Vintage ball "Lace"

We have already talked about the decoupage technique in, but it is better to take out the manufacture of this ball in a separate chapter. The ball is not just beautiful, it is exclusive. Everyone can add personal touches to its performance, and the uniqueness of the vintage Christmas ball will amaze any guest. And to the question: “How much does such a beauty cost,” you will smile pretty. To make it you will need:

  • foam ball;
  • lace, preferably made of cotton and with a large pattern;
  • glue;
  • acrylic paints of your choice;
  • brushes for glue and paint;
  • sponge.

As you can see, nothing supernatural is required. The course of work is also not intricate.

  • First, coat the ball with PVA glue.
  • We glue the cut out fragments of lace on it. Of course, the design must be thought out in advance.

  • The next step is to prime our pattern with white acrylic. Layers are superimposed evenly. Try to paint through the lace. Despite the sufficient thickness and heterogeneity of the surface, try to avoid streaks.

  • Now it's time to tint our ball. After the primer is completely dry, start painting the ball with a darker paint. Bronze, silver or old gold will look especially good.

  • Take a piece of soft cloth, or rather a sponge, and quickly blot the entire ball. Now we need coverage inhomogeneity.
  • We overwrite until traces of a dark tone remain only in the recesses of the lace.
  • We attach a thread and a bow.

We admire the delicate pattern of old lace on the surface of the ball, as if bought several centuries ago. In this technique, you can tint the balls as you like. For example, take bronze as the main tone, and use dark brown as the second

Want to break the rules? You are welcome! Cover the lace with gold paint before gluing, and paint the ball with oxidized copper. Then randomly apply gold in a highly diluted concentration. Walk with a sponge and stick lace. An extraordinary combination!

And you can leave the balls white. Then their snow-whiteness will resemble pure snow.

Graceful gossamer balls

Openwork-ephemeral balls-cobwebs of threads look very attractive not only in the New Year's decor. When you see such beauty, you don’t even think that you can create something similar with your own hands, without serious financial costs and special skills in handmade. And they will bring much more joy and moral satisfaction than those purchased for money in a gift shop. They can be used simply as a stylish element of decor, and as an original lampshade that casts fancy shadows, and as unusual New Year's toys, as opposed to traditional glass balls. From several balls-cobwebs of different diameters, you can make all kinds of toys: snowmen, fish, birds. In general, everything is limited only by your imagination.

To make Christmas balls from threads, we need:

  • any yarn
  • air balloons
  • vaseline or any greasy cream
  • PVA glue
  • scissors
  • a bowl
  • ribbons, ribbons, beads, beads, rhinestones for decorating balls

How to make Christmas balls-spider webs from yarn

  1. We dilute PVA glue with water in a ratio of approximately 3 to 1.
  2. We inflate balloons to the size of the future product. Each ball needs to be given a round shape and tied with a thread. Be sure to leave a loop so that it is convenient to hang the balls for drying.
  3. We unwind the required amount of yarn, put it in a bowl with an adhesive solution and leave it for five minutes.
  4. To make the balls easier to separate from the frozen thread, lubricate them with any fat cream, petroleum jelly or sunflower oil.
  5. We wrap the balls with yarn soaked in glue, leaving at first a large distance between the threads, and then gradually reducing it until the entire ball is wrapped in yarn and looks like a cocoon. You can try to create a simple ornament, or you can wrap the ball completely randomly. In any case, the result will be excellent!
  6. Cut the thread and glue it to the ball. The next step is drying. We hang the balls in a secluded warm place and leave for at least a day.
  7. Now we need to separate the balloons from the thread. To unstick the thread frame from the ball, carefully press each rubber ball with your fingers. Then we pierce the balloons and lower them. Now the balloon can be easily reached through any suitable size hole in the thread cocoon. We carefully take out the balls so as not to damage our marvelous creations. From above we tie an elegant rope for fastening to the ball. wow! The ball is ready!

You can use yarn of any color to make gossamer balls. Alternatively, you can paint the finished product with any spray paint or glitter spray. Christmas balls of thread will look great with decorative bows, tinsel, rain, stars, beads, sparkles, rhinestones. We hang small balls on the Christmas tree, and decorate the room with large ones. Let your imagination run wild!

If you can’t wrap a thread soaked with glue on a ball, wind a dry thread, and then carefully soak it with glue with a sponge or brush.

Clue: glue can be replaced with starch paste or sugar syrup. To prepare a paste, you need to take three teaspoons of starch into a glass of cold water, mix thoroughly and bring to a boil. If instead of yarn we wind copper wire around the balls, the result will also be very interesting and extraordinary.

If you want to make a very large snowman, then get large round balloons and a lot of thread.

Spirals, twisted will be an excellent filling for a romantic transparent toy in the shape of a heart. from multi-colored paper for quilling. Instead of paper for quilling, you can use old postcards (if you don’t mind) or glossy magazines that have accumulated over the year: we cut the paper into thin strips, twist it into spirals and fill the toy with them.

To make beautiful tight spirals, you can use a toothpick. To do this, carefully cut off the sharp tips of the toothpick with scissors. Then, with a paper cutter on one side of the toothpick, we make a shallow incision in the middle, about 1 cm. Insert the edge of the prepared strip of paper into the forked tip of the toothpick and twist it into a tight spiral. You need to twist not paper, but only a toothpick! Having removed the finished spiral from the toothpick, put it on a flat surface and let it unwind a little. Then, on the tip of the strip twisted into a spiral, we drip a little glue and press the edge to the spiral. Now our cute baby will not lose its shape.

To make our romantic toy with fancy multi-colored curls inside look even more beautiful and elegant, we tie a satin or silk ribbon bow on top. Such a toy can also be used in a festive decor for Valentine's Day.

Christmas ball "first baby steps"

You will need:

  • glass ball (preferably frosted)
  • sequins
  • marker
  • PVA glue and a thin brush.

White sock snowman

You will need:

  • White socks
  • fibrous filler (can be replaced with cotton wool)
  • dry beans
  • strong thread
  • various decorations (buttons, pompoms)
  • ribbon
  • black marker or black rhinestones (to make eyes)
  • glue gun with hot glue or superglue.

1. Pour beans into the bottom of the sock by about 3 cm.

2. Now fill the sock with fibrous filler to the end (over the legumes).

3. With a strong thread, tie off the end of the sock, leaving a few centimeters to make a hat.

4. Bend the top of the sock so that it looks like a hat. You can use hot glue to secure the hat and the sock won't curl up anymore. You can glue the pom-pom onto the hat with hot glue.

5. Cut a piece of brightly colored ribbon or string and tie it below the hat to form a head and a scarf around the snowman's neck.

6. Using hot glue, attach buttons, a pom-pom nose, rhinestone eyes (you can also draw them with a marker) and other decorations to the snowman as desired.
