sturdy sheet music, tried several old books and wound up dragging out a 1987 map atlas which worked well. also learned to open the "holes" in the balls as i go, stretching them out to make a pretty full circle when done. the glue dots were okay but i went back to the glue gun for speed and sturdy to finish my big batch.
it took all day, but i got a batch of the metal cutouts polished off with bows and final touches and ready to pack in addition to finishing 20 paper balls. a few of the balls are all done, i had to have something to keep me
