Instead of attaching the hand-knit beaded lace edging to a commercial satin ornament ball, Mary M used a felted wool ball made by her daughter. How lovely and what I great idea, too, don't you think? Thank you Mary for sharing. p.s. I did ask Mary if her daughter made the felt balls for sale, but she does not. So you're on your own to make them yourself or buy from one of the sellers on Etsy selling wool dryer balls.
