Today's Takeaway: Balloon Ornament

Did any of you watch "Celebrity Holiday Homes" that aired on HGTV this week?? It featured three event stylists who decorated a different celebrity's home for Christmas: Trisha Yearwood, Sherri Shepherd and Brooke Burke. Each design was, of course, spectacular. The white Christmas theme done in Brooke Burke's house was my favorite... BUT I loved this idea that designer Michael Russo used when putting together Sherri's decor! The ornament in the photo above was made by spray painting a balloon and then simply wrapping ribbon around it! LOVE IT! So smart because most of the time you can't hang something that large because it's too heavy. You can certainly hang a balloon from a ceiling fan, railing, whatever...! I can even see using this idea for a New Year's Eve party--create the NY Times Square crystal ball!
