There was! But I started this moss ball in 2012, with a different set of succulents, which grew tall and leggy, so had to remove those and start anew with semps. I forgot already which thread it was in, whether in the Succulent and Cacti forum or in the Containers forum.

But basically I just used two half wire baskets, got them from Big Lots I think, then lined each half it with sheet moss and then added my succulent mix. To help hold the mix in each half, I just used cut out of weed fabric and sewn it on the edges of the half baskets. Puncture holes on to the moss to insert the semps. I also had to enlarge some of the wire holes, so cut some wider opening to better put the bigger semps. Had to wait a bit for the semps to set root and I also used those flower pins to help hold down the semps. It took awhile then I just put both halves together. Just have to spray a bit more often here, since our area is just too bone dry and we get too hot so, I have the ball in part shade. I keep this ball outdoors year round since our winter is mild enough. I am still experimenting which semps do well here.
