Creative Space: Paper Balls

I've been busy for the last couple of weeks getting ready for an event we're 
having tonight in the Mr's shop... it's been a regular paper ball fest around these parts ;) 


They really are very easy to make and the download has three different sizes.
I mostly made the large size for hanging from the ceiling, which involved
printing off the store logo on twelve A4 sheets of card and then printing the
shape on the back before cutting them out and assembling them together in a ball.


If you'd like to make some yourself, I found the downloads via How About Orange
They really are super easy (but be prepared with lots of replacement inks for your 
printer if you're going to print out patterns on the card ;)



The black and white ones I made with 200gsm card and the green ones are 
special card I found at the stationers which was 230gsm. These heavier card ones 
were a lot harder to assemble, so if you're having a go I'd recommend the 200gsm.


Yes, we do have a Hills Hoist in the middle of our shop ;)


Hope you've had a great creative week... see more spaces here.
