Instructions in 6 steps The succulent plants and boxwood branches in miniature look just like the real ones in the hanging ball. And this is how it works:

Step 1

Close all of plastic semi-balls as well the plastic floristic drop.

Step 2

The balls with a diameter of 8 and 10cm should be directly hung up by means of jute cord. The big ball of 12cm looks better with the thicker jute cord of 5mm. Hereby, fasten a small ring onto the eyelet of the ball and tie firmly the jute cord on it.

Step 3

Now place the balls in diverse lengths as a vine. Therefore, bundle the cords together. On both longest cords, set an overhand knot at their tips. Then make a long loop of about 10cm. Now, make a winding knot (as of both knots) over all cords with a 40cm long cord (1.5 mm ø). Cut off remaining overflowing cords. Coat the tip of the winding knot with some multi-adhesive by means of the dental floss pick.

Step 4

Shorten the stalk of the big succulent a bit with the side cutting puncher. The big succulents have to be glued at first into the ball with the hot glue. The advantage of this is that the ball is sealed.

Step 5

Fill the bottom of the ball with river pebbles, iceland moss and granulate.

Step 6

Shorten also the stalks of the small succulents and glue them a bit. According to the ball model, put larch cones, bark pieces, real fine branches and/or turritella shells in its interior.
