Openwork balls of thread with their own hands. We make gossamer balloons from threads and glue and decorate the interior. Necessary materials and tools

Good afternoon - today we will make balls of thread ... such openwork spider web balls that can be hung like Christmas toys ... or use as LIGHT and LAMP SHADE... or from such filament balls-cocoons you can make Christmas garland... And such balls of thread can be even candlesticks or other home decor items.

You have seen such balls many times... But in THIS ARTICLE... I will show you the COMPLICATED versions of this technique.

So let's start in order...

1. First I'll show you what's possible MAKE from such balls…
2. And then I'll tell HOW TO DO IT such a ball of thread with your own hands.

What can be done

with the help of BALLS FROM THREADS.

IDEA 1 - Christmas tree.

You can decorate the New Year's table with such balls ... if find a frame. FRAMEWORK will be splayed tree branch... wrap around such a branch with a Christmas tree LED garland and hang balls of thread on the branches.

IDEA 2 - Table compositions with fresh flowers.

It is possible in such openwork balls-cobwebs ... TO FROM THE TOP fit small vases. By the way, vases can be the same small transparent (or white) balls(similar not condoms) into which we collect a little bit of water ... dip the flower heads into them ... and the neck of such a ball is tied to the top of the ball… This is how we see it in the photo below.

It turns out a composition of balls of thread with flowers, which can be used to decorate a wedding ... or a New Year's table

Or you can put these balls in a slide in a flat vase... Pour water on the bottom of the vase ... and stick the stems of tall flowers that are not heavy (for example, gerberas) THROUGH THE BALLS - the balls will keep the flower stems in balance.

And it is important - if you have conceived such a composition with water ... then it is better to roll such a ball of thread NOT from simple threads ... but from metal- that is, from the wire. Because an ordinary thread ball will get wet and lose its shape.

IDEA 3 - threads from balls in SUSPENDED COMPOSITIONS to decorate the holiday.

You can attach such balls to the CHANDELIER - just over the dinner ball... and beautifully lower them so that the balls are at different heights. And it is better to use balls not of the same color - but of two shades that match in composition. Red + white, Green + blue, Gold + brown, etc.

Balls of the same thread color also look beautiful ... but DIFFERENT SIZE…and DIFFERENT DENSITY thread openwork.

That is, we will need to inflate balls of different sizes ... and when we wind our thread dipped in glue on the balls, we will wind it on one ball more and MORE... and on the other ball less and LESS(so that the holes remain).

Such a white composition is perfect for decorating a wedding - if the wedding is planned in the yard, that is, in nature - then such volumetric balls can be fixed on a tree branch.

IDEA 4 - BALLS from threads as table and ceiling lamps.

It is possible to make such filament balls-cocoons table lamps if you carefully insert a chain of incandescent bulbs into the balls ...

You can make one lamp - with one bulb holder. Here in the photo below we see an example of such a lamp made of a gossamer ball. Lamp holder stand Made from regular ICE CREAM STICKS.

You can take this chuck stand idea...or you can buy just a ready-made stand with lamp holder at the craft store... or buy a cheap lamp with a shade and remove the shade from it... and somehow decorate the stand so that it does not look like cheap China (for example, paste over with napkins using decoupage technique ... or overlay with a mosaic of glass pebbles).

Thread balls - can be used as hanging lamps for ceiling lamp. The interior looks beautiful as one plafond - and a whole series of multi-colored lamps (reminiscent of a Japanese-style interior).

This is how beautiful such a lampshade for a lamp can look - in the interior of the room. Bedrooms ... children's ... hallway.

Bulb sockets are sold with a cord ... Or you can buy everything separately and mount it with the hands of an electrician you know.

IDEA 5 - Christmas garland of LED chain and thread balls.

And you can also buy the most ordinary garland with small LEDs- and make thread balls of different sizes and colors. We insert LEDs into such balls - so that they hold and do not jump out of the balls, it is better to fix them with tape or thread.

Such a garland may consist of airy balls of cocoons made of thin wire (as in the photo below). The sheen of the wire will additionally reflect and refract the light from the LEDs.

Or a garland can be made of THREADS balls - then the light of such a garland will be calm and softly diffused (as in the photo below).

These are the beautiful sparkling highlights we get on the wall from such a garland.

Can do ONE LARGE round ball-cocoon of nito to - and stretch a garland into it in a chaotic manner (so that the bulbs are evenly distributed over the entire surface of the ball) - we get a beautiful ball-lamp sparkling with several lights at once (left photo below)

Or can you do decorative GARLAND-SCREEN from thread balls and shiny glass pendants ... (as in the right photo below). A very beautiful and delicate screen-curtain is obtained - due to the fact that the balls are openwork and the airy screen does not look bulky, and the glass beads dilute and decorate the streamy surface of the curtain.

IDEA 6 - SNOWMAN from balls wrapped with threads.

You can also make crafts with your children to decorate the New Year - a snowman made of balls of thread. You need to make three balls of different sizes (plus you can also make small balls on your hands).

IDEA 6 - CANDLESTICKS from balls wrapped with threads.

Balls for candles make it bigger- so that the flame of the candle is away from the walls and top of the ball. And the ball itself must have LARGE HOLES (that is, NOT TIGHT winding) - through these holes, the heat of the candle will immediately disappear ... and the threads will not heat up.

Thread candlesticks can be made hanging (pictured below) ...

And there may be floor (or table)) - like here in the photo below. The bottom example illustrates what if the ball is made larger. Then you can make the cells between the threads smaller. And then, in order to put a candle there, you will need to cut it with scissors in a spider web ball hole on the side... or the hole could be at the bottom.(that is, we cut out the bottom ... we put a candle on the floor and cover it with a ball on top with the part where the hole is in the bottom).

By the way, instead of a candle, you can use a solar-powered garden lantern.

IDEA 7 - balls of thread for the Christmas tree.

And these balls are good to hang on the Christmas tree. Christmas balls are best made from small balloons. (that is, you need to buy small balls (garlands are made of these for a wedding) such balls are sold in hypermarket departments, where there is a shelf with decorations for a children's birthday.

Another thread itself immediately after winding the ball - while it is still wet and sticky from glue - sprinkle with glitter. Sequins can be obtained for free if you finely cut a Christmas tree fluffy garland.

HOW TO MAKE BALLS FROM THREADS -

three easy ways.

ESSENCE OF WORK to create a ball of threads, it looks like this ... We wrap a small balloon with a thread soaked in glue ... And when the glue cocoon of threads dries, we burst the ball, take out its fragments from the cocoon, and get an openwork ball of threads.

Adhesive solutions can be different:

• You can - dilute WALLPAPER glue (starch-based paste) ... or dilute and boil starch yourself with water.

• You can - use SILICATE glue (Soviet transparent for paper)

• You can - use PVA GLUE - in its pure form ... or diluted - then water and sugar are added to it.

And the ways in which the work is done can be different:

METHOD FIRST - through the bottle.

For convenience, it is recommended to thread the needle ... use the needle to thread through the bottle with silicone glue (enlarge, open the hole so that the thread passes freely through the bottle) ... This way we get a “mini-device” for wetting the thread with glue without dirtying the table.

METHOD SECOND- put a skein of threads in a cup of glue - as in the left photo below ... if you do not want to spoil the whole ball (because it is too big) - then you can manually pass the thread through the bowl with glue (as in the right photo)

WITH WHAT STRETCH TO WIND THE THREAD.

The thread on the ball should not be wound very tightly - so that the ball does not shrink and is not compressed by the thread. Otherwise, we will get a crooked product.

HOW TO REMOVE THE BALL CORRECTLY.

The glue ball is best dried for 2-3 days. To make it fit properly. If you start removing the ball before it dries completely, you can get a wrinkled product.

Before bursting the ball, you need to make sure that it easily moves away from the walls of the filament cocoon. To do this, you can gently press the ball with the blunt end of the pencil THROUGH THE HOLES BETWEEN THE THREADS - in different sides of the ball - push the ball with a pencil so that it sticks everywhere from the walls of the cocoon.

After that, we burst the ball and pull out the bursting rag by the tail.

AND ALSO ... you can add a cocoon-cobweb LACE.

But this technique can be supplemented with elements knitted applique from the same threads... For example, you can make a piece of a knitted pattern in advance (as in the photo below) ...

For this, first crochet knit pattern element(this can be a pattern of any crochet napkin) ... a small element, only the first few rows of the pattern ... Glue this lacy knitted circle to the surface of the ball. Drying...

Then we shave the end of the glue thread - and put it in the NEEDLE. And with such a thread with a needle, we begin to carefully (so as not to pierce) wrap the ball, and pick up (along the winding) the edges of the lace appliqué ... and we get a cocoon into which a crocheted lace detail is sewn. Like in the photo below.

Or you can do it differently - EVEN EASIER TO DO

• wrap the ball with thread ... dry ...
• WITHOUT REMOVING the balloon with scissors, cut a round hole (the size is the size of your knitted appliqué) spread glue on this place on the balloon head ...
• wet the knitted appliqué with glue and attach it to the ball (so that its edges touch the edges of the cobweb). When all this is dry, you can remove the ball.

Openwork BALLS made of wire.

By the same principle, balls-windings are made of wire. You just need to do it carefully so that the end of the wire does not crash into the ball and so that the wire itself does not cut the ball ..

Here are some ideas on how to make a ball of thread yourself. As you can see, everything is fast and simple. The whole process can be easily mastered even by a child.

Good luck with your crafts.

Happy New Year to the author of this article, Olga Klishevskaya.

To freshen up a familiar interior or decorate a house for the holidays, it is not necessary to make expensive purchases. Gossamer balls always look impressive as pendants, craft items, Christmas toys, vases and even chandeliers. Let's consider a simple way how you can make a ball out of thread and glue with your own hands.

The essence of making a gossamer craft lies in the technique of wrapping a ball shape with threads impregnated with an adhesive composition. The glue dries, the base is removed - the decoration is ready. Then the ball can be cut or decorated, combined into groups to create a composition, etc.

A few secrets to successfully making gossamer balls

In order to make a ball of thread, first of all, you need to choose the right materials: yarn, glue, shape, glue container, brush, and prepare the workplace.

There are a few simple rules to keep in mind:

1. The thinner the threads (for example, sewing), the faster and more likely the finished product is deformed. To avoid this, they should only be used for small balls (less than 8 cm in diameter). For larger crafts, thicker threads (mulina, yarn, twine, etc.) are needed, as they hold their shape better.
2. Nevertheless, if you have to make a three-dimensional decoration from thin threads, you should apply them quite tightly and, in addition to glue, fix them additionally (for example, with hairspray or transparent construction varnish).
3. To make a gossamer ball, you need liquid glue. Suitable silicate and PVA. (sold in tubes) is more liquid, building (in cans) is thicker and therefore “holds stronger”. Secondary glue, like hot glue, is not good at all.
4. Dip the threads before serving on the form should be entirely. This can be done in two ways. In the first case, the thread will be dipped into the glue poured into an open container. In the second - go through the jar of glue, through the opposite holes at its bottom. The "correct" holes in the tube are slightly larger than the thickness of the thread (it is well wetted with glue), but the contents of the container do not flow onto the desktop.
5. No need to insert candles inside crafts or install in a room with high humidity. In the first case, the ball can easily catch fire, in the second case, it can lose its shape and “go soft”. In order not to abandon the idea of ​​​​installing lighting inside the ball, we advise you to choose LED bulbs based on batteries.

Detailed instructions for making balls of thread

Consider the whole process step by step. It is simple, and it can take only 15-20 minutes to get the first blank.

Step 1. Let's choose a base. To do this, they most often use balloons of different diameters or fingertips (sold in pharmacies) - for small crafts. They are good because at the end of the work they are easy to take out: pierce them and, after the air has escaped, get them through the gap without damaging the shape of the threads.

Harder bases: rubber balls and foam balls (used most often for topiary), are perfectly rounded than inflatable forms. But at the same time, they are more difficult to extract at the final stage.

Step 2 Let's prepare the form. The base, which will be tied with threads, should easily lag behind the adhesive layer of the product after drying. To do this, the entire form should be coated with petroleum jelly or oil (from a pharmacy), or liquid silicone (inexpensive, in small jars or in the form of a spray, which is much more expensive, can be purchased at sports equipment stores or auto cosmetics). It is better to remove excess lubricant with a napkin so that the yarn does not slip off the surface during operation.

Step 3 We wrap the base. Threads well moistened in glue are placed randomly on the ball. It is advisable to do this so that the threads do not intersect in one place more than 2 times. You should not stretch the winding too much (especially on an inflatable base), but nothing should sag either. In places where there is not enough glue, you need to additionally apply it with a brush.

Step 4 Drying. At this stage of work, you need to let the whole craft dry. To do this, it is desirable to hang it in a dry and warm place so that it does not touch any surface (it will not stick). Depending on the size, thickness of the winding and humidity, the product can dry up to two days. To get the finished result much faster, it is permissible to use a hair dryer.

Step 5 We take out the base. After the ball is completely dry, you need to remove it from its original shape. If it is a balloon, then it is usually pierced and taken out through any suitable hole.

Step 6 We decorate. Any fairly light materials are suitable for decorating gossamer balls. These can be applications or inscriptions made of paper, beads, rhinestones, sequins, ribbons, etc. Balls collected in a group look spectacular. For example, for a New Year's wreath or garland.

The filling in balls will look beautiful: large beads, tinsel, serpentine, foil, confetti, etc. If necessary, the product can be painted. Aerosol paints are best for changing colors. With their help, it is easy to get shiny or matte gold and silver balls.

Advice! Hot glue is best for attaching jewelry: it is transparent, quickly hardens and gives a very strong connection.

Some interesting options for crafts from spider webs

A fairly dense ball of thread and glue can be used for topiary or other types of crafts. The main thing is that the fragile base can withstand additional decorative elements. Consider the technique of performing some of them.

Snowman

You will need:

• three different-sized balls of white (or blue) yarn,
• eye buttons,
• orange paper nose cone
• branches for hands
• round pieces of cotton for legs,

To assemble a pyramid of balls - a blank for a future toy - you need to lightly press on a larger ball from both sides to make neat dents. Glue a medium-sized ball to one of them, and place the other on the work surface. The third part (head) is also attached.

All remaining parts are glued to the finished base. At the end, you can tie a bright yarn scarf.

Advice! To make even dents on the ball, lightly moisten this place with a wet brush.

Topiary - "tree of happiness"

For its manufacture you need:

• one ball ("crown" of the tree),
• a small pot with filler (pebbles, coffee beans, beads, etc.) to “plant” our “plant”,
• wooden or wire stick for the "trunk",
• glue,
• ornaments ("leaves" and "flowers").

Making a topiary is not so difficult: just assemble the frame (attach the ball to the stick), place the “trunk” in the pot, fill it with filler and decorate.

Most often, crepe paper flowers, satin ribbon bows, coffee beans, beads, strips of quilling paper and much more are used for the “crown”. All this is attached to hot glue with a gun.

Flowers

Making them is very easy. All that is needed is to cut the petals around the diameter of the ball with cloves. From one ball, 2 identical blanks are obtained. Flowers can be decorated with beads, beads, "stamens" made of wire, etc.

Birds, animals

Since these crafts are very simple, they are great for competitions in kindergarten or for decorating a Christmas tree. For their manufacture, paper blanks of “wings”, “paws”, “tails”, “tufts”, etc. are needed, which are glued to the “trunk” - a ball of thread.

Vase or bowl

To get a vase or a deep plate from a gossamer ball, you need to carefully cut it in half. For the bottom, you need to slightly moisten the bottom and press it inward. When the product dries again, it will retain the desired shape.

To make the hemisphere of threads stronger, it is recommended to coat it on both sides with a colorless varnish. True, it will be possible to use such an item only for decorative purposes: it will not withstand moisture and a significant load. But at the same time it will become a highlight of any interior.

I have already tried the tips from this article, I would still continue and the threads with glue are over))))) I share with you)))))) today I will make Christmas trees from threads there is a photo below, I want one))) maybe you will be inspired ))

Types of creativity: Nitkography Difficulty: low Working time: 2 hours

Greetings, masters and craftswomen!

Materials and toolsthat we need:

Balloon (for a smaller volume, fingertips are used, which are sold in a pharmacy; for a larger volume, inflatable balls);

Threads (any will do: ordinary for sewing, floss, iris, woolen for knitting);

Glue (PVA, silicate, stationery);

Needle, scissors;

Vaseline (you can use fat cream or oil);

For decoration: beads, feathers, beads, sequins, semolina or powdered sugar, etc.

Step by step instructions on how to make a ball of thread:

1. Inflate the balloon to the desired size. Wind a thread on the tail of the ball in reserve ~ 10 cm - for the future loop, on which the ball will subsequently be hung to dry.

2. Lubricate the surface of the ball with petroleum jelly to make it easier to detach from the glued threads later.

3. Soak the threads with glue. When using threads of different colors, very beautiful weaves are obtained.

There are several ways:

1. Pour the glue into some container with which it is convenient for you to work, and soak the threads in it for 5-10 minutes. Dilute PVA glue with water (1: 1) before soaking, as it is too thick. Make sure that the threads do not tangle when soaking.
2. Take a tube of glue and with a hot needle, make two holes in it opposite each other. Thread the thread through the holes with a needle (when pulled through the tube, the thread will be smeared with glue). Instead of a bottle of glue, you can take a Kinder Surprise egg, or another small plastic bottle, for example, from a medicine or from the same silicate glue, and pour glue into it.
3. Wind the dry thread around the ball (skip step 4 and go directly to step 5), and then carefully saturate it with glue using a brush or sponge.

4. Fasten the end of the thread impregnated with glue to the ball (you can use adhesive tape, adhesive tape, protective tape to fix the thread on the inflatable ball). Then randomly wrap the entire surface of the ball with a thread, as if on a ball - each turn in the opposite direction. If the threads are thick - make fewer turns, if the threads are thin - wind them more tightly. Hold the threads in your hands with a slight tightness, and also make sure that the thread is well wetted with glue. If the bottle runs out of glue, refill.

5. After winding, leave again a long tail for the loop, winding it again on the tail of the ball, cut the thread and hang the ball wrapped with threads to dry. Dry the ball thoroughly for 1-2 days - the finished cocoon should be hard. Don't try to speed up the process by hanging the balloon next to a heater - the rubber that balloons are made of doesn't like that, and hot air can cause the balloon to burst. An indispensable thing when drying is a dryer for small clothes with clothespins. On the dryer, you can dry several balls at once, and they will not stick together.

6. When the glue is completely dry and hardened, the balloon must be removed from the cobweb craft.

There are two ways:

1. Peel off the ball from the cobweb using a pencil with an eraser on the end. Gently pierce the ball with a needle in several places and remove it or what is left of it.

2. Untie the balloon knot with which it was tied and it will gradually deflate. This method is practiced mainly when, instead of a balloon, you used an inflatable ball as a basis for winding.

7. Glue the finished gossamer balls together with a hot gun, pushing the gluing place slightly inward. Also, the balls can be sewn together, but this is not easy, because the balls become very strong and hard when dried.

8. Decorate the resulting design with beads, beads, feathers, braid, ribbons, artificial flowers, or any other materials at hand. Cover with paint. To do this, take a can of paint, go out onto the balcony or into the yard. With a slight movement of your hand, direct the colorful jets at the balls waiting for a miraculous transformation. Make the effect of snow: moisten the balls with glue and dip them in semolina or powdered sugar. Spray the balloon with glitter hairspray. Don't expect a special radiance, but light sparks are guaranteed.

Fantasize…

little BIG tricks:

In order for the table not to get dirty during the winding process, it is better to lay something plastic on it, not paper - everything will stick to the paper. Suitable plastic coasters for hot. If not, you can use a corner for documents made of thick plastic. The bottom seam is cut off, the folder is unfolded and straightened, and from it a universal tool is obtained to save the table from glue, paint and other creative layers. In extreme cases, polyethylene is suitable for protecting the workplace.

Instead of glue for work, you can use sugar syrup or paste. Paste recipe: 4 teaspoons of starch in a glass of cold water, mix thoroughly and bring to a boil.

Instead of a thread, you can take a thin copper wire and wind it around the ball in the same way.

To prevent glue from leaking through the hole in the filament tube, put a thin needle on the end of the filament and pierce a piece of electrical tape with it. Tighten the thread in the opposite direction and firmly glue this electrical tape to the jar. Thus, through a small hole in the electrical tape, the glue will wet the thread not so abundantly and will stop randomly dripping from the thread onto the table and clothes.

Approach responsibly when winding the kokan. A poorly tied cocoon crackles and loses its shape during drying, as the ball descends.

Gossamer balls can be not only spherical in shape. As a basis for winding, you can take a cone-shaped object (roll thick paper or cardboard into a cone), a heart, etc.

If you decide to change the color of the ball of threads, then it is best to paint the ball before blowing it off and removing its base - so that the cobweb does not wrinkle during painting. In addition to aerosols, it is convenient to apply paint with a small sponge, inconvenient - with a brush and much longer.

To make the surface of the ball textured, you can coat the balls with glue, roll them in cereals, for example, millet or coffee beans.

And a few more words about threads ...

If an air structure is being prepared, then the threads should be thin, light. For planters for flowers, it is better to take thick threads or even ropes and do not spare glue. Thread color can be any. It really depends on the glue you use. When the glue is transparent and leaves no residue, you can experiment by wrapping the ball with threads of different shades. Get even more interesting.

The use of gossamer balls is limitless: just as an element of decor, and as a lampshade, and as New Year's toys. From several of these balls of thread, you can make snowmen, birds, fish.

Fantasy is limitless, let's use it!
Good luck to you and your children in CREATIVITY!

PS: Through the cracks between the threads it is very entertaining to look inside the ball, ... it seems that there is another world inside. No, well, honestly, it's impossible to break away

Photo collection of ideas:

If you have an idea to decorate your house for the holiday, but do not have enough money for this, then crafts from balls of thread will allow you to do this without damaging the family budget. These decorations are very easy to make. Even a child can cope with such work, and the results of their own work will bring joy to the baby. In this article, we will learn how to make at home and use crafts in the interior.

Necessary materials and tools

• Balloons (if you need a small balloon, then the fingertips purchased at the pharmacy are perfect for this).
• Threads (whatever you like - for knitting, sewing, embroidery, etc.).
• Scissors.
• Needle.
• or stationery.
• Vaseline (if not, then any greasy cream and even vegetable oil will do).

We make balls from threads with our own hands: instructions

The very first step is to inflate the balloon to the desired size. Tie the end with a thread, be sure to leave the tail longer. This is necessary in order to have something to hang the basis of our future crafts from balls of thread to dry. Then lubricate the ball over the entire surface with cream or petroleum jelly. If this is not done, then the threads will be very difficult to disconnect later. We impregnate the selected threads with glue. By the way, when using multi-colored balls of weaving will be very beautiful. With the help of an adhesive plaster or adhesive tape, we attach the tip of the thread soaked with glue to the balloon and begin to wrap the entire surface of the balloon with arbitrary movements. We do this as if we are winding a ball. The speed depends on the thickness of the thread: if it is thin, the density of the winding is greater, if it is thick (for knitting), it is less.

During operation, it is necessary to ensure that the thread is well saturated with glue. Keep it while winding the balloon without pulling too hard.

When the process of winding the threads is completed, leave one more long tip and tie it to the tail of the ball. Now it's the turn of drying the future crafts from balls of thread. It usually happens within 24-48 hours. It is necessary that the cocoon becomes completely solid. No need to hang blanks over heating devices to speed up the drying process. The rubber from which the balls are made can burst from hot air, and then all your efforts will be in vain. We recommend hanging them on a clothes dryer, fixing them with clothespins. After the glue becomes solid, the balls are removed. And how to do it correctly so that the balls of thread, created with your own hands, do not lose their shape and what methods of applying glue exist, you will learn by reading the article further.

Options for impregnating threads with glue

• If you have to work with PVA glue, then it must be diluted with water in a 1: 1 ratio. Pour the glue into a suitable container and soak the threads in it for about 10 minutes. Confusing them should be avoided.
• Wrap the ball with a dry thread and then carefully, using a brush or sponge, soak the workpiece with glue.
• Using a hot needle, pierce the tube of glue so that the holes are opposite each other. Thread the thread into the needle and pull it through the resulting holes. Thus, it will be impregnated with glue. If you have glue in a large container, then you can pour it into a disposable plastic cup.

How to properly remove the ball from the workpiece?

• We untie the knot of the ball and let it gradually go down, then carefully remove it.
• The second way: using a simple pencil, at the end of which there is an eraser, we peel off the ball from the thread frame and pierce it with a sharp object in several places. We take out.

Now you know everything about how to make a ball of thread, and you can start decorating our craft. Although in itself it looks original and can become an independent decoration of the house.

air fantasy

And the ball will fit perfectly into and it is done very simply. Three blanks of white thread, made according to our description, are interconnected with glue. We glue the eyes, ready-made or made of paper, spout. It can also be made from red threads, only for this we wrap not balls, but paper rolled up with a cone. After it dries, remove and cut to desired length. We sew. If you make a loop on the top of your head, then our snowman can be hung, for example, on a Christmas tree, if its size is small.

Stylish and original Christmas tree decorations, it turns out, can be made by yourself without spending huge amounts of money on it. New Year's balls made of threads will become an exclusive decor for the forest beauty. Having made small thread balls, we decorate them at our discretion: with beads, various ribbons, sequins, beads, feathers - do not hold back your imagination, everything that is in the house will come in handy, even the well-known semolina. Yes, yes, if you moisten the ball with glue and dip it in this cereal, you get the effect of frost.

Little tricks

I wanted to make crafts from balls of thread, but there was no glue in the house? Do not despair and do not postpone your desire for another day! It can be replaced with paste or sugar syrup. The paste is made like this: starch (4 teaspoons) is stirred in a glass of cold water and brought to a boil.

Need a red ball, but only white threads? It’s also not scary: we take the paint and repaint, only this must be done before the ball is deflated and removed from the base.

To give texture to your creation, we coat the ball with glue and roll it, for example, in millet or coffee beans.

From simple materials such as glue and thread, you can make many interesting crafts. Making them is quite simple, so even children will be happy to participate in this process.

Moreover, the crafts are inexpensive, because they only need threads, inexpensive PVA glue and colored paper to make them.

On ball of glue and thread you will need the following materials:

• PVA glue,
• balloon,
• threads "Iris",
• scissors,
• big needle.

1. To make this original craft, you need PVA glue, an inflatable ball, threads No. 40-60, colored paper, ribbon, thick thread.
2. The balloon must be inflated to the size of an ordinary apple. Thread the tip of the thread into the needle and pierce through the bottle with PVA glue. Since the tip will harden, the needle can be removed.
3. The thread is carefully wound around the ball, while the turns are best done in different directions.
4. The resulting "cocoon" must be dried for 4-5 hours. It should be solid. The rubber base must be pierced and carefully pulled out.

For a cockerel, you will need two balls - on the body and head, which will need to be glued together.

It remains to decorate the craft with colored paper, making a beak, eyes, scallop and breast of a bird.

You don't need a balloon to make this toy. The feather is very natural, looks beautiful both on its own and as a decoration on greeting cards.

1. We begin the work with the winding of the floss wire. All threads must be cut into pieces of the same length.
2. In turn, they need to be tied on a wire so that the knots lie on the same line.
3. The workpiece must be dipped in glue so that the floss is well saturated.
4. Then the pen must be spread out and straightened on the surface and left to dry completely.
5. Next, the edges are trimmed to make the pen smooth and beautiful.

The resulting craft can be glued to the base and make an original postcard.

Toys and interesting and useful items for the home are easy to make from cocoons cut in half. So, it's easy to make a candy bar.

In order for it to stand steadily on the table, you need to press it against the table with a round jar and turn it several times. This will allow the threads to seal at the bottom. In order to strengthen the bottom, it is worth cutting out a round base from paper and gluing it to the bottom from the inside and outside. You can decorate the candy bowl with ribbon, rhinestones, sequins.
