Party Game – How To Make A Saran Wrap Ball

January 8, 2021 by Shellie Wilson

Saran wrap balls have been around for a few years, but have taken off this past Christmas with lots of households using them as a gift-giving game. They are lots of fun! I made one a few years ago for an Easter Picnic, I made one for the adults with items wrapped around a wine bottle. The trick to making them fun is choosing small items that are easily hidden. I used the Saran wrap or Glad wrap as it is known in other countries to hide in small items. White-coloured items, like notes etc are easy to hide.

For example in my wine bottle Saran wrap ball I had scratch lotto tickets, a sample pack of mini moisturiser and 4 pack of earbuds from a hotel. Of course I added some good things too, mini perfume samples, a pen and some chewing gum, all very easy to hide under the bottle or flat against the bottle. So as we got down to the bottom, everyone thought the wine bottle was theirs.  Of course my version was for adults, but here are some variations of the Saran ball game you can make too. It’s used like a saran wrap pass the parcel and some of these blogs have created “Rules” and “Dice throwing” to add a little extra craziness to the Saran Wrap Ball game.

Etsy Spotlight – The Thomas Boys Shirt Sewing Pattern

This week in our Etsy Spotlight Series, we’re loving the timeless charm of the Thomas Shirt Sewing Pattern for boys. This versatile button-up pattern is perfect for every occasion—from backyard playdates to weddings and special celebrations.

We think this pattern really shines when paired with fun, bold prints—think quirky florals, vintage cars, tropical vibes, or even festive Christmas fabrics! It’s a fantastic way to let your fabric stash shine while creating something practical and adorable.

This pattern is a must-have for any sewing parent or grandparent. The design is polished enough for formal wear (wedding shirt, anyone?) but still comfy and easygoing for everyday use.

Tip: Try sewing it up in linen or lightweight cotton for summer, or use flannel for a cozy winter version.

Whether you’re sewing for your own kids or making gifts, the Thomas Shirt sewing pattern is a classic that’ll be on repeat.
