Step 1
Cut a bunch of little circles of the same size out of your pretty paper.
You can do however many circles you want. I usually opt for 6 to 8, but you can do 10 or even 12, or possibly more depending on the size of your circles. (You don’t have to do an even number, either.)
I advise not using fewer than 5 or 6 circles.

Step 4
Glue another circle half to those first two, and keep gluing circle halves on till you've glued all the folded circles from one of your piles together, and you have a sphere.
Glue the open sides of the sphere together.
Make sure you glue the circles really well, so they don’t come apart later. It can be a good idea to glue half your sphere together, then the other half, let them dry, and then join the two halves. If you get impatient and sloppy at this point, things are more likely to fall apart later.
