We got enough snow here in the Pacific Northwest over the weekend to throw a few snowballs.
That’s about it.
A few snowballs.
I remembered that I had pinned a fun idea to one of my boards on Pinterest.

So, I grabbed some white yarn that I had on hand for another craft and started making yarn snowballs!
I didn’t take a photo of how to make the snowballs, but you can see a tutorial here.

{I like the idea for using yarn pom-poms for pretty packaging and other decorations}
I wrapped the yard around a piece od cardboard instead of my hand, and didn’t trim the balls, just left them “wild”.
It was really easy and only took about 20 minutes to make 10 snowballs.
I had a poster tube on hand from some art I recently ordered, so I put the snowballs in there.
I haven’t made a cute label for it, but plan to eventually.
So, if we don’t get anymore snow here in the Pacific Northwest we can still have a snowball fight anytime…indoors!
home is…a “snow” day project!

Love those snowballs…. do you remember the Christmas in July at Keuka Lake @ 2002 when T made “pillows” of flour for snowballs? What fun and what a mess!
I do remember that. We would have a lot of fun with that now that there are 6 more grandkids! Definitely an OUTDOOR activity, though.
Oh man, I wish I would have found this in December! I needed to make a ball for a santa hat. Great post!!
Love this idea! We don’t always get ‘proper’ snow here, so this is a great way for kids (of all ages…) to still get the fun of a snowball fight
