mark the center of the ball. Lightly mark 1

insert dowel into the ball up to this mark.
Carefully remove the dowel and fill the hole

with glue. With right side facing the tree,

slide skirt onto dowel, then reinsert the

standing straight, slide the skirt down to the
ball, and allow glue to dry thoroughly.
