Simple folded paper circles are glued together to create a fun globe. Decorate with paper globe topiary or make several globes and thread on to a length of embroidery silk or thin wire to make a garland.

Supplies:
- assorted patterned papers
- glue stick
- 2 inch circle punch
- pencil
- craft knife
Instructions
- Cut or punch 20 circles on to the paper.
- Cut out a triangle from cardstock.
- Place the triangle pattern in the center of each circle and lightly draw around with a pencil to make the score lines.
- Score along the lines using the back of the craft knife blade.

- Lay the circles flat and gently fold up the flaps. Create top and bottom: With glue stick, glue flaps of 5 pieces together to make a dome. Repeat for globe bottom.

- Create middle band: Glue remaining 10 circles together.
- Glue first piece to last piece to form band.

- Glue globe top to globe band.

Another variation to this project is to use photos. It's tricky to get them correct but well worth the effort.
