Instructions
1. Cut one 2" square and forty-five 1" x 4" strips from patterned paper. Place paper strips printed side down on work surface. Refer to Diagrams 1 through 3 to fold strips in half and then into crisp points as shown.
2. Glue paper square to center bottom of foam ball, clipping paper as needed so it lays flat. Mark center bottom of ball with pin.

3. Refer to Diagram 4 to pin two points to bottom of ball on opposite sides, with tips just touching. Insert pins as indicated by dots on diagram; points will stick up a bit. Pins will be hidden by subsequent paper layers.

4. Pin two more paper points over first two with edges just slightly overlapping and points just touching. First layer is complete.

5. Refer to Diagrams 5 and 6 to add two more layers of paper points. Second layer should be positioned 1/2" from center of first layer. Third layer should be positioned 1" from center of first layer.

6. Continue pinning paper points to ball in alternating rows as you move toward top of ball, with each row an additional 1/2" from center bottom of ball. Near mid-point of ball, edges of paper points will be slightly farther apart than at top and bottom. Be sure each layer covers pins in layer before it. Adjust pins as needed. Final layer of paper points should cover top of ball completely.

7. Remove pin marking center bottom of ball and use it to make hole in center top. Cut a short wire length and twist ends together to create a hanging loop; glue loop into center top of ball. Tie loopy bow and glue to top of ornament.
