Using your knife 1/6"to 1/8" away from the edge, push fabric into Styrofoam. continue pushing in all edges lay your 2nd piece of fabric on sphere overlapping on edge of 1st piece by 1/6" to 1/8". Push fabric into same space as edge of 1st piece of fabric. Push in remaining sides of 2nd piece of fabric. Continue placing fabric squares overlapping previous ones till sphere is completely covered. Fold your ribbon in half overlapping ends and place together. Place pin in the top of sphere.If you do not have a pin you can just insert your ribbon in shpere with your butter knife.
