Step 4:

To start a ball, hot glue the end of one of the pieces of Macrame cord to the 1.5 in. foam ball.
Wrap Macrame in multiple directions to cover the ball completely. Secure end with a dab of hot glue. Repeat until you have a total of 9 Macrame balls. Note: You will continue steps 4A and 4B for the jute and yarn.

Step 5:

Hot glue the balls to the wreath ring making sure to separate the colors and textures.
Cover the burlap-covered wreath ring completely with the assorted balls.
Once the ring is covered, begin layering balls on top by hot gluing them and filling in any gaps. Optional: Add mini Christmas balls for added texture and color.
