Materials:
- crepe paper (I used 1-3/4 to 2" wide cut in half)
- glue
- scissors
- trinkets, candy, surprises of all different shapes and sizes and pliability
- decorative stickers and ribbons

Add a drop of glue when you change colors.
Keep wrapping and adding treats, alternating sizes of treats to make a round shape and layering as much crepe paper is needed for padding!
Keep wrapping and adding as much as you like! When you finish, you can decorate it with a simple foam sticker like I did or really jazz it up with ribbon and glitter! The sky's the limit! They can be the size of tennis balls or basketballs!!
Some ideas for Surprise Balls:
Birthday Party favors instead of treat bags
Wedding or Bridal Shower favors
Hanukkah
Stocking Stuffers
Theme Ideas:
Valentines Day: candies
Gardeners...seed packets, plant trinkets like watering meters, small clay pot
Travelers: luggage tags, eye shades, gum for take off and landing, ear buds

Music lovers: I-tunes gift card, ear buds, sheet music, guitar picks
