- Fill container with warm water. Following the manufacturer's instruction for use, dip the larger strips into water and cover the Styrofoam cone except for the very tip where you will stick 3-4 toothpicks in to attach the ball. Have the first layer of strips going in one direction and then the next layer crossing over in the opposite direction for strength. Smooth strips with fingertips.
