OK... One more and I will be done!

Wiffle ball
cotton string (size of a shoe lace)
Scotch tape
Straws of different colors, cut in different lengths
colored plastic beads...

I tape a spot where I am going to cut the lace and leave it on until I am finished... it makes it easier to feed the lace through the ball, straws & beads.
I just feed the lace through the ball, tie a knot on each side of the lace, close to the ball. Then I alternate beads & straws... Tie knots on the ends, remove the tape.. and hang.

Here is what it looks like:





So let's see what you come up with...

I've made similar things, but this one looks really fun! I need to have a toy making day soon...

That is so cute! Looks like a spider! I am going to make Ruby one in just a minute. Thanks so much for the idea!

So did you make it?
How did she like it?

I like the look of this one too. Very clever.

Denise, I've made this for Echo before. It is her most FAVORITE toy! Here's a pic of her playing with her's:
