I wonder if you cut the styrofoam with a knife or do you use some other tool.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00670017068516575306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6936759563200947460.post-6870827338922641112013-12-22T06:48:11.279-07:002013-12-22T06:48:11.279-07:00Hi, great thing that you are trying!

That way you get even lines, clear design and your fabric pieces stay in the ball.

Another one had a thin layer of squishy craft foam (very technical terms, I know) glued to the top of the styrofoam, and I really liked the effect of that, again, the lines were pre-cut. I don't know how well it would work on a ball, but thought I would mention it.<br /><br />I found you through the Girlhood Home Companion, and was so excited to see another LDS momma, thanks for the inspiration!
