• Cut six 5cm x 30cm lengths of patterned paper. Set one aside and assemble the other five into a star shape
• Ensure all the strips are interwoven
• Close up the strips so a small pentagon forms in the middle and secure with washi tape
• Fix the remaining strip into a ring and flip the star over so the tape is underneath
• Weave the ring onto the ends of the star, securing each intersection with tape
• Continue fixing the loop to the ends so the strips form a half-sphere shape
• Join one of the strips to itself to make a loop
• Join the strip adjacent to the first, ensuring that it weaves in and out of the strips that cross it
• When all strips are joined, remove the temporary tape and roll the ball between your palms to shape it evenly
