To make the ball, you can use yarn (thread) of any color or paint it with any paint or sequins (spray). Especially for the New year, you can decorate this thread ball with tinsel, stars. Small balls can be hung on the tree, they are great to decorate the room. 

If you can't wrap the glue-soaked thread on the ball, you can wrap a dry thread, and then thoroughly soak it with glue using a brush or sponge.
