This guide will show you how easy it is to slit paper circles and slide them together to make pretty ball decorations

Difficulty level: Beginners

Instructions:

Materials:
Paper
Round object to trace circles
Pen or pencil
Scissors
Optional paper glue

Trace 7 or 8 circles and cut them out
With the same object, trace 1 circle of a contrasting color and cut it out. This will be the base circle

Fold the 7 circles in half.
Make a slit from the middle until about ¾ of the way to the edge
Do this to all 7 circles. Do not slit the base circle

Insert the base circle into the sit

Slide it all the way in

Repeat for all 7 circles

This step is optional.
Put a tiny bit of glue right above the slit on the outside of the folded circle

Squeeze the tip with the glue together with the end of the half circle next to it.
If you have not put glue the just squeeze them together

Adjust the half circles to be equal distances from each other
and your ball decoration is ready!

If you want to hang the decoration, pierce a small hole at the top of the circle, before beginning step 4 and insert a string through the hole
