The designed Acrylic balls already provide a cosy atmosphere in the home without a string of lights. When the fairy lights are switched on, the beautiful decoration shines in a wonderfully warm light.

With the help of these instructions, the table decoration can be made really quickly and easily.
With the hot glue gun you melt a hole in each ball. With a Paint sponge you dab Napkin varnish matt carefully from the outside onto the two large balls.

Important:

Fingerprints should be avoided on the balls to ensure that the Napkin varnish sticks properly.

After drying, glue the halves together with some super glue. Glue the smallest ball with Straw silk paper.
While the Napkin varnish is drying, roll out the Modelling clay about 3 mm thick between two layers of baking paper.

Tip:
Carefully loosen the mixture several times while rolling out from Paper so that it does not stick
Then cut the Modelling clay with the cutter knife into 2 - 3 mm thin strips. Put a strip on the ball and press it carefully.

With some water you smooth the ornaments with your fingers.
Let the modelled ornaments dry for about 24 hours. With Effect paint "Art Metal" you paint the ornaments of a sphere as well as the sphere covered with Straw silk paper

Then distribute the lights of the fairy lights in the balls and arrange them on a plate or in a bowl on a "bed" of decorative wicker

Tip
Stick wax beads on individual branches of the decorative wicker.

Complete the decoration with delicate leaves, stars and decorative fibre.
