This impressive ball is a little over 24'' wide and is great for decorating outside and in. You could hang this from your porch, even add lights to it so it looks like a big glowing Christmas ornament. You won't miss this even if you're far away.  If you don't have anywhere to hang it from, it also can be placed atop a large vase filled with decorative filler. We recommend our Wire Balls, a great filler that adds plenty of color!
The skill level for this is beginner to expert, we follow every step you'll need to create this statement piece. Great if you want to learn how to use a work ball frame!

This project took our experienced designer about an hour, so for a beginner it may take longer. The finished ball will run you about $63, but you get a lot of bang for your buck, the ball is quite large, and will last many seasons. If you want to cut the price or simply do not have enough room for a ball this large, We also carry 12-inch work balls, and you can move to the 10-inch size mesh and using smaller poofs & bows. If you want to go larger, we also have the 24 inch work balls.
