Decorative Orbs Instructions:

Step 1) Separate the 2 hoop sets so that all 4 hoops are laying on the table.

Step 2) Using a foam brush stain hoops or spray paint them. Let dry.

Step 3) Begin Orb by interlocking the 2 hoops that have the tightening mechanism.

Step 4) Now slide the other 2 hoops inside the first 2 and move them around until they look like a sphere.

Step 5) Attach thumb tacks at each intersecting point to hold them in place.
