Instructions

1. Pin red velvet ribbon in two perpendicular lines around the foam ball, sectioning the ball into four equal parts.

2. Pin 9 mm silver ribbon in two perpendicular lines between the red ribbon, sectioning the ball into eight equal parts.

3. Trace all ribbons with 5 mm black sequins.

4. Paint the remaining visible foam with glitter glue. You may need several coats.

5. Once the glitter is dry, add the hanging ribbon and bow on the top of the ornament. Thread a large silver sequin onto the corsage pin, then the hanging ribbon, and then the bow, in that order. I used both 6 mm silver ribbon and red velvet in the bow. Alternate two loops of red, then two or silver, and so on.

6. Next, thread a green sunburst onto a corsage pin, then a pearl bead, then a silver kaleidoscope, and pin to the center of the red velvet ribbon.

7. Repeat step 6 on the remaining three sides of the ball and on the bottom.
