Use a glue gun to the sides of each piece.

Make sure that a sphere becomes smooth shape when all pieces are gathered.

Paint piece of the sphere with deep blue color and paint shapes of continents with green color until you can't see the brown color of the cardboard

Place each continent on the right spot and glue them.

If a shape of continent doesn't fit on the sphere, adjust the shape finely.

Pin a Flag on the Country

Pin a flag from the outside of the globe. (There should be some length of flag's clip inside of the globe because it will be needed to connect with an alligator clip)

Make sure to attach the flags firmly with tapes from the inside of the globe.

Create a Box

Use an empty tissue paper box to make a box that the globe will be on the top.

Place a piece of aluminium on the top of the box.

Connect With Makey-Makey Kit

Connect the clip of a country flag and the correct alligator clip inside of the globe.

One alligator clip should attach to the piece of aluminium.
