THE SILVER THREAD



Steps
   1. Obtain the things you'll need.
   2. Cut your styrofoam ball in half and cut a small hollow in the center.
   3.Noise maker inserted.
      Place a small jingle bell or noisy object in the center and place the two halves together again with the jingle bell inside.
   4. Cut two rectangles from your batting or old blanket. They should wrap 3/4ths of the way around the balls circumfrence lengthwise and be at least half the ball circumference in width.
   5.Begin to cover the ball.
      Wrap the rectangle around the styrofoam ball.
   6. Wrap the rectangles
      Pin the two rectangles to your styrofoam ball. Place the short end of one against the middle of the longer side of the other.
   7. Pin and trim.
      Wrap them around and place pins to hold them in place.
   8. Ready to wrap.
      Cut off any excess material, leaving two "dumbell" shaped pieces of batting pinned to the ball.
   9. Begin to wrap string.
      Begin to wrap your base color of string.
  10. Remove the pins.
      Remove the pins as soon as the string is sufficiently wrapped to make the pins unnecessary.
  11. Cover the ball by randomly wrapping the string around it.
      Continue to wrap your base color randomly around your styrofoam ball until all of your batting is covered.
  12. Cut the string, thread it's end through a large needle, and sew it into the ball to hold it in place.
  13. Mark the divisions and plan your pattern.
      Mark the poles and equator of your string ball with pins.
  14. Wrap your pattern.
      Wrap and/or embroider the ball in contrasting colors in any pattern of your choice. The example was made extremely simple for ease of explanation, but there are many more complicated and interesting designs "out there". (see citations below)
  15. Sew all ends into the ball to secure them.
  16. Completed ball.
      Use the ball as a decoration, as a gift, or as a child's toy.
