On the eve of the New Year, shops offer a huge selection of decorations, but there is nothing better than handmade Christmas tree decorations. They will create a warm atmosphere at home, the interior will be fabulous and unique.
Ball making materials can be found at home or purchased at a craft store. Jewelry is made from threads, fabric, paper, beads, buttons, beads, etc. Blanks can be crocheted or painted.
These balls can not only be hung on the tree, but also decorate the whole house with them. For example, put on wooden sticks and put in a large vase.
To make such a ball, you will need thick threads of the same or different colors (you can also use yarn), balloons, PVA glue and scissors.
First, we inflate the balloon to the size that the decoration will have, we tie it so that it does not deflate. Pour PVA glue into a wide container, if it is very thick, it can be diluted with water. We carefully straighten the thread and soak it in glue, wind it around a balloon to the required density, leave a small loop and dry the craft for 2 days. When the threads are completely dry, carefully pierce the ball with a needle and remove it.
The toy can only be made from paper and glue. It is desirable that the material is double-sided. We cut out 8 circles of the same diameter from it and 2 circles are slightly smaller. We fold large circles first in half, then again in half, that is, four times. Glue the circles folded in this way with the middle to the small circles (for each circle 4 large folded ones). Then we straighten each quarter and glue the sides next to each other.
Such jewelry looks impressive, and it does not take much time to make them. The foam blank is alternately pasted over with a decorative cord and a string of beads, and then a loop is glued on top. The balls look original if they are made only from a string of beads and decorated with rhinestones.
It all depends on the manufacturer's imagination. You can take a foam blank as a basis for the ball, you will also need a beautiful fabric and ribbons for the loops. The Christmas toy can be decorated with beads, fabric flowers, beads, etc.
