his is like building a string ball or a tin foil ball. Start
T
with the golf ball or rock at the center. Wrap it with a
layer of rags. Tie it by winding the string around and
around in all different directions. Tie the two ends of the
string together with a knot. Wrap your ball with a layer
of bags. Tie it in the same way.

Keep adding layers of rags and
bags, tying each layer. Make sure
your ball stays round and each
layer is tied tightly.
Continue adding layers until it’s the
size you want it to be, like a small
melon or an extra large grapefruit.
Now think of a brand name for your
ball and write it across the top with
the marker.
