No problem. Just drop about 15 drops of any color ink refill into the ball and slowly turn the ball until it is completely coated on the inside. It takes time, but be patient. If you need to add a little more ink, go ahead. Then, when you have it completely coated let it sit inverted in a small paper cup to let some of the excess drip out. Now, make a funnel out of a half sheet of paper and pour some glitter into the ball. Use a piece of paper towel to cover the opening tightly with your fingers and shake the glitter until it completely coats the inside as well. You will be able to pour the excess glitter back into its container. That's it. Add embellishments to the top of the ball as you wish.
You can also use PearlEx or your favorite embossing powder instead of glitter. You can also mix the glitter with PearlEx or Embossing Powder to give it another look.

I just use classing ink refill. Not craft ink. And if you want to make a white ball, just use embossing ink refill, not versamark. The versamark and craft inks are too thick.
