Once this step is done you can fill it with whatever you want: tinsel, paint, paper balls, crumpled paper, small twigs from your Christmas tree… You can also paint them with spray or paint. The balls do not have to be round; you can also use them in different shapes and sizes to give your decoration more dynamism.
Christmas balls of pompoms
You can do them in various ways. If you opt for fur pompoms, you should take a ball that you do not use and cover it with the fabric of your choice, be it terry cloth, fur, velvet… If you opt for wool, you can make a normal pompom, in the color of your choice and leave a piece of wool to hang. If you make them in different colors, it will give a childish and cheerful touch to your fir tree. If, on the other hand, you want your tree to be elegant, opt for a combination of two colors, for example, pearl gray and white.
Paper Christmas balls
You can also take advantage of newspapers or magazines that you have at home and recycle. Take an old Christmas ball or one that you want to redecorate and make chariots with the papers. Glue them around the ball, making parallel rows with white glue. You can leave them like this and they will be very original or you can choose to paint them later.
Painted Christmas balls
If you are a handyman and you are good at painting, you can also choose to take a ball and decorate it with paint to your liking. Choose gold, silver, glitter… All these colors are ideal for because they are the most festive. You can also incorporate stickers. Keep in mind that they will be uneven, but therein lies the beauty of the artisan product. If you are going to do this, we recommend that you choose balls of the same color, even if they are of different sizes so that, even if the paint is different, the background color is the same and is more harmonious.
Cardboard Christmas balls
These types of balls are extraordinary and develop the creativity of young and old. Get some paper plates and some white construction paper. On said cardboard draw a large circle and simulate as if it were a Christmas ball. Then, paint it with the colors that you like best and stick your “ball” on the cardboard. The result will be a most original decoration
Fabric Christmas balls

Then you can cover a ball -this is the easiest way- or you can take the fabric and fill it with paper or rice, close it making a bag with a bow that you like and if you are going to hang, add a string. You can choose gold fabrics with elegant prints or traditional plaids that work so well in Christmas decorations.
Christmas balls of beads
Take a piece of cloth, put rice in it making a sack and give it a round shape. Then take needles and thread the beads with which the balls. Once a few needles are done, poke them into the balls. We recommend that you do a few, because the thicker it is, the better it is aesthetically.
Sequin Christmas balls

Patchwork Christmas balls
Take a ball of pore pan and draw the grooves that will serve as guides and then put the fabric through that slot. Choose the different pieces of fabric that you are going to use decorate the ball and cut them in the measurements of the grooves. If the joints are too visible or it looks regular on you, you can always hide it by sticking velvet or satin ribbons of some color on the joints.
Christmas balls with message
For example, you can paint a ball with matt black paint and then write with white markers or do it the other way around, paint them white and write the messages in black. You can also combine both for an elegant decoration in black white or make them personalized with the name of a loved one.
