The symbol of the New Year is a fir tree with lights and balls. Did you know that balls can be made from threads, felt, sequins, discs, and even with a citrus scent? Decoupage technique can update even the most ordinary-looking toy. About ideas that you did not even know about, further in the article with a detailed description.
Basic moments
Absolutely any materials are suitable for needlework:
As a basis, you can take a foam sphere or a simple christmas ball ik made of plastic without decorations. We bring to your attention several master classes on making Christmas balls. They can not only decorate the Christmas tree, but also create a festive interior in the house.
Christmas balls made of threads
Balls made of threads look very gentle and impressive, casting a festive and romantic mood.
For work you will need:
- round Balloon hic;
- PVA glue;
- thick threads (light shades);
- needle;
- scissors.
Operating procedure
Inflate to match the desired size of the future toy. We tie it tightly so that it does not go down ahead of time. We massage with our hands, giving it the correct round shape.
We pass the edge of the thread into the eye of the needle, from which we will make the decoration. We pierce the plastic bottle with glue with a needle and thread it through. The thread, passing through the bubble, will be evenly covered with PVA, which eliminates the need to additionally open all the threads with glue.
It is better to use PVA glue undiluted, otherwise the ball will not keep the desired shape.
Now we pull the thread through the glue and at the same time wind it in different directions, as if we were winding the threads into a ball. We turn the ball intensively in our hands, trying to tightly wind the thread. In the place where the air is tied, we slightly reduce the tension.
We wind the thread to the desired density. Cut the thread, and form a loop at the tip. We leave the workpiece in a dry warm place until the glue is completely dry. You can speed up the drying process by using a hair dryer.
When it becomes completely dry, pierce it and gently pull it out.
We tie a thread or decorative ribbon to the loop and decorate the Christmas tree.
Optionally, you can add sparkles, beads, sequins or other decor to the toy made of threads. A composition of several different diameters looks especially beautiful.
From newspaper tubes
Quite a simple but time consuming manufacturing method.
For work you will need:
- foam blank ball;
- polymer glue;
- old newspapers;
- scissors;
- decor elements (beads, sequins, ribbons).
Operating procedure
The most time-consuming stage is the twisting of flagella from old newspapers. We try to twist the harnesses tightly. If you need a long tourniquet, then glue several short ones together.
In the center of the workpiece we attach the end of the flagellum... Now we begin to lay the tube tightly, securing each new turn with polymer glue. The end of the tube is also securely fixed with a glue gun.
As such, the product can be used to decorate festive decorations. Or you can go ahead and paint it with spray paints in any color, cover it with sparkles, beads, ribbons, etc.
Christmas decorations made of felt
In winter, you always want warmth and comfort, so felt are perfect for decorating your home for the New Year.
For work you will need:
- felt in two colors;
- foam ball;
- cardboard;
- pencil;
- scissors;
- decorative tape;
- pins-nails.
Operating procedure
First you need to draw and cut out two identical templates of a simple flower with five petals from cardboard. Only one template should be slightly smaller.
We apply the pattern to the felt, draw a pencil around the contour. We make large blanks from one color, and smaller ones from another. Depending on the diameter, we need from 20 pieces of blanks of each color.
Now we fold the patterns in pairs, placing the petals in a checkerboard pattern. Cut off about 10 centimeters of a thin decorative tape, glue its edges to the foam blank, forming a loop. Now tightly to each other, bending the top of the petals, attach each flower to the foam in the center with carnations.
The result is bright and soft.
From sequins
A truly festive sparkling ball can be made from sequins. This decorative material has a wide range. Sequins come in different sizes, shapes and colors.
Large sequins can be glued to any, without convex drawings with a glue gun. We apply glue to the ball itself, sequentially gluing sequins in a circle in a checkerboard pattern.
Try to block the holes for fastening on the sequins so that they are not visible on the finished toy.
For working with small sequins, the usual one will not work, but you will need a special foam blank of the required diameter. In the center of each sequin there are holes through which we will attach the sequins to the workpiece with special studs.
By combining various forms and sequin colors, you can create the most bizarre patterns. Your imagination or little helpers will tell you the design options.
The main thing is to fasten the sequins close to each other so that the white base does not show through (it is imperative to provide and fix the loop fastener).
Another option for decorating balls is sequin ribbons. We also glue them with hot glue, carefully placing the turns with a little overlap so that there are no gaps. You can make it solid or alternate turns of several colors.
A bow made of a beautiful iridescent ribbon will look beautiful at the base of the mount. The product will add charm, glued on top of a decorative beaded or twisted cord.
Decoupage technique
Festive ones made using decoupage technique look very elegant and cute. The technique is very simple, but it requires precision.
For work you will need:
Operating procedure
First you need to paint. Pour some white paint into the container, remove the top cap and start covering the surface with paint with a sponge. We put the finished one on a skewer and leave it to dry, putting the structure in a glass.
In order not to throw away paint residues, you can make several balls at once. The pattern can be matched with different new year characters: gnomes, fairies, Santa Claus and Snow Maiden, angels, deer, etc.
With an interval of 1 hour, apply two more layers of paint to completely cover the color of the base. While the paint is drying, we are preparing napkins for decoupage. We iron them with an iron, unfold. Carefully tear off the necessary fragments with drawings on the napkin, remove the thin top layer with the image.
Pour a little PVA into a small container, dilute it with water in a 1: 1 ratio. We apply one of the fragments to the ball, we begin to glue it with a fan brush, starting from the center to the edges of the picture. We try to smooth out all the wrinkles to get a flat surface. Thus, we glue all the desired fragments on the ball, moving in a circle.
Ready to dry completely, put on hats with strings. We open with acrylic glossy transparent varnish in 3-4 layers. While still wet, the varnish can be sprinkled with sparkles for extra shine.
From CDs
If damaged or no longer needed DVDs are lying around at home, they can be successfully used to prepare for the New Year.
For work you will need:
- transparent ball on the Christmas tree;
- hot glue;
- scissors;
- satin ribbon or a piece of brocade;
- old disks.
Operating procedure
Cut the discs into small pieces of different shapes with scissors.
We take a transparent Christmas tree ball, apply a drop of glue, glue a piece of the disc on this place with the iridescent side outward. Thus, we create a mosaic of iridescent pieces, leaving small gaps between them.
Remove the hat, push a piece of brocade or a piece of bright satin ribbon through the hole inside the ball, put the hat back in place, hang the ball on the tree.
There is another way to use old discs for decorating Christmas tree decorations. V In this case, a crumb of discs is used.
To obtain crumbs, grind the disks cut into pieces in an old unnecessary blender, sift through a sieve. The shine will be sifted, and all the plastic will remain in the sieve.
Now we coat the round blank with glue, dip it with its entire surface in the resulting shine. After the glue has dried, brush off all excess gloss with a brush.
With citrus and clove aromas
Each holiday is accompanied by some kind of aroma. New Year- this is the smell of citrus, pine needles and mulled wine with cloves and cinnamon. To maintain the atmosphere, it is imperative to hang fragrant balls from dried oranges or lemons on the Christmas tree.
True, such jewelry will last no more than one season, and for next year will have to make new scented balls.
For work you will need:
- orange (lemon);
- toothpick;
- cloves and cinnamon sticks;
- ribbon;
- wide elastic band.
Operating procedure
We put an elastic band on the citrus so that it tightly wraps around the fruit. Now we make holes with a toothpick where we will attach the carnation buds. Now we loosely insert a carnation bud into each hole we make.
