For this one I used sequins, long pins (with small silver heads) and tube-like glass pearls (for jewelery making). Once again use a toothpick (pushed into one end of the styropor ball) to hold your ball more easily. Cover the ball with a thin coat of water based glue. Push a pin through the glass pearl then the sequin, dip into extra glue and then push it into the ball. Continue doing this, overlapping sequins a little, until the ball is completely covered. Stick the toothpicked ball into styropor and let dry overnight. Use a sequin and a needle dipped in glue to attach a piece of ribbon to the end of the ball where the toothpick was, let the glue dry and the ball is ready to hang on the Christmas tree!

Wow! I cannot imagine how much work this was. It is beautiful!

Oooh, beautiful, beautiful! I used to make these kind of ornaments when I was a little girl with my Mom. Thank you for bringing back that memory for me!
I love it Claudia, totally one of a kind, and I love that metallic blue color.
