Assembly: |
| Step 1. Scan and print two copies of the picture you want on your ornament. Cut the picture into a circle approximately 2" in diameter. |
| Step 2. Using white glue, secure end of twine to center of styrofoam ball. |
| Step 3. Glue one picture over end of twine using white glue. |
| Step 4. Put a small amount of glitter glue into small bowl. Dip approximately 12" of twine into glitter glue and wind closely around styrofoam ball, starting at the edge of your picture. Continue to dip and wind each 12" section. You may find it easier to allow each section to dry before wrapping the next section. |
| Step 5. When you reach the middle of the styrofoam ball, create a hanger by pulling up a 3" loop of twine (be sure your picture is facing right side up). Pinch bottom of loop together and secure to styrofoam ball with a bead of white glue. Allow to dry before you continue wrapping. |
| Step 6. Continue winding twine until approximately a 2" round section remains - be sure that the area will be completely covered by the second picture. Cut twine and glue end in center of unwrapped section using white glue. |
| Step 7. Glue second picture in place over the unwrapped area using white glue. Allow to dry completely. |
