Have A Ball Decorating

I saw these decorations on luckybeans.typepad.com. They look like they would be fairly easy to make and would look beautiful at any party, a bedroom, or on a Christmas tree.

Needed:
scissors
paper
hole punch
large brads
string or yarn (if you want to hang them)

All you would need to do is cut out numerous strips of paper all the same size. You stack 6 to 8 on top of each other. (You could try more. Just depends on what you want it to look like) Punch a hole at both ends of the stack. Place a brad through the hole. Once the brads are secure, fan our the papers into a ball. They remind me of Chinese lanterns. I made one and it was very easy. They store well too if you decide to keep them. You just push all the strips together till if forms the stack again. (I hope that made sense) Hope you have a ball with this idea.
