Cut the polystyrene ball in half
Cut stripes of 3 – 4cm wide and 11cm long stripes of jute. Cover the round side of the ball with them. Cut excess.
Cut a 5cm wide x 20cm long stripe of jute and fray the one long side
Using the hot glue gun, set the stripe around the flat side of the ball.
Repeat the same with the cotton ribbon and glue it on the flat polystyrene side.
Distress the edge of the cardtopper with some gold paint, add a star. (to make it stronger and set it better on the center, glue the card topper on a thicker paper and cut around.)
Decorate with rhinestones.
Set the topper on the center. Make a bow from the cotton ribbon and place on the top.
Add metallic stars by pressing them at the back side.
For the angel ball. Use the other half of the ball.
Paint the angel with the Inka gold.
Cut a star shape from jute and glue it in the round side. Paint around the star with the Inka gold.
Glue jute on the flat side and cut around the excess.
