Cotton Batting Rag Ball Tutorial

Alot of you asked me how these rag balls were made after see them on display chain.I already made up a ton so I'm not going to make more so here is a super easy tutorial so you can make your own.... You'll need some nappy cottom batting some of you call it warm and natural...Some jute string...A bowl with coffee stain ( I use instant coffee and water) I added some cinnamon but you don't need to it's optional...A cookie sheet covered in Aluminum foil...Preheat oven to warm or around 225

Cut pieces of batting big pieces for big or smaller for little ones. Wad up into a ball (no trick here just wading like a piece of paper) Wrap the ball in jute by twisting sparsely around the Wad.Tie jute in knot.It won't look perfect yet. Now dip the ball in your coffee mix.Smooth any lose tips on the batting by pressing a little while wet it should lay tight now. After dipping put on foil covered cookie sheet and bake till dry normally about 45 minutes just check them may take a little longer or a little less.I also like to turn mine once in a while to get more even grunge.See super easy. Warm Blessings!~Amy
