Playing With Paper.

 Today I have been playing with paper. Making ornaments for Christmas. Just using a regular sheet of paper, some paper fasteners and a ruler and a hole punch. This particular ball has 8 strips but you can decide what you need for the ball. The band that goes around the middle has 16 holes, each strip goes around in a circle.

 this is the bottom of the ball. using the middle holes line up the strips and hold in place with the paper fastener. Using another fastener put the top and bottom holes together to make the rings.

 Almost there, Now using your 16 holed piece of paper place it around the ball fastening as you go. Add a loop to the top and you are done.
