Notes
You can use your hands to mold the ball a little after you put the glue on it.
You can use the pin to pick out pieces of balloon left inside and poke out any glue that is covering open areas.
I have not tried it yet but you could try glitter mod podge and skip a step.
If you like this idea but don't have any twine you could try making it with yarn.
