Assembling the “Bloom Ball”
o Using 12 circles, fold each circle on the lines so that the folds are facing up. Be sure to decorate the
entire circle before assembling ball. o When all circles have been completed (see opposite side of
handout), and all the edges have been folded up you may glue (no tape or staples) the circles
together. BE SURE THAT ALL EDGES ARE
FACING UP AROUND YOUR PICTURE OR PARAGRAPHS.
Presentation of your project will factor into the grading. The ball should be colorful and visually
“fun,” but the most important aspect is attention to detail in requirements.
