1
Cut a large styrofoam ball in half.

2Stretch brown felt over the form to shape it.
3Run felt through the Creatopia.
4Rub the felt really well before removing the top film (tip: rub it back and forth over the edge of your table to ensure excellent adhesive coverage).
5Wrap the felt around the foam, stretching it as you go. It should be smooth and without any creases.
8
Trim the felt on the flat side of the styrofoam.

9
Repeat with other half of styrofoam ball.

7Place one of the halves on to piece of folded kraft cardstock, making sure that the styrofoam hangs slightly off the folded edge of the paper. Draw around the form (it will not be a perfect circle).
10
Open the cut card flat and run through the Creatopia (use the fabric cartridge to ensure the card sticks to the felt).
11Adhere to the halves one side at a time.
12(both forms stuck to card)
13To create the icing fold white felt in half.
14Cut freehand to form a wavy half circle, then cut in half.
15Run the felt through the Creatopia, rub thoroughly before removing the top film.
16Mold around the top of the halves, overlapping the flat edge.
17Cut slits on the overlapping felt, lift edge of cardstock and tuck felt in.
18Add ribbon for hanging, using two pins and fabric glue to hold in place. Press back the cardstock to hold it tight.
19
Cut coordinating ribbons and make two loops.

20Glue in place with liquid fabric adhesive to one side of the opening.
22Add a pin for extra security. Ribbon should fall on either side of the hanging ribbon.
23(top view)
24(side view - note how the ribbons cover the opening where the halves meet)
26
Using the Shapez component and a holly-shaped die, cut 10 holly leaves from green glitter felt and run through the X.
28
Place in a circle around the top of the ball, covering the ribbon as shown.
29
Run some red pom poms throught the X and place around the hanging ribbon on the top.

30
To create the inside, use the leftover kraft cardstock as a template and draw two circles on coordinating paper.

31
Run both through your Creative Station.

32
Place on the inside of the halves.

33
Repeat using slightly smaller circles and apply to halves.

34
Run diecut letters through the X and adhere.

35
Cut around images in a photo - making sure that the photo stays in one piece. Leave a tab at the bottom to attach to project.

36
Run through your Creative Station.
37
Place on coordinating patterned paper and cut around the image.
38
Fold back tab at bottom of the photo and apply adhesive with Mega Runner. Apply to bottom half of project.
39
Use coordinating paper to make the rear tab. Apply adhesive to each end using Mega Runner and attach as shown.

40
Run embellishments through your X and add to the inside of the project. Apply a self adhesive velcro closure to top and bottom half, and you have a Pudding Surprise!
