| INSTRUCTIONS: |
| 1. Pin satin fabric to the foam sheet. Cut ribbons to 12" lengths. Position ribbon length along edge of satin and pin each end. Cover satin, pinning ribbon strips side-by-side and alternating colors and widths. Weave remaining ribbons through pinned lengths until surface is covered. Be sure ribbons are positioned snugly, covering satin fabric entirely. |
| 2. Removing pins one at a time and re-pin each ribbon end to satin only. Continue until all ribbons are free of the foam. Secure edges by sewing a running stitch 1/2" from the edge all the way around; remove pins. |
| 3. Lay fabric on a flat surface, ribbon side down. Positioning Pattern A on the diagonal, trace four shapes onto satin. Sew on the line around each piece. Cut out each piece, trimming as close to stitching as possible. |
| 4. Glue fabric pieces to ball, with points touching at the top and bottom. Let dry. Cut 5/8" wide braid and pearl strand in four lengths. Glue braid over each seam; glue pearls over braid. Insert pin with pearl head through bead cap, add glue to end of pin, and insert in bottom of ball. |
| 5. Make bow with ten 2" loops from 5/8" wired ribbon. Fold 3/8" braid in half; insert remaining pin with pearl head through both ends. Add glue to end of pin and insert through center of bow and into ball top, forming hanger. |
