With the help of the ball form two half sphere of iron wire . You can use some tape or use some really thin iron wire to keep the iron wire in place.

They don't need to be perfect at all, just to old the shape.

(You may find something already made from some craft or gardening store).

COVER THE SPHERE

Cover each half sphere with the succulents, inserting the roots between the holes.

(If your succulent don't have any roots you may place them with a staple after completing next step, or use some transparent thread).

ADD THE MOSS
