How to make a New Year ball with your own hands
On the eve of the New Year, many people have an irresistible desire to do something unusual - such that a holiday in the house was felt already from the threshold.
Bought toys, of course, look greatand stylish. But not without reason at all times was appreciated "handmade", which in the most mysterious way can transfer the mood of its creator! You can start with the New Year balls, without which not a single Christmas tree can do. And in the interior they always find a place.
Beautiful Christmas balls on the Christmas tree with your own hands
Beautiful balls can be made from colored paper orcardboard. The paper can be plain or with a pattern. For this simple needlework, we still need the most common glue, scissors and ribbon or a nice, thick thread.
Step 1. With the help of a glass, a mug or a circular, we draw circles on colored paper and cut them out. The number of circles for one ball can be any, but it is better to draw 6-8 pieces.
Step 2. We put each circle in half. In this beautiful face should be inside.
Step 3. On one half of the wrong side, we apply glue and carefully glue the halves of the circles together. We should have a kind of harmonica.
Step 4. Before you glue the last two halves of the future ball, thread the ribbon.
Despite the simplicity of manufacturing, the ballsare very beautiful. They can be made in different sizes and colors. In order for them to hold the form for a long time, it is better to use colored cardboard. Balls look good on the tree. From them you can make cute garlands or hang in window openings.
Christmas balls made of paper
We again need color cardboard, preferably with a picture or cute cards, scissors, glue and ribbon.
Step 1. Draw on the paper with a conventional glass or a glass of 8 identical circles. Cut them out.
Step 2. Using a narrower glass or a glass, draw two smaller circles and also cut out. They should be about 2-3 times less than the first.
Step 3. Bend large circles in half, and fold them in half again. As a result, we will get a quarter.
Step 4. Four folded large circles are neat andproportionally paste on small. The result is a circle with pockets. The same must be done with the remaining 4 large circles and one small one.
Step 5. The resulting halves must be glued together. That is, one small circle is glued to the other. When the glue dries, the pockets need to be neatly straightened.
Christmas balls of thread with their own hands
According to many, the most beautiful Christmas balls are obtained from threads. To make it, you will need: glue PVA, balloons and thread. Threads can be cotton, viscose or conventional.
Step 1. Thread the thread into the needle and pierce through the tube or bottle with glue. Passing through the tube, the thread will be impregnated with glue. The needle will now be needed at the very last stage.
Step 2. Inflate the ball of the correct size. It is important that it turns round.
Step 3. Now thread, impregnated with glue, begin to gently and tightly wrap the ball, until we get a kind of cocoon. We leave the design to dry for 5-6 hours.
Step 4. When the form becomes firm, we burst the balloon and gently pull it out. Some prefer to blow off the ball.
Council. Sometimes it happens that the ball firmly adheres to the threads and, pulling it out, you can spoil the shape. There are two ways out. First, before starting work, the inflated ball can be lubricated with cream. But in this case, the threads can slip from it, and you have to tinker. The second option is a bit simpler. After pulling out the old ball, you can carefully insert a new ball into the thread form and inflate it, and then blow it off. At the same time, the strings will be straightened.
Now it remains to tie the ribbon or rope to thethis almost weightless New Year's ball and decide where to hang it. We hope our article will help you decorate your New Year tree with beautiful balls and be proud that you made them with your own hands.
