Pasos a seguir

For each ball you have to cut four grey strips and four white stripes 1,5 cm width and 20 cm long (a sheet Din A4 is perfect for these measures).

Cut a piece of wire about 15 or 20 cm long and pierce the ende of the paper strips with the hole puncher.

Fold all the paper strips and make a hole on the fold in such a way that each open strip have a hole in each end and in the center. Thread the paper stripes on the wire through the central hole. You can use paper of different colours and mix them.

Take the stripes of paper from the end two by two and thread them again in the wire until you have a ball.

Put some pearls through the wire and leave them fall until you have the ball you want.
