Put a nail through the top of the ball so that only the top half of the nail is sticking out, repeat the same procedure at the bottom of the ball. Now attach 4 pieces of thread to the top of the nail on the ball. The length of the thread should be long enough so that they dangle below the ball quite a bit. Now use the sticking tape or glue to fix the thread on four sides of the ball. After you have done this cut strings out of the different colored ribbons and wrap them around the nails, use different color ribbons for different nails. Get 4-5 nails and tie them together and attach them with a thread to the bottom end of the ball. Now attach the other nails to each thread that is hanging just like a wind chime.
