Happy Day, Sweet Friends. I’m still working on Patriotic Decor for my home. These Fabric Balls, also known as Rag Balls were so easy to make. What I love most about this project is that they can be made for any season.

For this project I used Dollar Store Items and it cost under $5.00. It’s such a fun project and adds just the right amount of decorative elements to your home.

Step One:

Prepare your balls. I used swim balls and removed each of the tags.

Step two:

Prepare your fabric. I cute the fabric and then also tore the fabric. I liked the frayed edges and found tearing the fabric created this look. I chose to cut/tear my fabric in a variety of sizes, 1/4 inch, 1/2 inch and 1 inch.

Step three:

Use your glue gun and glue sticks to adhere the material to the balls.
