Twine Balls

I saw this idea for making Pottery Barn style decorative balls on V and Co.'s blog and thought it looked awesome, so I gave it a try. They were super easy to make, and I love them! Here's my tutorial:
Supplies:
Twine
Styrofoam balls
Hot glue gun

You start by making a little coil of the twine and hot gluing it to the ball:
 
Then you just keep putting little dabs of hot glue around the edge and twirl the twine around, spiraling all the way around the ball:
 
 
Once you've wrapped the whole ball, cut off the end, hot glue it down and viola! Piece of cake.
As you can see, I tried spray painting one of them, but didn't really like how it turned out.
This is perfect for the not-so-crafty!
