I have discovered temari balls. I know they have been around for a very long time. They are a old Japanese folk craft that has been gaining popularity again. There is quite an amount of work in one of these, using embroidery techniques to create a unique item. I found that they make an unusual handmade Christmas ornament. The standard designs for temari balls can be used with seasonal colors to make stunning Christmas baubles that can hung on the tree or used elsewhere as a Christmas decoration. The temari balls look great in a bowl or set near to candles. Using modern designs it is possible to create effects of snowflakes, flowers like poinsettias or stars, in fact anything that sets your creative fingers itching! Good luck.
