It's that simple:
Cut squares of fabric and fleece 8 x 8 cm, cut the fleece squares diagonally to the triangle
Fix one fabric square spread out with Pins on Polystyrene ball
Fold four fabric squares 2 x diagonally to the triangle and pin them around the square at two corners with the tip pointing upwards
Fold the fleece triangles again and fix them staggered between the fabric triangles
Fold further sections of fabric in the same way and pin them staggered under the last row. The upper tip will then always remain free.
Alternate fabric and fleece triangles for more volume. Continue to work to the bottom of the ball. To finish, fold all four corners of a square to the middle, turn and pin in place
