I used medium sized round styrofoal balls, a bundle of colored twine from Dollar Tree, and cut up cinnamon sticks, along with a glue gun.I started by gluing the end of the twine at the base of the ball. Then started gluing it around in a swirl...
And just kept going all around the ball until I got to the top...
Now to be honest, I originally thought I was going to do apples.... BUT... a little light bulb went off above my head as I got to the top and I decided to do pears instead... So as I completed the ball, I started making a swirl on top of my first layer and went out far enough to start a pear shape, then went back on top of THAT layer.... so this would be a third layer of twine (are you with me?)
I just went back and forth, making each layer a little smaller until I got the desired height and shape of a pear! Then I stuck a piece of cinnamon stick on the top!How fun would it be to have a green set as well, along with some red apples? Might have to make a little trip back to Dollar Tree to see what colors they have left!Yellow and Green Pears NOW AVAILABLE in my Etsy Shop HERE!

Very cute! I love ideas that I can get my older kids to do-then when they are displayed around the house they have a sense of pride... would put these pears anywhere!

Love them! I just bought that same twine the other day, even though I didn't have a project for it. I guess I just wanted 50 ft (or whatever it was) of something for a buck. Anyway, I think I'm totally going to copy these!
Love, love, love your pears! I really like the twine color you used. Colorful, rustic, fresh and elegant. Thanks for sharing and I'm going to link something up now!
