I would love to share. Figure out the cercomfriance of the stirafoam ball you want to cover. This takes a few try's till you get it down because if your off the center at the top and buttom will not line up and it will look lop sided. This one was 9" around. I devided that by four. Made my marks around the ball with a tape measure. so lets say it comes out to 21/3 which gives me 4 marks around the ball. Then with the tape maesure connected the marks from top all the way around to the top again with a marker. You Look for your marks on the oppisite sides of the ball. This will give you 4 equil sides. With a butter knif score the lines you just made. Cut your fabric on the bias. you need the stretch of the fabric. Tuck it into the lines you just scored with the knife. Then use clear fabric glue to attach what ever cording you want to cover the seams. Add the beeds or whatever you like with pins on the bottom and the top. Be sure to add the loop then the pin with the beeds and a little glue. If I confused you let me know and I'll try to clearify.
