Things You'll Need:
- 12 dried lotus seed pods
- 1 bag small red craft pom-poms
- 1 bag small green craft pom-poms
- Hot glue gun
- Glue sticks
- Flathead screwdriver
- Wire, ribbon, yarn or string
-
Step 1
Find a craft store that sells dried lotus seed pods. To save yourself a lot of time and frustration, call around to local craft stores in your area to have them check their inventory. If you're unable to find a craft store that sells the dried lotus seed pods locally you can find them for sale on craft websites.
-
Step 2
Plug in your glue gun and give it a few minutes to heat up. In the meanwhile, use a small flathead screwdriver, or similar implement of your choice, and pop out any seeds left in your dried lotus seed pods.
-
Step 3
Poke a hole through the top of each of your dried lotus seed pods so that you can string them later.
-
Step 4
Put a drop of hot glue into each of the empty holes in your dried lotus seed pods. Push in alternating red and green craft pom-poms and hold for a second to make sure they adhere. When you're finished, leave the dried lotus seed pods face up to dry for up to an hour.
-
Step 5
Sting 'em up! Once you've waited for your hot glue to set, use wire, ribbon, yarn or string to make your new dried lotus seed pod Christmas ornaments tree-ready. Just hang them up and wait for the compliments to come pouring in!
