a)-I start with 4 of the same color and shade in a slightly curve line.Then right next to the last one in the row start a new line same patern till you fill up the hole aria.This technic could be changed in many ways.Chose the one you prefer the most.
b)-for hanging part tied up a wire or string aruond the bauble neck. Add a drop of hot glue (or other glue compatible with the foam material ) and placed back on position.The glue is necessary to hold the hole weight
