Things you need
Chart-paper or 10 mm quilling strips
A straight wire to pin the papers. Here we have used jewellery wire
A straw or old refill or beads
A ribbon or thread
Two flat sequins
Pins to prick holes on the paper
Nose pliers
A pair of scissors if using chart-paper
Step 1
Cut the chart paper into strips measuring 1.5 cm wide. The length will depend on how big you wish the ball to be. Here it’s 8 cm. Approximately half the length of your paper strip would be the length of the ball
Step 2
Using the nose pliers roll one end of the wire into a loop. If you do not have a pliers you can use a small pair of scissors. However, be careful not to cut the wire.
Step 3
Cut the wire 10 cm long
Step 4
Using the nose pliers roll one end of the wire into a loop. If you do not have a pliers you can use a small pair of scissors. However, be careful not to cut the wire.
Step 5
Pass a sequin through the wire so that it sits on the loop.
Step 6
Pass the wire through the paper strips one by one. If you are using multiple colours then alternate the colours.
Step 7
Cut a refill or straw 4 cm in length and pass it through the wire. If you are using beads then fill half of the length of the wire with them.
Step 8
Take the last strip and pass it through the wire so that it sits on top of the refill. Repeat the step till all the strips have been pinned.
Step 9
Pass the second sequin through the wire. Press down the paper strips and using the nose pliers roll the top end of the wire to make a loop touching the sequin
Step 10
Cut excess wire, if any.
Step 11
Tie the thread or ribbon in such a way that you can hang the ornament on the Christmas tree
