1) The Hollow polystyrene ball i used came in two parts so i started by taping it together

2) Mark a circle on the bottom of the ball. I drew round a lip balm lid :)

3) Cut the circle out using sharp scissors or a craft knife

To make the little cones:
4) Wrap some scrap paper around your polystyrene cone

5) Tape and slide off cone

6) Cut down to size. Mine are 4cm long

7) Cut down the middle and fold out flat, this is your template

8) Draw around your template onto card 9 times

9) Cut out all the card pieces. Tip: if you leave a flap on one end you will end up with a neater curve to the cone.

10) Curl each one around, line up the pen marks and tape together
