If the globe has electrical wiring (light):

• Take the globe apart completely and remove the bulb and wiring.
• Use the cutting pliers if necessary.

• With the help of masking tape, draw a rectangular opening where desired.
• Cut the opening by following the masked outline, using a Dremel saw (or a cutter if the globe is made of cardboard)

• Protect your work surface and spray paint the globe as well as the globe stand.

• Use the Odif Temporary Paper Adhesive 101 to help in cutting up the paper napkins.
• To do this, spray a piece of scrap paper with the 101 and place the front side of the paper napkin onto your scrap paper.

• Cut the flowers one by one.
• You need enough flowers to go all around the globe.

• If the globe is painted in a dark color, use the Odif 201 Masking Glue on your napkin.

• Otherwise use the Odif 202 Temporay Paper Adhesive.
• Spray the back of the cut paper napkin flowers.
