| Step 1 - Marking ball
| Using compass divide ball into 8 sections. |
|
|
| Step 2 - Cutting sections
| Carefully and slowly use craft knife to cut sections going about 1 cm deep. |
|
|
| Step 3 - Covering ball
Cut material into rectangles slightly longer and wider than each section.
Lay material on ball and gently push material into the cut line using a bank card or something similar - I actually used a phone top up card. |
|
|
| Step 4 - Neaten each section
| Using sharp scissors trim off any excess fabric. You can see red fabric cut back and green to do. Complete all sections. |
|
|
| Step 6 - Ribbon attachment
| Cut 4 lengths of ribbon and put a pin in half way along. Then push into ball but not all the way. Bring the ends up to the top and secure with a couple of pins. When you are happy push original pin on bottom all the way in. |

| Step 7 - Hanger
Make a loop to hang the bauble up and secure with 2 pins.
