How do I string 25 6mm round beads to form a ball?  I have seen the finished ball used as the center of a 3-D Xmas ornament with wires going thru the openings in the ball.  The wire are then strung with beads to form a 3-D snowflake-like ornament.

Thank you for your suggestion.  The wigjig pattern uses 30 beads.  I'm looking for instructions for 25 beads because it would create the number of holes I would need to make my finished ornament.  Item #H-141201PL, pearl ball cluster, at firemountaingems.com is a ready made version of what I'm  looking for, but it is made with freshwater pearls.  You can see a picture of what it looks like at that website.  Any other ideas?

I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for but here's my instruction on a beaded ball: Beaded Ball Instruction

Cheers!

This is very close to what I'm looking for.  The instructions are very confusing, but I will try it.  Thank you.
