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.

Designer Spotlight: Silverberry Designs

I was directed to a cross stitch pattern from Silverberry Designs for a recent post I was working on, and I knew that I needed to share them with you for one reason: cross stitch Clue. 

This re-creation of the Clue game board fits in a 10-inch frame, so it’s not really playable, but I still love it because I loved the game (and the movie) growing up. This pattern is 122 by 127 stitches, which comes out to 8.71 by 9.7 inches, or 22.1 by 23 cm, when worked on 14 count fabric. It uses 10 colors. 

It turns out this store has a lot of game related cross stitch patterns. You’ll find playing cards, billiard balls, a roulette table and a classic Nintendo controller. There’s a ouija board, and board games for Sorry, Scrabble and Trouble. So fun for a game room or anywhere else. 

The category that has the most patterns is holidays and religion, which is a hodgepodge of Christmas, July fourth and St. Patrick’s Day, with a Star of David, an Islamic crescent and star and some other things thrown in. 

There are also a large number of LGBTQ+ patterns, from Pride flags to rainbow hearts and peace signs, and lots of other rainbow designs. 

The “words & phrases” section includes bathroom rules, a blank monthly calendar, some snarky signs, teacher appreciation designs and more. You’ll also find a blank map of the United States you can stitch in as you travel, as well as more travel related designs, home and garden, holidays and celebrations, animals (hippo, owl, skunk, bald eagle, cat in leaves, etc.) and more. 

The page also sells supplies including 14 count Aida fabric in 12 colors, needles, floss, hoops and more. And they have a subscription box that includes a pattern and all the supplies you need to make it. (The pattern is a surprise but you can contact them to ask if you really must know before you order.)

Check out all the fun stuff at Silverberry Designs.
