Step 1: What You'll Need
• Epsom salt
• Styrofoam Balls
• Plates
• White Glitter
• Glue
• Skewers
Optional:
• Paintbrush
• Styrofoam Balls
• Plates
• White Glitter
• Glue
• Skewers

• Paintbrush
Step 2: Getting Started
First start off with putting the skewer into your styrofoam ball. Just to the point were it won't fall and it's steady.
Step 3: Get Your Glue On!
Pour your glue on a plate. I used Elmer's Glue-All but any white multi purpose glue will help.
Step 4: Putting Your Glue
Make an even layer of glue on your styrofoam ball. I tried spreading it with a brush but ended up using my finger to get the layer even. I also found it easier to pour the glue on and letting the excess drip off or picking the glue and spreading it with my finger.
Step 5: A Salty Situation
Put your Epsom salt in a different plate. Then, just roll your gluey ball around. You can also sprinkle the salt onto the ball but it turns out messy. I learned that the hard way.
Step 6: Sprinkle It!
Lastly, sprinkle your white glitter while it's still fresh to give it a shiny effect. It looks a lot nicer than with just the salt.
Step 7: Done!
Just place your styrofoam balls with their skewers in a cup and let them dry over night! Also place something underneath because IT WILL DRIP WATER. But other than that congratulations! You finished this tutorial!
