Steps: - Insert pin into one end of the foam ball.
- Glue six ivy leaves around the pearl head, overlapping the edges.
- Starting one inch up from the pin, glue on a second row of leaves.
- Continue with next two rows in this manner.
- Make a loop from 3/8-inch wide ribbon and pin to the top of the ornament.
