This looks like such a great, easy idea! I am wondering if you stuff it with filling, or just leave it without anything? I would fill it as I go, making sure it stays in a ball shape for a long, long time! You could make these in any color to match your tree and other Christmas decor.

Its still a bit early to think about Christmas, but I have an idea for this project. I like to make up craft kits for my grandchildren to work on when we get together at Thanksgiving. That helps keep the little ones occupied until dinner is ready, and they can proudly show off their own handicraft skills. Im definitely adding this project to the bundle of craft kits for this year.
