Now what I did was hold the balls covered in velvet with two fingers and give it a squish..what this does is creat a little cupped hand rather than a circle ball, then I take the hand and take the arm wire and push it through in the middle of the wired hand, DON"T push too hard or it will go right through the hand....

That's about it for tonight, but just to give you an idea I took the styrofoam ball and pushed it into the nail..IT IS NOT done at this point in the project, it's after we dress Santa, but wanted to show you how he's progressing...

To date, all this is been the hardest part of the project, and it wasn't was it...the dressing him and decorating him, adding the hair and beard is the FUN part...

Now I would suggest because I AM tired that if you don't understand something, write it down, so that you can ask so when we do the actual project all your questions will be answered....at least I hope to have the answer
