Day 26-A Book Ball Garland

This one's just fun! Five little book balls--3-dimensional round books like globes hung from a ribbon to make a garland.

I used a 2" circle punch to cut the pages out of a vintage book on engineering. The pages of that book are covered with mathematical equations, charts, diagrams, etc. giving them an interesting textural look. Each book ball is made of 16 circles cut from these pages. Each circle is folded in half, then half of one is glued to half of the next, half of that to half of the next, etc., to form a globe. A thread is glued inside the globe for hanging. Then the five book balls are hung from a ribbon to make the garland.

I learned some things about how to get these balls to open correctly and how to hang evenly. I think this structure has possibilities for more playing later in the the year.
