First the ladies painted the polystrene balls in either white or gold...I actually sprayed mine after giving it coat of white Acrylic paint, if you spray straight onto the ball then a lot of spray paints actually eat into the polystyrene ball so you need a coat of Acrylic paint first.
After folding the pages I then used a glitter spray straight onto the the paper back pages...I just added a small ruff around the neck of my angels, one I used a page from the book the other I gathered a piece of ribbon.

Hi Anne. These are amazing!! So creative and to use an old book - now that is recycling at it's best! :) Loll xx

Both of these are so effective Anne and what great recycling - or is it up-cycling, I am never sure which is which.

Great fun projects Anne, not sure my tatty paperbacks could be used and I would need to learn some patience to do all the folding. Love what you have achieved though. xx Flora
