Materials

Instructions

  • Place the cardstock on your work surface. Using a paintbrush, apply a layer of Mod Podge Mega Glitter to the cardstock and let dry.
  • Grab your craft knife, mat, and ruler. Cut the cardstock in 3/4″ strips. On the back of each strip, make a small dot in the center with your pencil.
  • Using the hot glue, attach the strips in the center, first making a cross with two pieces. Use the hot glue to attach two more strips, splitting the cross shape with an “X.”
  • Join the ends at the top with the same method as above, starting with the first strip. You’re going to cross, and then cross. Let cool.
  • Punch a small hole in the top of the paper ball using a needle and thread and add your desired hanger.
