Today we are featuring the 20 Circle Ball on pg. 57 of the Cricut Artiste Handbook. I cut my 20 circles at 1” each using the *NEW* Flirty Paper Packet.

I need to give you a little warning up front…when making your first ball, use scrap paper! It’s quite a complicated little project. The Cricut Artiste Collection comes with a Handbook AND Assembly booklet thank goodness, so it helps a little.

Once I got mine into the shape of a ball, I adhered Opaque Pearl Adhesives using Liquid Glass to all the intersections but one. On the last one, I inserted some Color-Ready Seam Binding Ribbon also using Liquid Glass.

I can imagine having these hanging on a Christmas tree or making them really large and having them hang from the ceiling for party decorations!

  1. Great minds think alike! Yours is so cute - I made mine bigger because I figured I'd be too frustrated with a little one. So cute!! Might just have to make a few minis for the tree this year. :)
