The trick to this ornament is good symmetry. If you don’t get your original 4 sections drawn perfectly then the design will be off. Before you start, make sure your ball is not warped or damaged.

Variation 1
My first variation eliminates the small triangles in the design. In step 2 and 3 of the directions, set your compass at 3.5 cm rather than 4 cm. If you are using a foam ball with a 8 cm diameter, the small triangles in the design will disappear.
Variation 2
My second variation looks all together different from both the original and the 1st variation. I was really surprised how it turned out. In step 2 and 3 of the directions, set your compass at 5 cm and voila…
As you can see in the picture above, I drew the eyes a little too small and the mouth should be higher, closer to the nose. I also had a problem with the glue coming through the black fabric. I have since stopped gluing the fabric to the ball with all of my ornaments which eliminates this problem.
