Who doesn’t love a good old-fashioned snowball fight? If you’re lacking in the snow department, we’ve got the solution. These super adorable yarn snowballs are perfect for an indoor snowball battle. All you need for this DIY project is white yarn, scissors, and a book. Start by placing the yarn’s end inside the book and closing the book to hold the yarn in place.

Next, begin to wrap the yarn around the width of the book. The more yarn you wrap, the fluffier your snowball will be. Be sure not to wrap your yarn to tight or you won’t be able to get it off of the book. Once you have your desired amount of fluff, cut the yarn. Next, without unwrapping your yarn, remove the yarn from the book. Wrap the end of the yarn around the center, creating a bow. Finally, cut the loops on both ends to complete your indoor snowball. Repeat the process until you have enough for battle!
