Then I pin North, then South, East and West for the first row as you do. It is easy to tell students with NSEW with all the top points coming together with one pin. I glue as I go and leave the pins in as I am working to set the triangles, removing pins when necessary. I use a 3" ball, usually 4 rows on each side of 2 inch squares. At the Equator, where the two halves meet ( or almost meet!), I use some narrow two sided lace I make by sewing two pieces of lace together and then cover the middle of the lace with a 1/4 inch ribbon, all of this being glued as I go. The only pins left ( I replace the first pins by pearl pins ) are at the N and S Poles!! and on the bows at the top and bottom of the ball to fasten the ribbon. These pins are the pearl pins, either balls or tear drop shaped. You can do the same thing with the egg shaped styrofoam, just fill in at the ends with extra fabric triangles. The egg shaped ones are really nice on a Christmas tree as well as at Easter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2509028446619459557.post-64802290614159856622012-07-30T14:52:41.490-04:002012-07-30T14:52:41.490-04:00I have made a few dozen - each with different Chri...I have made a few dozen - each with different Christmas fabrics. I hang them on my table tree as the main ornaments.

Then I just folded the ribbon into 3 waves the middle one long enough to use as a hanger. I loved this tutorial for cutting and placing the pairie points. To pin the ribbon down and make it more festive, used pins with colored heads to match the design. Usually white, red, blue or green.<br /><br />Thanks for the tutorial.<br /><br />JeanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2509028446619459557.post-47856321558752905232011-12-05T16:38:22.259-05:002011-12-05T16:38:22.259-05:00This is beautiful!
