  • Glass ball ornaments with removable metal caps
  • 6-inch square Styrofoam block

  2. Take the caps off of the balls and set them aside.
  3. Place the Styrofoam on the cookie sheet and place a few straws in it.
  4. Place a couple balls on the straws, cap side down
  5. Make designs on the sides of the balls using the glue.
