How to Make Honeycomb Glitter Foam Christmas Ornament

Step 1: Cut the Glitter Foam Pieces

Trace a 6 cm round object onto the glitter foam ten times, cut out all the circles, then cut each one in half.

Step 2: Fold and Glue the Foam Pieces

Fold each half-circle inward and hot glue the bottom to hold the shape. Then glue the curved sides together to form pairs.

Step 3: Assemble the Honeycomb Shape

Stack the paired pieces and glue them together along the straight edges. Gently connect the final two pieces to close the shape and form the honeycomb ball.
