To celebrate 100 + followers, I made this Rosette Sphere. I had seen examples here and here and decided to give it a whirl myself. I didn't have a Styrofoam sphere handy so I used what I had: a small toy basketball. I originally bought it to give to a friend's little boy...but decided not to since they were moving out of the country. Anyways, first I painted the ball white with acrylic paint.
Next I made 100 (or thereabouts) rosettes. See the above links for tips. Mine ended up really small so I had to do a LOT of them. I'd recommend making them bigger.

About halfway done. |
Completed. It only took 4 hours and burns on all of my finger tips. I put it on an up-side-down candlestick holder which keeps it stable and cute. This sphere has made its home on my mantle, but it's great for party decor too.
