Attach Yarn
Dab a small amount of glue onto the foam ball around the paper clip loop; place the end of the yarn in the loop's center, then wrap the yarn around the top of the foam ball in a circular motion (Image 1). Add more glue and continue wrapping the yarn around the foam ball, being sure to press the yarn firmly down into the glue (Image 2). Once foam ball is completely covered, cut yarn and glue end to the bottom of the ball (Image 3).
