Instructions in 18 steps Bath salts and holographic stars in combination with the LED string of lights provide the ball with an exceptional lighting.

Besides the articles listed below, you also need: Batteries: 2 x lithium button cell 3V

And this is how it works:

Step 1: Faceted ball

Fill your ball with bath salt and tie the filled ball onto the white organza ribbon.

Step 2

Scatter the hologram-stars in one half of the faceted plastic-ball and wrap the LED-fairy lights around the small ball.

Step 3

Fasten the LED-fairy lights onto the crosspiece of the ball’s half and tie the small bath-salt ball onto the organza ribbon. Close the ball.

Step 4

Dab the surface of the lower ball with the glue for foil in a single line by means of the sponge stamp. Let the glue dry transparent out. Lay the mirror foil with the golden side facing up onto the glue and press/rub it firmly with fingers.

Step 5

Repeat this procedure until the entire surface is covered and no longer sticky.

Step 6

When it comes to the middle line between the mirror foil and the ball, you can hide it by covering it with the golden lurex tape while using the double-sided adhesive tape.

Step 7

The small rolled strip with a message has to be tied firmly onto the organza ribbon that is hanging out.

Step 8: Feather-hanger

Slide a glass faceted bead Radl onto a quill of the big feather and wrap the silver wire around the quill above the bead.

Step 9

Thread a glass faceted bead onto the wire and fix it at a distance of 5cm, then thread the wire once again through the bead. Repeat this step once more.

Step 10

Attach a wire, a small decorative feather and a glass faceted bead Radl onto the quill and wrap the wire around the quill.

Schritt 11

Now, wrap the wire around a pencil, this give rise to a loose spiral.

Step 12: Decorative board

Paint the corresponding slats of the wooden slats frame with the brush and the anthracite Chalky Finish paint.

Step 13

Prime the second slat from above with the white Chalky Finish paint. Let the paint dry well out.

Step 14

Wipe the mixture out of the white Chalky Finish paint and the Chalky Finish cream-wax in a mixing ration of 2:3 over the anthracite-coloured slats with a sponge. As a result, a limed appearance arises.

Step 15

Stick the precisely tailored cutting of the DecoMaché marbled paper by means of the Decoupage glue & lacquer and let it dry.

Step 16

Spray the non-permanent spray glue at the back of the stencil “Lebe den Tag”. Let the glue air dry briefly and place the stencil on the board. Coat the rest of the board as well as the scripture that are not intended for spraying with newspapers and masking tape.
