How to make a three-banded ball:

Using the ¼″ width of tacky tape, make a belt around the ball where the equator would be. Don’t remove the liner. (See page 9 for tips on working with tacky tape.) Try to keep the band of tape even, but don’t make yourself crazy—if you look at balls from the era, they aren’t perfectly even either.

Apply a band of 1/8″ wide tape a bit above the first band and another below the first band, leaving the liners on. Go over each band firmly with your fingers, using your thumbnail to smooth down any bubbles.

Remove the liner on the band you want to glitter. (Even if you are going to do all three bands in the same color, do one band at a time.) Holding the ball over a bowl, pour glitter liberally over the ball. Pour more glitter in the bowl. Roll the ball in the glitter and scoop more over it, until you are satisfied with the coverage. Do the remaining bands the same way. Use the same technique for a five-banded ball.

Set the balls aside overnight. The next day, brush away any excess glitter clinging to the untaped sections into a bowl.
