Making Links of Unity ball
 Cut out the strips and swap with other Guides to get a mixture of colours for their ball.
 Fold one strip in half to find the middle. Poke a small hold through the centre of all six strips.
 Poke a small hole at each end of the strip –about 2cm from the end.
 Poke a split pin through the centre holes and flatten the legs of the split pin to hold the strips in place.
 Fan the strips out in a circle.
 Curve the strips up one by one and poke the second split pin through the hole at the end of each strip.
 Once you have all the strips on the second split pin, flatten it’s legs.
 You have now made your ‘Links of Unity’ ball.
