Step 2: Cut Out the Fabric

Pin the paper pattern to the fleece fabric and cut 28 circles in colors desired. Poke a hole in the center of each dot on the paper pattern with a large needle. On each fabric circle, make a mark in the center of each hole.

Step 3: Assemble the Ball Pieces

You will create 4 sets of fabric bundles. Each bundle will include 7 folded fabric pieces.

Fold each fabric circle in half (between the four holes) and then fold in half again, lining up the holes in the center.
Stack 7 pieces and insert one of the zip ties into the center. Zip to secure. Trim the excess zip tie.

4. Repeat with a third and fourth set of 7 fabric pieces, securing all 4 together with the zip ties.
