Instructions:

Step 1: Place your cardboard box on top of your trash bag or newspaper. This will help protect your surface from the adhesive spray and the glitter.

Step 2: Place the ball inside the box and spray it with the adhesive. Immediately, (be very quick befpre the glue dries!) sprinkle the glitter onto the ball. Repeat this on all sides of the ball to make sure it’s covered well with the glitter.

Step 3: Let the bal sit and dry completely.

Step 4: After the glue is totally dry, insert the eye pin anywhere on the ball. If the pin is wobbly, try reinforcing it with glue; hot glue will work best.

Step 5: Spray the ball with the clear spray paint, applying it in very thin, light coats. This is very important because the clear spray locks in the glitter and seals the ball so glitter doesn’t get everywhere and mess up your home! Don’t spray too much at a time or the paint may seep through and eat away at the styrofoam.
