I went to my local Walmart and I found these red and green ornaments I really like. It's going to be perfect for creating this hanging ball.
We're going to take the ornament, making sure all of the tops are secured, and if they're not, you can just come back in with a little bit of hot glue, and I'm just going to dip that ornament top into the skillet and that's actually going to secure it even more.
Then, what we're going to do is just poke it right into the ornament. As you can see, it creates a much larger ornament than using the smaller ones and all we have to do is just alternate between each color.
The cool thing about this ornament ball is that you can do it in whatever color scheme you like. There are so many different colored ornaments out there and so many other choices and selections and you can also use unusual shapes as well.
I'm just alternating, so we have somewhat of a pattern but if you're using the smaller ones it doesn't really make a huge difference. I just took the ornaments and poked them throughout, that way we have our guidelines and we don't have to worry about doing it.
As we add each ornament so now what we can do is we can come back in with our next layer. And again, as I said, don't worry about any of the gaps at this point we are going to come back in with some extra little ornaments.
We have one final ornament left to add but it's not going to fit perfectly in between so we are going to need to add an artificial stem. You can also do this to every single one (we actually showed that in the last video we did last year for Hometalk) so we're going to just let that sit for a minute or two while it hardens up and then we'll poke that right into the styrofoam.
Here are the little ornaments that I showed you guys at the beginning and those are actually the smaller ones that we used for the entire ball last time.
And now, we're going to use those to fill any of the little gaps that we have in between the ornament. Add the ornaments where it's necessary, and it really depends on each and every ornament that you make because sometimes it's going to require more. Sometimes, it's going to require a little bit less, and if there are glue strings you can always pull them off after they've hardened.
Now, I just have a little length of wire and what I'm going to do is fold that so that we create a U or a pin. You can also use a floral pin for this. Then, just snip them slightly at an angle.
What we're going to do now is create a little knot and you want to tie it a couple of times to make sure it's not going anywhere. Take your scissors and snip off and excess. Cut yourself a nice long wire to hang it from a tree and I'm going to cover that real quick when I tie this. I like to have a single string instead of a loop so what I do is I just tie this to the branch so it’s like a tree branch, I just tie it right on and if I choose to move it elsewhere all I have to do is just snip off that wire and attach it somewhere else. So now that we have our little pin we're going to really close that up we don't need it super wide dip it in our glue skillet and find a little opening. Make sure it goes into the styrofoam and there you go. You have a nice long wire to hang it and you can also place this on a pole and create a topiary.
Now let's see what this looks like hanging up from my tree here. I absolutely love that we kept it in a traditional color scheme which just screams Christmas to me.
Thank you all so much for watching I hope this video inspired you I'm Nick Kreticos of Nick’s Seasonal Decor and you're watching me on Hometalk.

Maybe spray painting the white Styrofoam ball red or green would help with hiding the (white) on the Styrofoam ball!
I thought of that too at first, but spray paint is a lot of extra work.
You acrylic paint and foam brush, dries fast. You could even use black paint, or stuff some moss or garland pieces into openings. Pretty ball!
And also putting the wire before putting the ornaments
Gold or Silver spray☺
I don’t believe you can spray paint foam, it “melts” ..
Thank you for getting right to the craft and not blabbing about other things..beautiful
I agree. It's just so annoying when they blab on about anything 🙄
Could not agree more!!!!
Me too! Too much nonsense in other videos. I’m a fan now!
I agree that the styrofoam ball should have been light spray paint or spray a thinn coat of glue and then roll in glitter.
Cut your deco mesh using a woodburning tool, and it won’t fray at all 😉
Does it make the edges brown? Thanks
@@lou-anntedesco2567 If you do the wood burner use the correct respirator- dust masks won’t protect your respiratory system & adequate ventilation. I love the look of the mesh because it doesn’t fray, but haven’t researched which respirator to buy.
Poinsettia wreath is so fabulously perfect!!! Love it, love it, love it. Thanks.💞💞💞
It would really be cool if you could put some tiny lights, like rice lights woven in and through the ball. They have some with just the very small battery pack that you can squeeze to turn off and on. Unfortunately they don’t twinkle but I still think they would be great!!
Lights would be cool. Lights elevate any project and this one is already great. It would be more great.
I always thought MESH looked too busy looking but this is eye catching! I LOVE IT!! So easy too to make quickly! Thank you & have a great holiday!
I love this! I have a snowman theme this year. These would be beautiful in a silver, white and blue! I think I gotta make some!
❤️💜💚
That sounds a great theme bet it will look fabulous
I do snowmen every year with a few Santa's and Christmas things. Christmas is just one month but snowmen can stay up all winter.❤❤😊
These are cool idea. You could use up ornaments that have lost the hanger. If you go to a thrift store and buy a gravy warmer that works to. I’m going to try using a Fondue set. We have so many coming into our thrift store.
I didn't even know there is a thing called a glue skillet😃
Tinsel garland would be cute too to fill in the styrofoam ball gaps I’ve made a poinsettia wreath before. 😊. Thanks for sharing
Great decor! Love it! Love both the ornaments are beautiful !
Great ideas beautiful 🤩 decor ❤😊💜🥰
Might be worth it to paint the foam ball a dark green or black to stop seeing white foam through the xmas balls.
Tuck some stencil garland down in those holes or maybe some tree garland.
Love it
I was disappointed that you didn't have instructions for the wreath. It is beautiful.
I would spray paint the white foam red or green before adding the ornaments so you can't see any of the foam.
Unless spray melts the styrofoam!
Spray paint ruins styrofoam.
That hot glue skillet is what inspires me the most! 🤯 Brilliant!
Both are beautiful.
Thank you absolutely beautiful I will be making some of these gratefully appreciated
Love it and thank you for your god given talent
What adhesive is in the skillet? Its so pretty! Love it!
These projects were so beautiful!! Thanks.
Now this first project is the prettiest I've seen yet of all art projects
It works is an abstract Christmas. Good job.
Absolutely lovely!🌸
Thanks for sharing.🙏🏽
I love the traditional green and red too! This was really nice and I am going to make one tomorrow. Thanks for the idea and inspiration!
I love this idea and that glue pot is a game changer!
Omgee, a glue skillet! Genius!
Love the design!
So pretty
Beautiful project! Thank You.
Love these decorations.
Friendly Tip From one crafter to another.... if you have a heat gun, you can use it (From a distance not to melt styrofoam or craft project) to get rid of all the glue stringy things. Also, when adding another glue stick to glue gun, dab a tiny amount of hot glue to end of new stick, push into gluegun to add to the glue stick inside the gluegun, this helps to stop glue sticks from falling out. Cheers 🎄🎅☃🎄
Just a little idea for the ball. You might try to glue some green moss on the white ball and then glue on the balls. It will hide the white background. Also, you can buy green styrofoam balls.
Very cute Thx :)
The wreath looks simple and elegant’

Beautiful decor
I am going to try this but use it as a topper! So cute thanks!
My fave the poinsettia!.🙂🎄
Really nice
That’s lovely, thank you😊
Cute!
If you tie it to a tree branch make sure not to leave it around the branch. The tree will grow around it so it weakens the branch.
I just googled Nick's Seasonal Décor, I'm so happy you are in New Hampshire. I can't wait to tell my knitting/crafting group on Monday, We can do a road trip. We are in Groveland MA. Looking forward to seeing you.
QUESTION: What is a glue skillet? Type of glue? Thanks!
I had same question lol
Meow
Hopefully he will answer you, but other creators have said it’s just heated up glue sticks in a small skillet for ease.
if you have a small crockpot or old electric skillet you just use it to melt the glue sticks. You don't have to buy a specific "glue pot" at Michaels, Hobby Lobby or Walmart, you can go to Goodwill & get a used small crock & it does the same thing.
Glue in a crock pot.
That is very, very pretty!!! Love it
Love it💕🎄
Love them!🇦🇺❤️
They are really beautiful Thanks 👍 for sharing your video young man you have a wonderful day 🤩🐢
Oooh love it Ty for the inspiration!! You gained a new sub from UK! 🎉✨👋
Beautiful very beautiful 💖💖🇨🇱
Omg Loveee your channel ❤
The poinsettia wreath is and appears simple for a beginner like myself.
Love the ornament ball. What kind of glue is in the pan that you are using?
Nick I love your creative mind. I am older and my creative mind seems to be a little stagnant....lol. thanks for all the inspiration I get from you. I watch almost all your videos. However I am a watcher not usually a commenter....hugs Sheryl from Greenwood Indiana 💙🎨💙
THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE YOUR GLUE SILLET TOO. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU. REALLY LIKE YOUR ORNAMENTS. 🎍🎅🌟💝👍✌
I really like the idea of your glue skillet. What glue do you use and also what device keeps it hot? Thx! I love these ideas.
glue pellets made specifically for the glue skillets. Do NOT try this with regular glue sticks or elec skillets/crock pots.
@@zoeemiko8149 I’m glad for the warning because that’s exactly (glue sticks & crockpot) what I thought was being used. Do you write glue skillet/pellets into the search engine to find it? I didn’t see it written in the description. Btw, thx for the info.
Love it thank you so much for sharing.
Sure wish this channel would shop anywhere but Wal-Mart and Hobby Lobby
@Daniel Hughes, find a channel whose shopping choices you approve of.
I was given a wreath one time and the hot glue didnt hold once it got cold. Is there different types?
Pretty
I like this I want to try and
Hi Nick ! I love it!!
I thought that ur first project was nice, but ur point centia is gorgeous!!!
Very nice
Reminds me of the atom displays in science class
😊💗🙏
What would you use such a large ornament piece like that for? Pretty, but where would you put it?
In yard ,, Or part as Center piece
What is a glue skillet? I LOVE & need this.
Use green foam ball or paint white balls
Nice
💜🌹💜🌹💜
Comment by Carmencita: Poinsettia.
What size Styrofoam ball?
What is a glue skillet?
GLUE SKILLET?? never heard of such a thing....what ? How??
Or use flower foam
It's a good idea but there is too much of the styrofoam ball visible.
What/where can I find that glue pot. TYI
It was very easy to do however space's bug me and I noticed that after hanging. Shouldn't that have been filled in with something to complete it? Just saying... 🎄🦌🎄
❤❤❤❤
Ouch !
And what is this glue?
:)
Just a suggestion, why don't you try painting the ball red oor green before you start to decorate it, I lve what you did but didn't like to see the white dshowing thrugh
What siize ball
Nice.... PROFESSIONAL floral designers showcase 🙄🙄🙄
@ OG Judy YES, you’re correct, Judy. Professional designer is exactly right. Nick sells products and designs he’s crafted.
Where do I buy a hot glue pot?? I burned myself really bad making a tree like this last year with my glue gun.
If you’re using hot glue you really don’t need the styrofoam ball.
@ Kathy Inman What would you be attaching the ornaments to?
@@themermaidstale5008 each other…it’s easy.
Do all white...not loving the colours
Looks like spider eggs.
