Papier mache balls. Sweet New Year's balls. Master Class. Craft for the New Year: a ball of bows
Soon New Year and everyone wants a fairy tale, a holiday, joy, so that the house is cozy and beautiful. What would New Year be without a Christmas tree? New Year's toys and balls.
Today we will offer several creative ideas how to do christmas balls with your own hands.
How to make a New Year's ball from fabric
Every home has bright fabric scraps, ruffles, and ribbons. First you need to make the base. We take different rags (you can use old socks) and make a tight ball out of them. You can also take a foam ball. And then - the flight of your imagination. You can sew the shreds to the ball in the form of ruffles, or first give the shreds the shape of triangles, rectangles and sew them tightly to the ball. As a result, we ended up with interesting, squashed balls.
We take strong threads, PVA glue, small balloons, glitter.
First, we inflate the balloon to the size we want our balloon to be. We tie it with thread. We spread the remaining length of the thread with glue and wrap our balloon. Cover the thread with glitter and wait until it dries and becomes hard. Then we burst the ball and carefully pull it out of the middle with tweezers. We got a beautiful openwork ball.
We can also use lace and cover it with glue just like thread.
DIY Christmas balls made of polystyrene foam
For the base of the toys, you can take foam plastic. It can be decorated with multi-colored soft felt, beads, sparkles, paper products, and ribbons.
Interesting ideas for DIY New Year's balls
When you have a huge Christmas tree, you want what would be on it more toys. Let's make balls from a floral sponge that can be cut out in the shape of any figure and pinned with pins small toys flowers, twigs.
For those who love antique things, you can make matching New Year's balls. We take the lace, glue it onto the toy and apply paint using a brush or sponge.
You can also decorate discs.
It’s funny when toys in the form of sweet treats hang on the Christmas tree. It's very easy to do. We roll a glue-covered foam ball in glitter, and glue a thread on top to which we will hang the toy. For a twist, glue on a berry. Then we put our ball into a special cupcake pan pre-coated with glue.
Original DIY Christmas decorations

So many lights have grown
On merry Christmas trees! (S.Ya. Marshak)
Yes, yes, yes... At home, kindergarten and school Christmas trees what doesn't grow: New Year's cones and balls, figures and pendants created by children's hands! I suggest you do it New Year's souvenir, which you can hang on the Christmas tree or give to your loved ones!
Step by step process performing the work:
Everything we need can be easily found in any kindergarten group: inflatable balls, printer paper, newspapers, napkins (colored and white), PVA glue, gouache, water, colored packaging tape, brushes, sippy cups, mixing container liquids, scissors.
We inflate small balloons, tear newspapers and copier paper into small pieces, dilute PVA glue with water in a 1/1 ratio in a container.
First, we glue the ball with a layer of newspaper pieces soaked in adhesive liquid.
Then a layer of paper.
We repeat the procedure several times and place it on the radiator to dry.
We form “tails” from pieces of a white napkin moistened with adhesive liquid (glue the rubber ties of the balloons with several layers of napkin) and dry again.
Add a little white gouache to the glue and prime our crafts.
We cut out New Year's elements from napkins: snowmen in multi-colored hats, Christmas trees, snowflakes. We place the parts on the “ball” and carefully, directly on top of the drawing, with a brush dipped in glue, apply the napkin to the craft.
A few minutes on the battery and you can tie the ribbons.
New Year's gifts for parents are ready! “Balls” will look great on your home Christmas tree among other toys.
And I primed one souvenir blue.
When I glued the snowmen on, it became clear that they were somehow “lost” against the blue background. Then the idea arose to paint on the details directly on the napkin with white gouache, and at the same time highlight the top of the craft.
This souvenir will hang on my Christmas tree! When the holidays are over, it will go into storage in a box along with other Christmas tree decorations. On next year me and the guys in kindergarten let's come up with another interesting one the right gift for parents! I wish everyone creative success in the new year!
Papier-mâché technique quite simple and interesting. Many children enjoy tearing newspapers into pieces and then covering them with balloon. In addition, inflation balloons useful for the development of children's lungs. Using the papier-mâché technique, you can make, for example, Christmas tree balls. But in the summer this topic is of course not relevant, so you can make a balloon with a basket and send your favorite toy on an air trip to the ceiling
To create a balloon you will need:
balloon
newspapers
PVA glue
water
colored paper
scissors
braid or string
cardboard
1. First, inflate the balloon to the desired size
2. Then we tear the newspapers into pieces. To prepare a glue suitable for the job, dilute PVA glue with water in a container in a ratio of 1 part glue to 3 parts water. Dip pieces of newspaper into glue, let them soak and glue the ball. You need to stick 5-10 layers. Leave a space around the ponytail free of newspapers
4. While the ball is drying, make a box-basket out of cardboard and cover it with colored paper.
Can also be used plastic cups from under yoghurts.
5. We make four symmetrical holes in the top of the cups or boxes.
6. Cover the dried ball with colored paper and make two holes close to each other in the upper part.
7. Now we measure two ropes of equal length. We take one, thread it through one hole in the ball and pull it out through the second, center it and lower it down the ball. We tie the ends of the rope to opposite holes in the basket. We do the same with the second rope, tying the ends to the two holes remaining in the cup.
8. At the top of the ball around the ropes, you can make a loop from a small piece of rope so that you can hang the ball.
From many options New Year's balls , you can choose those that are easy to make from paper or fabric, for example.
You can also try decorate old balloons, or those that do not have a bright pattern.
You can purchase in specialized stores foam or plastic balls, which can also be beautifully decorated and hung on the Christmas tree.

The New Year is rushing towards us! New Year's Ball Parade!Christmas balls made of fabric
To create a New Year's ball from fabric you will need:
A foam ball with a diameter of about 7 centimeters;
- colored synthetic fabric;
- a lot of safety pins;
- a string of white beads;
- scissors, heat gun.
Christmas balls made of fabric step by step:
Cut the fabric into squares with sides about 5 centimeters. For special texture, it is advisable to use squares of two shades (photo 2).
To simplify the workflow, draw median lines directly on the foam ball. In total, you need to make eight lines located at an angle of 45 degrees to each other (photo 3).
Take a square of fabric and fold it in half, then in half again. Attach the square to the axis of intersection of the median, pin safety pin(photo 4).
Also fold squares of a different color into four parts and pin each ball crosswise to the surface (through one median) (photo 5).
Next comes a layer of squares that need to be pinned in the same way as the first, but stepping back a little from the center and closing the gaps (missing medians) (photo 6). Continue pinning fabric squares to the ball until you have covered exactly half the surface of the ball (Photo 7). It is advisable to make the second half plain (photo 8).
On back side Glue a thread of beads to the surface of the ball using hot glue, twist this element in a spiral (photo 9). While working, a cobweb of glue may remain on the beads - this is not scary. After a few minutes, when the glue has completely dried, the cobwebs can be easily removed (photo 10).
The New Year's ball made of fabric is ready! As you can see, there is nothing complicated in this technique. With great desire and perseverance, you will receive an originally decorated New Year tree.

New Year patchwork ball.
To make a New Year's patchwork ball you will need:
Scraps of fabric;
- foam ball blank (any size);
- pins;
- felt-tip pen/pen;
- tape measure/centimeter;
- glue stick;
- wooden skewer;
- breadboard knife, compass, scissors;
- lace, ribbon, etc. for decorating the ball.
New Year's patchwork ball step by step:
Take a foam ball as a base, in this case 60 mm in diameter. Using a centimeter, mark the center line on the ball, divide the circumference in half, mark with pins - these will be the lower and upper points of the ball (photo 1). Using a centimeter, draw another line through these points, dividing the ball into four equal parts (photo 2). By analogy, divide each part of the ball in half, so you will divide the ball into eight equal parts (photo 3).
Now draw a transverse line along the center of the ball. To do this, divide each line from the bottom and top points of the ball (where it was marked with pins) in half, and draw a transverse line along the marks (photo 4-5).
Next, take a compass, place it first at the top point of the ball, draw a circle, then do the same on the other side (photo 6). As a result, you will get a blank, as in photo 7. Make cuts along all the lines (that were marked) using a stationery knife to a depth of approximately 1-2 cm (photo 8).
You will need two templates, one in the shape of a triangle, the other in the shape of a trapezoid. Draw templates on paper, adding an allowance of about 7-8 mm. We advise you not to rush and not to cut out all the elements at once. First, try to cut out one part and secure it to the ball. It is likely that you will need to adjust the pattern, increase or decrease the allowance.
In this case, only two types of fabric were used, so 8 triangles and trapezoids were cut out of plain red fabric and the same number of elements from fabric with branches (photo 9). To secure small elements, use a glue stick, which fixes the fabric parts and prevents them from moving (photo 10).
Then, using a wooden skewer, begin to carefully tuck the excess fabric into the slits, paying due attention to the corners. For convenience, use a large needle with a blunt tip. For large items, a sandwich knife with a rounded tip is suitable (photo 11-12).
By analogy, fill all the parts (photo 13). And after a couple of hours, admire the result (photo 14-15). Now all that remains is to decorate the ball with ribbons, cords, beads, bells, pompoms, and caps for beads (photo 16).
New Year's balls made of threads.
To create Christmas balls from threads you will need:
Air balloons
- dense decorative threads or thin multi-colored cords
- PVA glue + glue container in which you will need to make holes
- needle, scissors
Christmas balls made of threads step by step:
Take a balloon and blow it up suitable size. Tie it up. You can knead the ball a little in your hands to give it more round shape.
Thread the decorative thread through the needle and pierce the empty plastic glue container all the way through. It is better to do this closer to the bottom of the container.
When the thread passes through, pour PVA glue into the container, of which you will need quite a lot. It is not advisable to dilute it with water.
When using a thin ribbon, you can soak it completely in glue (Figure 3).
Pull the thread through a container of PVA, soaking it entirely with glue, and wind it around the base ball. When winding the thread, the ball must be turned frequently. At the same time, do not forget that the balloon will need to be removed later, so leave a little space in the area where the balloon is tied.
Once the desired density of the ball winding has been achieved, cut the thread, leaving a small tail to create a loop (for hanging).
Next, the ball must be left until completely dry for 1-2 days or blow dry for about 5-10 minutes. After the glue has completely dried, pierce the balloon with a needle and carefully remove it. It is more convenient to do this through the place where it is tied. Make a loop from the remaining tail of the thread and tie it to the ball.
Decorate the resulting ball as you wish. You can paint it, cover it with sparkles and sequins, or leave it without decoration.
The ball is ready!
New Year's ball made of fabric
To create these New Year's balls you will need:
A foam ball with a diameter of about 10 cm
- tailor's needles with a metal cap
- three types of fabrics (three colors).
The process of creating Christmas balls from fabric:
The first step is to cut a lot of fabric squares. If your ball is 4 inches in diameter, cut the fabric into 3-inch squares. Make 8 squares of one fabric and 16 squares of 2 other fabrics.
You can also use two small pieces of the first type of fabric so that the foam ball does not show through the first layers. First we will make one half of the ball.
Pin one of the 2 fabric squares into the center of the ball; it may bulge a little, but in any case it will be completely covered by the next layer (Fig. 2).
Then take one square of the first material and fold it 4 times to determine its center (Figure 3). You need to insert a pin into the center of the square from the inside out (Fig. 4). Insert a pin with a fabric square into the foam ball (Figure 5). The fabric needs to be folded in half again, pinning the corners (Fig. 5).
You need to pin three more fabric squares (first material) to the ball. The result should be a completely closed fabric top (Figure 6).
Take the squares from the second fabric and start pinning them onto the ball (Figure 7).
Start with 4 squares, which seem to be a continuation of the previous layer. Adjust the distance between layers as desired. In this case it is about 1 cm. Use something like a template to keep all the pieces of fabric the same distance.
Secure four more fabric squares between them, as in Fig. 9-10.
You can stop at two layers or make a third layer similar to the previous one (Fig. 12).
Next, you need to turn the ball over and repeat the above steps with the second half of the ball. However, when placing pieces of fabric on the second side of the ball, it is necessary to take into account the first half, but 100% compliance is not necessary, since the joint will be covered with fabric.
So, the excess material at the junction of the 2 sides can be trimmed off. After which you can cover the joint with the material of the second layer, decorate with an organza ribbon. Pin one edge of the ribbon and sew the other.
You can also make a bow from a ribbon, by which the ball can be hung on a Christmas tree.
Glue or sew, as desired.
Ball made of fabric using the artichoke technique. Master Class.
An excellent master class on creating a completely textile ball with your own hands from scratch.
To create a fabric ball using the artichoke technique you will need:
Fabric for base;
- template paper + pencil;
- needle + thread, sewing machine;
- padding (sintepon/cotton wool).
To decorate the fabric ball:
For the lining there are two red squares, 8 beige squares measuring 5*5 cm, 16 squares of the same size, but of a different color (in this case with green stars), 16 squares of a third color.
- beads for decoration.
Artichoke fabric ball step by step:
1. Creating a fabric ball - the base.
Prepare a pattern from paper (Figure 1). Transfer to the fabric from the wrong side (Fig. 2). You will need to create 4 petals. Cut, remember to leave a seam allowance (Figure 3). Sweep the petals together in pairs (Figure 4-5).
Machine stitch on one side (Figure 6). As a result, you will get “pockets”, as in Fig. 7. Fold them together front side(Figure 8-9).
Sweep or pin. Then we grind it down (Fig. 10-11). Leave a hole on one edge of each petal through which the future ball will turn out and be stuffed (Fig. 12-13).
Fill the ball with filler and then sew hidden seam(Figure 14-15). As a result, you will get a ball, as in Fig. 16.
2. Ball decoration:
Take all the squares for decoration (except for those for lining), fold in half and iron (Fig. 18).
Place the squares intended for lining in the middle of the ball and pin them with pins so that they do not fidget (Fig. 19).
Then take the ironed beige squares (rectangles) and fold them into triangles (Figure 20-21).
Place such a triangle in the middle of the future fabric ball, as shown in Fig. 22 and pin it with pins.
Pin the 4th triangles and get a blank, as in Fig. 23. Start sewing the corners of the triangles. Sew opposite corners of some triangles (Fig. 24), and then others (Fig. 25).
Sew a bead for beauty at the junction (Fig. 26). Bring the needle under the triangles, as shown in Fig. 27. And carefully sew the triangles along the edge to the base of the ball (Fig. 28).
As a result, you will get something like in Fig. 29. Do the same with rectangles with asterisks. First, fold them in the form of triangles, and then put them on the ball and pin them with pins. Place the triangles in the proper order (Figure 30-31). Sew similarly to the previous steps (Fig. 32-34).
Apply triangles of the third color (Fig. 35-38).
As a result, you will get a half of the ball like this (Fig. 39), make the second one by analogy.
After that, cut strips measuring 5*10 cm and fold them in the same way as in Fig. 41. Iron everything. Attach it to the ball and pin it with pins (Fig. 42). This must be done in order to decorate the sides of the ball.
Once again, cut strips 5*10 cm long and fold them as in Fig. 43-44.
Place these triangles on top of the previous ones, as in Fig. 45. Overlap (Fig. 46). Pin everything with pins (Fig. 47) and sew (Fig. 49-50).

Cone using the kanzashi technique. Master Class.
To create a cone using the kanzashi technique you will need:
Satin ribbon about 2.5 cm wide (two colors);
- base ball for ping pong;
- thread, monofilament or thin fishing line;
- thermo gun;
- tweezers;
- bead or attachment to Christmas tree decorations.
Cone using the kanzashi technique step by step:
Initially, cut squares of ribbons of two colors with a side of 2.5 cm and fold them in half in triangular modules(photo
1). One fabric square needs to be secured to a ping pong ball, gluing the center and edges well (photo 2). The base ball should be placed on a small jar, for example, a cream jar - this way it will not roll around on the work surface.
Fold the triangular modules in half again (photo 3). Then make the first row - glue four modules at once onto the surface of the ball so that it looks like a square (photo 4). Subsequent rows should consist of 2 parts, four modules in each.
Glue the second row of modules. Glue the first part of four modules between the parts of the first row (photo 5). And glue the second part between the parts of the first part so that Bottom part both parts of the second row turned out to be at the same level (photo 6).
Also glue all subsequent rows, alternating the colors of the modules (photo 7-8).
After gluing the penultimate row of modules, glue a piece of satin ribbon, hiding the surface of the ball (the same as at the beginning of the work process) (photo 9-10). Next, glue the last row of modules (photo 11-12).
The almost finished kanzashi cone needs to be decorated, starting from the top Christmas decorations. Why collect satin ribbon onto a thread and pull it together to form a bow (photo 13). Hide the middle of the bow by gluing a mount for Christmas balls to it (photo 14).
A cone made using the kanzashi technique is ready to decorate the New Year tree.
Christmas tree ball using kanzashi technique.
To make a Christmas tree ball you will need:
Satin ribbon 2.5 centimeters wide in primary color (about 2.7 m) + ribbon for spirals (about 1.1 m);
- ping pong ball;
- wire, awl;
- decor: sequins, beads, pins, cord for hanging;
- heat gun and all other tools for Kansas production.
Christmas tree ball using quilling technique step by step:
The base will remain inside the Christmas tree decoration, so inexpensive ping-pong balls, which are very light, are best suited. The ball tolerates hot glue well, so there is no need to wrap it in anything and you can glue the “petals” directly onto it.
You will also need to securely attach a ribbon for hanging. Of course, you can simply glue the bead, but you can also secure it more securely by marking the middle approximately on both sides and piercing it through with an awl (photo 1). Then secure the wire with the fixed bead (photo 2). Try on the top (photo 3).
Glue sequins or other decoration and form the top (photo 5). And start gluing the petals.
1st row: 2 white, 2 red, 2 white, 2 red
2nd row: 1 white, 3 red, 1 white, 3 red
3rd row: increase, glue 2 petals each. 2 white, 6 red, 2 white, 6 red
Continue in the same spirit without increasing the quantity.
In photo 10 it is noticeable that the petals are starting to “crowd” too much; it is clearly necessary to reduce them to the original 8 petals. And the last row is also 8. It took 144 petals to make this ball.
You can, of course, take not 8, but 10 petals in the first row, and then the ball will turn out more magnificent, since the petals will be attached more tightly.
The Christmas tree ball using the quilling technique is ready!
New Year's toys made of sequins and beads.
To make New Year's toys you will need:
Foam ball (about 6 cm in diameter);
- sequins and beads;
- needles with pearls.
New Year's toys made from sequins and beads step by step:
Sequins on foam base can be mounted in a chaotic manner using fittings of different colors. So, take a sequin and put it on a needle with a pearl. You can also attach several sequins at once different forms. For example, first put a sequin on the needle blue color in the shape of a snowflake, with blue and/or purple on top.
Begin to carefully insert the needle into the foam ball, trying to fill its entire surface without gaps. You can place one sequin on top of another, but in this case you need to make sure that all the sequins are located at an equal distance from each other.
New Year's toys made of sequins and beads are ready!
DIY unbreakable Christmas balls
To create unbreakable toys you will need:
Floss threads of different colors + needle
- a foam ball, you can cut it yourself from polystyrene foam or make it from foil, newspapers, tightly tied with threads. Can be used different materials, just make sure that the balls don’t turn out too heavy.
- all kinds of decor (you can even use ready-made New Year’s applications)
Unbreakable Christmas balls step by step:
First of all, you will need to wrap a round workpiece with threads, for which you take it and start wrapping it crosswise several times. You need to wind it tightly enough. Finally, secure the end of the thread to prevent unraveling.
Now let's start decorating the ball (here everything will depend on your imagination and the availability of decorations). If you know how and love to embroider, you can embroider all kinds of New Year's ornaments. You can also sew a suitable applique to the toy, decorate it with beads, beads, or fabric flowers.
Finally, don’t forget to make a holder for the finished Christmas tree decoration in the form of a rope, by which the ball will be hung on the Christmas tree.
Sweet New Year's balls. Master Class.
To create New Year's balls you will need:
Chocolate glaze;
- Balloons;
- kandurin;
- soft wide brush;
- baking paper;
- mastic/marzipan;
- wire;
- colander.
Sweet New Year's balls step by step:
Fill a balloon with water, tie it and place it in the freezer for 24 hours. Melt the chocolate glaze and fill it into a bag made of baking paper. Remove the ball from the freezer and remove it from the ice ball that formed from the water in the freezer.
Place the ice ball on the sheet baking paper and paint the ball on all sides with chocolate icing. Any glaze that accidentally gets onto the baking paper rather than onto the surface of the ball, after hardening, remove it from the paper and use it again.
While the ice is melting and flowing through the holes in the chocolate painting, prepare the top for the balls. Twist a loop from the wire, and form a top from mastic or marzipan. Cover everything with silver/golden kandurin. Connect the top to the ball using melted chocolate.
Note: for pearl and silver balls, we recommend using white chocolate icing.
New Year's openwork balls from paper.
We invite you to make these bright, openwork New Year's balls for the New Year that will fit perfectly into the interior or help you decorate the New Year tree.
To create openwork New Year's balls you will need:
Sheets of thick colored paper in A4 format;
- knife for artistic cutting;
- needle and thread;
- glue, scissors;
- beads for decoration;
- template (presented at the end of the article).
The process of creating Christmas balls from paper:
First of all, you will need to print out the templates on paper. If desired, you can resize the template proportionally.
Next, start cutting out patterns using a pattern knife. Part of the paper with the design can be covered with a sheet of paper so as not to accidentally erase the diagram during operation (Figure 2-4). After cutting the pattern, start cutting out the unfolded ball along the contour (Fig. 5).
Now you need to give each part of the cut out diagram rounded shape, for which you can use a round pencil (Figure 6-7).
Then punch holes on both sides at the end of each petal (Figure 8).
Roll the cut paper into a ball and glue the edges of the development (Fig. 9).
All that remains is to make a loop from the thread - and the New Year's ball is ready for hanging.

New Year's ball made of fabric and foam.
To create these New Year's balls you will need:
Styrofoam ball with a diameter of about 7-8 cm;
- satin fabric or other fabric as desired;
- braid or ribbon, decorative beads;
- glue gun;
- scissors, knife.
New Year's ball made of fabric and foam step by step:
First of all, mark the ball. To do this, take a thread, wrap it around and tighten it so that a small groove is formed on the ball for further work. The ball can be divided into any number of parts - 4, 6, 8, etc. In this case it was divided into 4 parts. You can draw the lines with a pencil for convenience.
Next, using a knife/scalpel, make cuts along the marked lines, about 7-8 mm deep. This should be done quite carefully so that the ball does not fall apart in your hands, especially if its diameter is small (less than 6 cm).
Cut a petal out of fabric large size than the slices on foam ball and start tucking in the edge satin fabric inside in a neat manner. First insert to a depth of about 3-5 mm. After you go around the entire outline, cut off the excess fabric and hide the edges. Thus, cover the entire surface of the ball, slice by slice.
Then start decorating. Place the ends of the beads inside the ball. Secure the loop with a drop of hot glue. Moment type glue can cause the foam to begin to melt. Pull the beads tightly until finished form they didn't hang out. And also with the second half of the beads.
Cut the loop to the desired length, add a drop of glue, insert the tails, and press.
The New Year's ball made of fabric and foam is ready!
You can tie a bow, draw snowflakes or glue sequins!
Such a ball will become a great gift for the New Year!
Decoupage of New Year's balls.
To decoupage Christmas balls you will need:
Plastic balls with a diameter of 8 cm;
- three-layer napkins with a pattern;
- acrylic paints different colors: white, blue, yellow + brush;
- PVA glue;
- acrylic lacquer;
- a little semolina;
- sparkles;
- contours on ceramics and glass;
- a piece of sponge for washing dishes;
- plastic board for modeling.
Decoupage Christmas balls step by step:
You can purchase simple balls without a pattern of any colors (gold, purple, silver, matte or glossy.
Take a ball and a piece of sponge, put a little white paint on the board, dab the sponge into the paint and apply it with point movements onto the ball. Make sure that there is always paint on the sponge, then you will get the effect of a snow coating on the ball.
Paint all the balls this way and hang them up to dry for about an hour.
Meanwhile, prepare your napkins. Why separate the top bright layer from the white one. Carefully cut out the design.
Dilute the PVA with water by half and glue the design to the ball. Start gluing from the center of the picture, gradually moving towards the edges. Do this action with all motives.
For balloons with bunnies, make light yellow paint and apply it with “smacking” movements around the motif on a white background.
After the paint has dried, coat the ball with varnish.
Next, let's create a winter effect, for which take a small amount of white paint and mix it with semolina until you get a thick porridge. Using a thin brush, apply to the ball in those places where there will be snow. 
Let it dry. After that, take varnish and small silver sparkles, and cover the semblance of “snow” first with varnish, and then apply glitter.
Decoupage of New Year's balls is completed!

Wool Christmas ball.
In this master class you will see the process of making New Year's wool balls. The process is quite simple and does not require you to master wool felting skills.
At first glance it may seem that it is very difficult to learn felting. felt toys. But such beautiful things can be done without certain skills and special tools. However, in this case, you will still need to purchase wool from a craft store, and then you can make exactly the same wool Christmas ball. Children will be delighted with these balls - they can be removed from the branches and played with snowballs right in the apartment!
For making wool Christmas balls you will need:
Felting wool in different colors;
- padding polyester (other filler);
- sewing needle+ thread, scissors;
- pins with pearls;
- nylon stocking;
- optional decor: beads, sequins.
Wool Christmas ball step by step:
Form a ball of padding polyester and tie it with thread so that it holds its shape. Then evenly wrap colored felting wool around the padding polyester blank, secure it with a felting needle or using regular pins.
After completely wrapping the ball in wool, place it in a nylon stocking and tie a knot. All you need to do is wash the workpiece in hot water(V washing machine) on the “boiling mode” and squeeze at maximum speed. Then remove the ball from the stocking and dry it.
Start decorating - mark the future design with pins. Decorate the ball with woolen threads, securing them with pins with “pearls”, thereby laying out the desired pattern. Secure the resulting decor using sewing threads, while decorating the ball with beads and sequins in the places where the pattern is secured.
Attach a beaded loop to the top of the Christmas ball and you can hang it on the tree.
Happy Holidays!
painting glass ball to the Christmas tree.
To paint the ball you need:
Glass bowl;
- contour for glass and ceramics;
- stained glass paint varnish based (here from Hobby Line);
- paint for creating pearls (here from Viva Dekor);
- thin synthetic round brushes number 1 or 2 (ideally, each color has its own brush);
- the most inexpensive nail polish remover (acetone);
- cotton pads, rag.
Painting a glass ball on a Christmas tree step by step:
First, think about what you will depict on the ball. Here, elements of lace served as inspiration (photo 2). Apply the design with a silver outline. First, you can draw a schematic drawing using a washable marker and make sure that the outline is located next to the line and not on it. While painting, the ball can be placed on a mug or glass - this way it will be fixed and will not turn over (photo 3). Since the ball is round, first paint one part and let it dry (this way you don’t accidentally push the drawing together while working) (photo 4).
After you have painted the entire surface of the ball and allowed it to dry completely, proceed directly to painting. For this ball, white and blue stained glass varnish paints were used. For the third color they were mixed together in the lid (photo 5). Carefully drop paint onto a fragment of the design and stretch it to the edges. To the benefits varnish paints include - quick drying and complete absence there are air bubbles on the surface, which is quite important when painting small elements (photo 6). Let the paint dry before starting to paint the adjacent element so that the paints do not mix (photo 7).
Slowly paint the entire surface of the glass ball. Let it dry by hanging it somewhere, just make sure first that the paint will not bleed (photo 9). Decorate the ball with paint to create pearls (photo 10). Place drops different sizes wherever you want. Let dry.
Clean paint brushes using nail polish remover and cotton pads. By changing the color of the outline and paints, you can paint a couple more balls.

Christmas ball decor polymer clay.
To create such a ball you will need:
Clay of two colors (in this case red + white);
- glass ball;
- two 18-inch strips about 2x4 long;
- extruder;
- wax paper;
- glue;
- rope/ribbon for hanging.
We decorate the Christmas ball with polymer clay step by step:
Drill a hole in the top of the bar that is slightly larger than your extruder. Fasten the two planks and attach with connecting loop. Next, you need to close the slats and create a shallow hole in the bottom of the slats in the same place. This will prevent the piston from slipping. To use this design, simply insert an extruder with clay into it.
Then put two pieces of clay of different colors together and wrap them in wax paper, the ends of which should be slightly longer than the “sausages” (Fig. 8-9).
Now, using an extruder, you need to squeeze out two-color strips of clay (Figure 10). Then clean the piston from the extruder and proceed to the next step (Figure 11).
Take one of the resulting thin strips and lay it out on your work surface. Cut one end and start twisting into a spiral (Figure 13).
Then place the twisted spiral of clay in the lower center of the glass ball and gradually begin to wind this strip onto the ball in a spiral (Figure 13-14). Use glue to hold the clay on the surface of the ball. When you have covered half the ball, carefully trim the end of the “sausage”.
It’s easier to work with clay when it’s not raw, so hang the ball on a wooden stick or toothpick, and place the ball itself in glass container and bake in the oven for 30 minutes at 265F. After the ball has cooled, remove its iron top and continue wrapping it with clay.
Continue until you completely cover the surface of the ball with clay. Try to connect the “clay sausage” as clearly and evenly as possible. Then replace the iron ball mount and bake for 30 minutes.
Ready ball decorate with a beautiful bow!
