I made this using a crafting kit. I'm selling it because my child has outgrown it. Following the instructions was time-consuming, so I shortened the top string with masking tape. (You can make it longer by cutting and removing the masking tape with scissors.) Due to shipping costs, the sphere will be sent in two halves, wrapped in bubble wrap. *It's like a gacha capsule.* Please consider this, keeping in mind that it is handmade.
