Detailed Step-by-Step Guide

1. Preparing the Filling

Open your acrylic ball and fill one half with the colorful jelly beans. Close the ball firmly until you hear it click into place, making sure the candies don't spill out when you handle it.

2. The Wrapping Technique

Cut a rectangle of cellophane and place the ball in the center. Wrap the ball tightly and use small pieces of tape to secure the cellophane at the sides, keeping it taut. Leave plenty of paper hanging over the ends to create the visual effect of a candy.

3. Rigging and Structure

Using the thinner satin ribbon (10 mm), tie a knot at each end of the cellophane, right up against the acrylic ball. This sets the shape and prevents the sphere from shifting inside the paper.

4. Finishing Touches and Final Charm

Now it's time to decorate! Make some pretty bows with the 22 mm ribbon and glue them over the side knots using hot glue. To finish, apply the custom design (such as a teddy bear) right in the center of the ball. This stationery detail is what transforms a simple item into a professional, themed party favor.

Golden Tip: You can vary the filling by using marshmallows or chocolate sprinkles to create different textures inside the clear sphere!
