Description:	Recycle your yarn and thread scraps into a beautiful temari ball. Temari (hand ball in Japanese) is a folk craft born in ancient Japan to amuse and entertain children with an embroidered toy thread ball. Easy patterns make quick and unique Christmas ornaments. Discover how in the book Japanese Temari, A Colorful Spin on an Ancient Craft.
Crafty Tips:	Keep a large glass jar or vase near your stitching chair. Toss in yarn and thread bits for a colorful decoration and reminder of your projects. When the jar is full, use the contents to make a temari ball. Stuff a handful into an old sock, wrap with soft yarn, then thread, and stitch a temari design.
