Balls of thread look very gently and effectively, bringing a festive and romantic mood.
Make a Christmas mood with your own hands
For work you will need:
- round balloon;
- PVA glue;
- thick threads (light shades);
- needle;
- scissors.
Prepare everything to start the robot.
Operating procedure
Inflate the size to match the desired size of the future toys. We firmly fasten him so that he may not descend ahead of time. Massage with your hands, giving it a regular round shape.
Inflate the right size
In the eye of the needle we pass the edge of the thread, from which we will make the decoration. We pierce the needle through the plastic vial with glue and thread the thread. The thread passing through the bubble will be uniformly covered with PVA, which eliminates the need to additionally open all threads with glue.
Cooking thread
It is better to use PVA glue in a non-diluted form, otherwise the ball will not hold the desired shape.Now we stretch the thread through the glue and at the same time wind it in different directions, as if we wind the threads into a ball. The ball is intensively turned in the hands, trying to tightly wind the thread. In the place where the air is tied, the tension is slightly reduced.
We wind the thread to the desired density. Cut the thread, and form a loop on the tip. The billet is left in a dry, warm place until the glue is completely dry. You can speed up the drying process using a hair dryer.
Tightly wind the thread
When it becomes completely dry, we pierce it and gently pull it out.
We take out after drying
We tie a thread or decorative ribbon to the eyelet and decorate the Christmas tree.

For work you will need:

Prepare the necessary materials
Operating procedure
First you need to draw and cut out of cardboard two identical patterns of simple flowers with five petals. Only one template should be a bit smaller.
Making paper blanks
Putting the pattern on the felt, draw a pencil around the contour. We make big blanks from one color, and smaller ones from another. Depending on the diameter, we need from 20 pieces of blanks of each color.
Cut the petals of felt
Now fold the patterns in pairs, placing the petals in a checkerboard pattern.We cut off about 10 centimeters of thin decorative tape, glue its edges to the foam blank, forming a loopNow tightly to each other, bending the top of the petals, fasten each flower to the center of the foam in the center with carnations.
We fasten all the petals with carnations.

Truly festive sparkling balls can be made from sequins. This decorative material has a wide range. Sequins come in different sizes, shapes and colors.
Handmade sequin ball
Large sequins can be glued to any, without convex patterns with the help of a glue gun. Apply the glue on the ball itself, successively gluing the sequins in a circle in a checkerboard pattern.
Sticking large sequins with hot glue
Try to block the mounting holes 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 plastic blank of the desired diameter. In the center of each sequin there are holes through which we will fasten sequins to the workpiece with special studs.
Fastening of sequins with studs to the workpiece
Combining various shapes and colors of sequins, you can create the most bizarre patterns. Design options will tell you a fantasy or little helpers.
The main thing is to fasten the sequins close to each other so that the white base does not shine through (it is necessary to foresee and fasten the loop fastening).
Paillette Snowflakes
Another option to decorate the balls - sequin ribbons. We also glue them with hot glue, carefully positioning the turns a little overlap so that there are no gaps. You can make monophonic or alternate turns of several colors.

In a small container pour a little PVA, diluted with water in a ratio of 1: 1. 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 are trying to smooth all the folds to get a flat surface.
