Skill level: Beginner

Crafting tips: For the stem pieces, place the hot glue on the ball, and then press the stem in with your nail to get it as tightly as possible. You’ll also want to line up the tips of the strips with the stem when mod podging them on and overlap them slightly. Finally, do half the ball at a time, and let it mostly dry before doing the other side to avoid tearing the paper while it’s wet.
