All I needed for this project were some foam balls, quilt batting and a hot glue gun.
Starting with a square cut section of quilt batting, I placed a foam ball in the center on top of some hot glue.
I then began wrapping the sides of the batting up and around the ball, gluing as I went. I made sure to pull a bit on the batting so that is was nice and tight to the ball before gluing in place. Just keep wrapping and pulling, until one side of the ball has a clean, finished look and all of your mess is at the back. At that point you can trim off any excess batting and glue down the remaining edges.
You may have some overlap or seams here and there, but as long as you pull snugly the finished ball will overall be smooth and pretty.
And there you have it, a basket of faux snowballs for your winter decor!
