 |  |  |  |
Foam Balls | Stick Pins | Glass Beads | Create a design with the glass beads by inserting a pin through the center hole of the bead and then sticking it into the foam ball. |
1. Purchase white foam balls from any craft store. You can choose to have all the balls the same size or vary the sizes, whichever suits your personal taste for a collection.
2. Make sure you have enough glass beads to cover all the balls you plan to make. Choose glass beads that have a small hole in the center. You will need this hole for inserting pins.
3. Next you will need to gather as many Stick Pins as you have glass beads.
4. Now that you have your foam balls, glass beads and stick pins, you are ready to start the construction.
5. Take a stick pin and thread it through the hole in the center of your glass bead. Push the pin into the foam ball until the glass bead is snug. Continue pinning the glass beads beside each other until the ball is covered. You can create designs by changing the color of your beads. Group beads of the same color together in different areas or create a spiral line around the ball. Let your creativity run wild.
6. Your end result is an elegant looking glass bead accessory that will look great in any room.
Tips and ideas:
Group multiple balls together in a bowl and sit in the center of a table, or use with your table setting to hold the name of your guests. Pin a slip of paper with your guest's name on it into the foam ball between the beads.
