Use the soldering iron to make holes for the lights in the bottom of each cup.


Clip 12 cups together to create a circle.  Then staple the sides of the cups together using 2 staples.
Repeat using 9 cups and then 4 cups.   This makes half a ball.  Do this again to make the other half. Insert one light into each hole. 


Pin and staple the 2 halves together.

  3. What a great idea! I've been looking for some new Valentine decorating ideas that were cheap but made a huge impact. I love this one. I am definitely going to be making this. I've pinned it to my Valentine's day party board. Thanks for such a fun idea!

  7. Did you use hard or soft plastic cups? I tried hard but the staples kept shattering them. So then I tried hot glue but the ball fell apart overnight.

    1. The cups were flexible so i guess they were soft. I'm sorry it took so long to reply, your message was pending.
