Make five (more or less depending on the size of your willow ball, the diameter of mine is 25 cm = 9.8 inches) wreaths of the same size. Make a ball scaffold by tying the wreaths together. Start weaving willow branches into the scaffold, starting from the thicker end of the branch. Don’t worry if your willow ball doesn’t look like a ball yet. You can fix the shape when adding more branches. Tuck in any stray branches and cut off the excess. Make a loop with iron wire for hanging the willow ball.
