Rag trees

I've just made a couple of these. Very simple to do and quite quick. Cut random pieces of cloth into squares about 2cm square and poke them into a polystyrene ball with something like a stylus. You need it pointed but not sharp. Cover the ball all over and then either poke a hole at the top, put a drop of glue in the hole and push a knotted loop of ribbon in for a bauble or push a length of dowel in the bottom for a tree. To make it stand up I bought a pack of plastic champagne glasses from the pound shop and used the bases, which just pop off, pushed on to the bottom of the dowel.
