Steps (9 steps, 60 minutes)
-
1
Cut a template of an oval shape about 3 1/2" by 1 1/2" and cut the edges flat. Use this to draw out 3 (9 for the set) ovals on to your first fabric.
-
2
Repeat this with your second fabric, so that you have 3 more ovals, 6 in total per ball (18 for the set).
-
3
Stitch two different fabric ovals together along one of the edges, so that the wrong sides are facing out.
-
4
Sew along the pinned edge, removing the pins as you go.
-
5
Pin down a third oval, of the alternate fabric, along one side of the stitched ovals and sew in to place.
-
6
Repeat this until all six ovals are sewn. Sew up the remaining side, so that the wrong side of the ball is facing out.
-
7
Sew up the top, open edge, of the ball by laying the edges flat on top of each other and sewing one straight line. Fold the ball inside out.
-
8
Fill the ball with lentils or beans and stitch up the remaining open side with a needle and thread.

Make two more balls and you're ready to start juggling.
