The balloon 1 Wrap the styrofoam ball with lace, and pin in place. Completely cover the ball. 2 Wrap tinsel garland around ball two to three times, and pin in place. 3 Add decorations like Victorian scraps or a photograph using glue dots. 4 Wrap silver bullion around the ball to hold photo and to add texture.
Vintage tin basket 1 Drill three holes into the tin (you may also use an awl to poke holes if the tin is thin enough). 2 Cut three pieces of the ribbon the same length and tie the ribbon onto the tin, using the holes, exposing the tie on the outside of the basket.
Putting it together 1 Use pins to attach the ends of the ribbons to the bottom of the balloon. 2 Pin a ribbon loop to the top of the balloon to hang. 3 Fill the bottom of the tin with tinsel. Then have fun filling the tin with vintage goodies.
