’t trust it since the birds nor deer seem to eat it. Though it’s super fun when they eat the holly this time of year and get drunk because the berries have started to ferment on the tree 😛
