I did mine with the bigger hoot & wider plastic and it created a very different look than my 16yr dd who did a smaller version. Booth looked good but different style to it.

It makes the plarn (plastic yarn) a lot stronger and makes it really easy to add on if you didnt put enough on your ball to begin with. My daughter also makes thin bracelets by braiding plastic strips from our bread bags and coconut bags etc into bracelets. They look neat worn in multiples.
