Does anyone know how to make a sphere using recycled Christmas cards? I made one long ago in grade school by cutting circles and can't remember the rest?

I made some of these about 35 years ago and they are still in good shape. I need to try and made some more.

Fold the circles in to make a triangle and glue or staple them to each other until you have a ball. I can't remember how many circles it takes, but I think it is around 15 or so.

Oddly enough, the directions for making one of these was posted on here last year. I even bookmarked it, but never got to it. See if this link works:

I hope it does. Otherwise, you should be able to search for it on here somehow. Good luck!

I found the instructions for spherical ornaments in Allcrafts.com, they have many ideas for old Christmas cards.
