To make the interior of the house stylish and original, it is not necessary to decorate it with the purchase of things. Decorations can be made with their own hands - it will not only give a pleasant and interesting pastime, but also help create a festive atmosphere in the house with the desired mood. At the same time, the color scheme of the holiday is thought out and it is one decor that comes to this significant day. In addition, purchased jewelry are monotonous, and their own hands are one of its kind.

One of the easiest solutions. The technique of manufacturing these crafts is simple, time will need not so much, the cost of material is small. And paper balls look ambitious - they are filled with all the space, hit the imagination - it seems that it is impossible to do this manually, the balls look so not tremble.

From the history of the appearance of paper balls

China is considered to be China. It has long been there flying paper lanterns, they are very popular and now - they are launched into the air, placing inside oil lamps. Flying into the night sky and endangered among the stars somewhere in the clouds lit by the moon, glowing lights - fascinating sight. Paper Chinese lanterns and ran, in the future, on the idea of \u200b\u200bmaking paper balls. They began to decorate festive events in America and Europe.

Today all over the world in the trend to create interiors with décor from paper garlands, colors and balls for the time of celebrations. Products made of multi-colored and brilliant paper look elegant, fragile and weightless. Premises easily, because paper balls do not weigh anything. In addition, paper is an environmentally friendly material that does not clog the environment, it is subject to recycling, that is, the use of paper jewelry contributes to the conservation of nature. In general, paper balls are one of the directions of modern fashion in the design of festive and solemn interiors.

Types of paper balls

Paper balls are used in the decoration of the rooms, they can be selected by the method of manufacture and colors thematically. For example, multi-colored balls are suitable for a children's birthday, and the wedding hall can be decorated with balls in pastel colors. It is considered to be stylish milking balls of one color, but different sizes. Little paper balls can be decorated with New Year tree. The technique of execution of balls from paper is different, and they look everything in different ways.

Balls make from:

  • circles of paper;
  • from paper pyramids, stitched together by the ends (in Japanese - "Kushudam").

You can also make a paper harmonica and "ball origami". But for a start it is worth mastering the two simplest techniques on small balls - a ball of paper wheels and a ball of paper stripes.

Preparation for work

So that work immediately began to argue, first we need to stock all necessary for needlework. The following materials and tools will be needed:

  • pack of colored paper;
  • bilateral scotch or adhesive pencil;
  • satin ribbon;
  • tight cardboard sheet;
  • coil sewing thread;
  • scissors;
  • sewing needle;
  • stapler;
  • circul (can be replaced with a cup or saucer and simply circling around them);
  • for decoration - brilliant sequins.

When choosing materials, you need to pay attention to some things. Buying colored paper, you should look at the density of sheets - they must be medium density. If the paper is too thin, the ball can be leaned or bore on bends. Too dense sheets are difficult to gently bent over the lines.

Conventional colored paper can be replaced by corrugated - the ball will seem place of openwork and even more air. Interesting crafts are obtained from color paper "Tishya" - such paper goes to the manufacture of Papiros, it is very thin and transparent, it will be necessary to take it in several layers for each ball element. But the balls of quiet look very gently.

Tight cardboard needed for the manufacture of a template (stencil) circle. Deciding with the size of the balls, on the cardboard with a circulation or a saucer, you need to draw the circle of the desired diameter and cut it. For this workpiece - circle circles on color paper.

Satin ribbon in the manufacture of balls is not a trifle at all, and an important accessory who gives the craft complete view. For small balls need a narrow tape. The color of the ribbon should be harmonized with a color gamut ball.

Step-by-step managing of a ball of paper circles

  1. Take several sheets of colored paper. It is important that they were colored on both sides, then the ball will look beautiful from all angles.
  2. On the paper on the pre-harvested stencil of the desired diameter to circle a mug. Carefully cut circles.
  3. Circles should be 48 pieces - 12 circles of four different colors.
  4. Each circle bend in half to diameter and folded them with a pile on each other.
  5. A needle with a thread to flash the blank of the ball on the line of the joint with a dense line (you can simply make a staple mug).
  6. The final stage, the most painstaking: all neighboring semicircles should be gently glue with each other adhesive pencil (easier and faster - pieces of bilateral scotch). That is, so that it was clear if only two mugs bent in half were glued together, they would have to be glued with each other only by halves so that when they were placed, it turned out the basis of a circle with a vertical partition in the middle of the semicircle. And when gluing a ball of 48 laps, all circles must be glued with both halves with halves of adjacent. When the last two circles remain, the workpiece will become like a fan on a round base. When gluing the halves of these last two circles - the aircraft will automatically cover the ball.
  7. The satin ribbon of the desired length (from it there will be a loop - you can make any length, depending on where the cauldron will be suspended) the edges will be suspended with a sharp red-hot knife so that they do not bloom. The knife can be rolled over the gas burner of the kitchen plate, in the fire of candles or lighters.

Now it remains to straighten the workpiece - so that the "petals" stood apart from each other at an equal distance. Make a hole in one of the "petals", put the ribbon in it and tie it with a bow or neat knot. The ball of paper is ready.

Step-by-step manual manufaction of paper sheets

  1. Take several sheets of colored paper and cut them with strips with a width of 1.0-1.5 cm (if the ball is small, like a christmas toy) along the length of the sheet.
  2. You can use the paper of the same color, and you can take different colors - then the ball will be bright, cheerful and elegant.
  3. Take one strip and connect its ends so that it turns out the ring. At the place of the joint of the ends, it is necessary to make a battery and bore them with a stapler or glue with adhesive pencil (it is possible a piece of bilateral tape). It is easier to work with bilateral scotch, but the adhesive pencil is cheaper. It is even easier to use a stapler, but in a small craft paper clips will be very noticeable, and the ball will look inactively.
  4. Take the second strip of paper, turn it into the ring as well as in the previous paragraph, and at the right angle to skip it into the first ring. Both rings are made with glue, scotch tape or stapler.
  5. By adding the ring behind the ring in the same way, form a ball.
  6. On paper stripes to glue sequins to pour the ball swinging on the ribbon. As an option - you can save the ball with applications, for example, if it is a children's holiday, and the ball of large sizes, figures of the characters of cartoons.
  7. Through one of the bands to turn the ribbon so that the ball can be suspended.

Oshiving on small paper balls, these two uncomplicated manufacturing techniques can be moved to real creative work - large sizes, try more complex techniques and decorate the interior of the house.

In addition to making paper balls, it is aesthetic pleasure, it also has practical benefits. Taking advancing to make the balls of your child, you can leave it one after this occupation of an hour for two and do business around the house. In addition, the lesson develops a small motorcy of hands and children's fantasy. And if you have balls with children, preparing for the festive day, they will feel more and their significance - after all, along with adults, they took part in the preparation of the total fun.

From the most ordinary strong paper, you can make it easier for very beautiful balls for the decor. Let's learn how to do it.

Master class "Volumetric balls from paper"

First, as always, prepare all the necessary materials so that they are at hand. For the manufacture you will need: a pack of colored corrugated or any other thin paper, two tight white cardboard sheets, two colored marker, adhesive pencil, large scissors and a needle with thread. So, take care!

  1. With a circulation, draw a circle on a sheet of cardboard. Its diameter should be equal to the desired diameter of the future ball. Cut the resulting circle into two parts. Corrugated paper stacks, cut on rectangles. For a ball of average, 40-50 pieces will be made enough.
  2. On the second sheet of cardboard, there are one of the color leaf of corrugated. Flomasters draw the vertical stripes on the sheet, located at equal intervals. The number of cells on the finished ball depends on the number of these bands and their density. There are no special requirements here - try multiple different options to understand which one you like more.
  3. Moving from one mark to the other, swipe vertical lines marked in the figure in blue. This should be done with a pencil glue, holding it a little at an angle.
  4. Then take the next leaf of corrugated and repeat the procedure, this time connecting the strips marked with pink. Thus, you need to process all the available rectangles. Fold the crossed leaves with a neat stack.
  5. At the top, attach one of the cardboard semiwesters, press it in order for the top layer of the corrugation to stick to the cardboard, and the outline of it.
  6. On this line you should cut the future ball folded in half. Use large and sharp scissors, because there are many layers.
  7. Cardboard is needed for ball gluing. And so that it was not visible on the finished handicraft, it needs to be slightly disguised. To do this, on the other hand, glue the second semicircle is not completely, but pre-cut it in the form of the letter "C".
  8. In the corner of the crafts, make a hole (gypsy needle or seer), and then skip the thread through it. Do not tighten it too hard, otherwise your ball will not open.
  9. Purchase and second angle. You can leave one of the threads - you can hang a crawler for it if this simple paper ball will be used to decorate the room. In this case, the thread should be, firstly, rather long, secondly, durable and, thirdly, correspond to the ball in color.
  10. Now the most responsible moment occurs in the work - you need to reveal the ball. Take the cradle for both cardboard sides and carefully dug them on the sides. Act very carefully not to break a thin corrugation. If you correctly executed items 3 and 4, you will not have special problems with the disclosure of the ball (which is why it is so important to use fresh adhesive pencils). If individual parts did not glue, you can put them down in the course of work.
  11. That's how your ball looks like this. The cells from which it consists is non-flimsy places on your rectangles from paragraph 4.
  12. Cardboard joints need to be glued together to make the sphere solid and completely color. As you can see, make a ball from corrugated paper turned out to be quite simple.
  13. Such two- and even three-color balls can be made for the decor of your living room or children. Such crafts of different sizes and colors will also be very appropriate to look as new year decorations.
