1
Decorate the wooden square. Paint them a solid color and allow them to dry. Add stripes or checker board patterns to the squares if you wish. Measure out and draw lines 1/2 inch apart to mark your lines, and add lines in the other direction to create boxes for the checkerboard patterns. Let the squares dry completely. Rub glitter glue on the boxes to add sparkle, and let them dry.

2
Add ribbons or shapes to your squares using hot glue. Customize them so they go with your overall decor. Set these aside to dry.

Glue the wide side of the cone to the top of the small box, and glue the top of the cone to the 8-inch disco ball using hot glue.

Wrap garland around the centerpiece, or glue plastic ribbon out of the ball or the area where the ball meets the cone for added decoration. Curl the ribbon for added depth.
