Learn how to cover glass Chrismas balls with fabric

Create a template by laying down an old piece of fabric and cutting a square, as per the ball size.
Note: your fabric should stand up 2-3 inches higher than the ball's top.
Lay your template square on top of your ticking fabric and cut out numerous squares.
Spread your squares out, with the pretty side face down.
Rip some 1/4 inch strips of cloth from your red fabric and remove loose threads from the torn edges.
Take a Christmas tree ball and thread the top with torn strip of red cloth.
Place the ball at the center of a square.
Gather up the 4 points and tightly pull the fabric up around the ball.
While holding the fabric in place with one hand, tightly tie off the top with a fabric strip (it's a little tricky, but you'll get the hang of it!)
Create a firm knot and (if desired) a red bow.
Trim the ends of your fabric strip to length.
Cut an 8 inch piece of cotton string.
Tie the string around 1-2 tiny tree cones, being sure to hide the string in the layers.
Position your cones in the desired place and tightly tie the string around the top of the cloth-covered ball.
Trim loose ends to hide your string.
