Spun Cotton Balls, Vintage-Style Craft Shapes, Select by Size
Spun cotton balls for craft projects available in 13 different sizes from 6mm to 50mm in diameter. Choose your desired size and quantity from the dropdown menu.
These terrific shapes are made out of tightly spun cotton fiber which can be painted, glittered, and embellished. They are made in Germany by spinning cotton tissue on a lathe, forming it into various shapes. These dense "pressed paper" balls make great starters for vintage-style ornaments or decorations. Each ball has a single hole in one end.
Spun cotton craft shapes work well with acrylic craft paints, can be adhered with white glue or hot glue, and can even be used as a form for polymer clay projects. It's a versatile craft supply, made of all natural materials. The surface texture is similar to watercolor paper.
Bulk quantities are also available for sizes 6mm through 50mm.
These spun cotton balls are available in the following sizes: 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 18mm, 20mm, 25mm, 30mm, 35mm, 40mm, 45mm, 50mm.
