Sparkling Satellites How-To
- Dip 1 end of a toothpick into glue, and insert into a foam ball; repeat, making your way around the ball until you have a circle of 8 toothpicks. Continue working around the ball in circles.
- Use paintbrush to apply glue to toothpicks and ball in sections, and spoon glitter over to coat. Let dry.
