Supplies

Step-by-Step

1. Step 1

   Using scissors, trim a paper cup to just under 2" high. Cut polystyrene ball in half (a kitchen knife is good for this).

   
   
   

2. These 2 pieces form the basic shape of the box.

   

3. Step 2

   Cut a strip of striped paper to 2" x 12". Score the strip on the long side every 1/4", and accordion fold the strip back and forth.

   

4. Step 3

   Using hot glue, adhere folded paper around the paper cup base to cover it.

   Use a die or large circle punch to cut a circle from the patterned scrapbook paper. Use hot glue to attach it to the base of the foam circle.

   

6. Step 5

   Punch out around 70 small flowers from the remaining patterned scrapbook paper.

   

7. Step 6

   Sponge the edge of the flowers with a coordinating ink.
   
   HINT:
   Several flowers can be sponged at once.

   

8. Step 7

   Using a ball stylus and a foam mat, take around 20 flowers and form to shape by pressing into the center of each one.

   

9. Step 8

   Start by attaching the flat flowers to the ball using small pins, making sure you completely cover the half dome with flowers.
