Valentine's Day foam ball/chenille stem party decorating

On a recent trip to Hobby Lobby, they had a flyer devoted to party decorating with chenille stems, AKA pipe cleaners.  They showed fun project ideas that won’t break the decorating bank, and my favorite one was using foam balls.  I must confess, I saw this before Christmas, and so meant to make ornaments out of them, but eh…
