This traditional Polish decoration -- also known as a porcupine ball for its spikiness -- adds a sparkling touch to trees and presents.
| Prep Time: Under 1 hour | |
| What you need: | |
| Ruler or compass
Scissors Thin cardboard Foil paper Glue stick Heavy thread and needle | |
| Seasons: Christmas | |
| Materials: cardboard, foil, paper | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. |  Cut out a 4-inch cardboard circle. Using the cardboard as a
template, trace and cut out 14 foil-paper circles. Fold one
circle in half, in half again and in half once more. Unfold the
circle and place it on a stack of as many circles as you can cut
through. Cut along the fold lines, stopping about 1/2 inch from
the center. Repeat until all the circles are cut. |
| 2. | Form the eight segments of each circle into points by wrapping each one around the sharpened end of a pencil, as shown, and securing it with a dab of glue. |
| 3. | Thread a needle with an 18-inch length of thread, and knot
one end. Insert it through the centers of the circles -- from the
foil side of the first seven and the wrong side of the rest.
Gently pull on the thread, bunching the circles into a ball. Tie
a knot, then form a hanging loop from the extra thread.
