Melt Off Nub
Use a hot knife or a wood burning tool to cut off the nub that sticks out at the top.
Cut Foam Into Cube and Write on Responses
Cut a small piece out of the foam and shape it into a cube.
Using fabric paint, write your answers on each side of the cube. Make sure each side is dry before flipping it over to write on the opposite side.
Glue Ornament
Line the edge of half of the ornament with the water resistant glue. Place the cube inside and press the sides of the ornament together.
Poke Hole
Using the wood burner, poke a small hole in the ornament.
Fill With Water
Fill it with water and seal the hole.
Paint It
Paint the ball with the black fabric paint so it’s completely opaque except for a small section that’s wide enough to read the answer. This will likely need to be done in at least 2 layers, letting it dry in between.
