Supplies Needed: 

• 3″ Styrofoam Ball
• 1 1/2″ Corsage Pins w/ Pearlized Head
• 8mm Multi Sequins
• Satin Ribbon
• Optional:  Clear Spray Paint

Directions for Making Marshmallow Ornaments:

1)  Add a 8mm Sequin & Mini Marshmallow to a Corsage Pin.

2)  Press Corsage Pin into 3″ Styrofoam Ball.  The stickiness from the marshmallow works as glue and holds the marshmallow in place.

3)  Continue steps 1 and 2 making sure to cover all of the styrofoam ball.

 4)  Cut a piece of Ribbon to about 8 1/2″ and make a loop.  Attach pin to ribbon.

5)  Press pin with ribbon into center of Styrofoam Ball.  Add Marshmallows around ribbon to secure and hide the end of the ribbon.

6)  The Marshmallow Ornament looks great if you attach the sequins in random order.  Try not to put the same colors next to each other.  Takes about 1 hour per ornament.

Optional:  Spray with Clear Spray Paint when finished.

Update:  It’s been nearly 2 years since we made this blog post and are happy to report our Marshmallow Ornaments are still looking great!
