Poke a hole through the center of a Styrofoam ball

Use a skewer, knitting needle, or screwdriver to pierce a hole through the ball's middle. Pull your long tool out of the ball gently, so you’re left with a long hole through the center of the Styrofoam.

Make sure the hole is straight and centered.
Use caution not to push too hard on the tool.
If the hole doesn't form easily, try soaking the ball in warm water for a few minutes.

Slide a folded piece of wire through the hole you created

Cut a piece of craft wire that’s twice as long as your Styrofoam ball using wire cutters or scissors. Fold the wire in half and thread it through the ball’s hole. Leave about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of looped wire outside the ball.

Leave enough wire for hanging later.
Use a sturdy wire that won't bend easily.
If you find the wire too long, trim it with scissors.

Twist the looped wire into place with a pencil to make a hook

Widen the looped wire with your fingers, and slide a pencil through it. Spin the pencil around to wrap and secure the loop and wire in place. Remove the pencil after twisting it at least 3 times.

Twist the wire tightly for better security.
Don’t twist too much or the wire might break.
If you find the hook too small, try using a larger pencil.

Fold over the excess wire on the end without the hook

Gently tug on the opposite end of the wire (the one without a loop) until the loop is flush against the top of the Styrofoam ball. Push one end of the wire to the left and the other to the right.

Make sure it's secure and even.
If you find the wire too loose, try tightening it with pliers.
