    Susiecm3 your halloween tree is fantastic. I would love to make one for a halloween party on Satruday. What did you use to stick the eyeballs in? Can you give me a run down of how you made it?
    Thanks so much.

    Basically plastic cup, filled it with clay, pencil inserted then polystyrene ball on top then sprayed back [URL="[URL=http://s1140.photobucket.com/albums/n575/susiewalker3/?action=view&current=39fd8ac1.jpg][IMG]http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n575/susiewalker3/th_39fd8ac1.jpg[/IMG][/URL]"][/url]th_39fd8ac1.jpg, I then just used cocktail sticks, i then just used some of that spider web stuff you get and some cake flags in top, did not want to spend a fortune as it was only for kids and I knew no one would take that much notice :)

    Hi, DH and I just watched the youtube allsorts tutorial and want to make one.

    Have been looking on ebay and polystyrene balls seem quite expensive. What size in mm do I need and where is a good place to get them.

    Thanks.

    I bought an oasis ball from Hobbycraft, they also sell polystyrine balls. I didn't look at the measurements, but chosee the medium sized one they had in store.

    I just went to the florist to ask if they have the polysteirine(sp) balls and they were going to charge me £7 each:eek: saw some small ones at the range but too small pack of 6 for £1 and saw some foam snowflakes, surely it must be easier to find them?
    Off to google where my nearest hobbycraft is....
