The first thing that you want to do is start gluing your cups and you wanna glue them the hot glue gun, you wanna glue them in a circle one by one and keep them side to side to make it look like a ring. After you glued together all the cups and made multiple stacks on each other it should look like half of a sphere. You will need as many cups as needed depending on what type of clear cups you use. The cups that I used were a little to big and I did have to use three different size cups to make it complete.
