1) Cut fabric into 1 1/4" squares using pinking shears or a rotary cutter with a pinking blade attached.  Whenever using a rotary cutter, be sure to protect your work surface with a self healing mat.

2) Fold your ribbon in half and knot the two ends together in an overhand knot.

3) Stick the common pin through the center (opposite the knot) of your ribbon.  Dip the end of the pin into glue then stick it into the Styrofoam ball.  This will be your hanger.

4) Using the tip of a pencil, poke the center of one of the fabric squares into the Styrofoam ball.  Repeat this process placing the squares close together until the entire ball is covered with fabric squares.
