DIY cone ball

If you don’t have a foam ball, here’s an example, how to make a ball of cones from plain paper. There are no hopeless situations, and the old newspaper will serve no worse than polystyrene and polyurethane foam. Just twist the paper, wrap it with rope and the base is ready. Then we fix the cones. If in the case of polystyrene, they usually use a wire that is stuck in a ball, then here you just stick the cones, on paper will keep excellent. For decor, you can still apply a little silver paint.

And this is another similar option, how to make a ball of cones and paper. Perhaps the procedure for making crafts can not be repeated, it is basically the same as in the previous case. Only difference, the paper is not wrapped with rope, but with cling film. For the correct form, you can still fix with tape. Then paste over with cones and decorate. The tips of the cones, the upper scales, can be painted with white paint. If you do New Year's crafts, use sequins, Christmas tinsel and other holiday gadgets.
