Being a new crocheter (less than a year) hasn't stopped me from changing up a pattern and going off on my own. Especially if I think there is a better or easier way to do something. 

As was the case in making these crochet balls. I changed the instructions to make 2 halves to sew together instead of all that "decrease the top" stuff. Nope, didn't like it at all. Didn't like the stuffing pieces sticking out.

I also added a lightweight wooden bead inside the 2 halves before sewing them together. It makes it sooo easy to insert the stringing material.

Going to make lots of these. I have tons of Marbella beads.
