Ever have a foam ball that doesn't have the North and/or South poles clearly marked?
Using a rough foam ball, with NO markings?
In this video, Ornament Girl Designer Monica shows you a trick for finding the North & South poles, and the Equator line, no matter what kind of ball you are working with... no measuring required!
All you'll need is a sharpie/pen, a few pins, and a piece of narrow ribbon about 1/8" wide (black or dark color GROSGRAIN recommended)!
A Quick Note: The foam balls provided in our Ornament Girls Kits (and the ones we sell in the OG Shop) DO have these markings, and you won't need to find them yourself:

Thanks so much for this! Able to use it to figure out cutting some Styrofoam for a brooch bouquet.

I find that using a rubber band which is about 1/8th of an inch wide is helpful when marking lines on the ball, it is easy to re-position and if you stretch it slightly when you lay it on the ball it will not slip.

Just a great tip!

Where do u find smooth balls that are not wayyyyy too hard to push the pins through?

[@TheOrnamentGirl]

Donna, we have our own brand! They are called Soft Foam, for that exact reason... They are nice and easy to push pins into! Here are all the different shapes we have: theornamentgirl.com/market/product-category/ornament-supplies/foam-shapes/
