| Hey to all !!! Wow I love em too!!! ?To answer most yes it was difficult to cut them in half. We marked the center with masking tape. Placed it ontop of a round can a little smaller than the ball took short cuts with a skil saw and then turned the ball, continuing all the way around. You won't be able to cut all the way so in order to cut the rest we dug a hole jsut the size of the ball and finished cutting the center with reciprocating saw..(sawzall) voila.... Tape the center around the ball placing the tape between the thumb and finger holes. we used the half with the two holes for the girls and the half with one inserted a cork and added wired eyes and antennas. Thanks Everyone, they were really a lot of fun to make. |
