Factory Christmas tree decorations are in almost every house. They are certainly very beautiful and with a good combination with other decorations in the house can cause a decent aesthetic effect. But just buying Christmas balls is boring. Uniqueness can only be achieved by making the decoration of Christmas balls with their own hands.

For manufacturing, you will need: yarns (with a large percentage of natural fibers in the composition for good impregnation with glue), PVA glue, disposable glass, round balloons. Stages of manufacture:

• Prepare glue for work. Strongly thicken to the state of sour cream.
• Inflate the ball to the extent that the size of the toy is planned.
• Soak 1 m thread in the adhesive.
• Wrap the "spider" way so that the free holes do not exceed a diameter of 1 cm.
• Allow to dry with glue (12 to 24 hours).
• Get the ball out of the product, gently bursting it and taking it out through the hole of the ball.
• To decorate the product. For this use: shines, paper felling of different shapes, sequins, beads, semi beads, etc. Products made of yarn can also be painted with paint from a balloon or acrylic. Watercolor and gouache will not work, because they are able to soak the product and lead to its spoiled appearance.

Making Christmas balls of different diameters, they can decorate any corner of the house: a Christmas tree, candlesticks, compositions in a vase, on a window sill, etc. Decor of the balls can be done this way: put the light garland on the tray, put on top of the products of different sizes, but the same color. When the garland is on, they will be highlighted and create an interesting effect.

       

Of beads

Very beautifully and effectively on the tree will look balls of beads. In this case, the decoration of the foam spheres of the blanks will occur. In addition to polystyrene billet need beads, pins (sewing needles with hats, as in carnations), tape.

The manufacturing method is very simple:

• String one bead on one pin.
• Attach the safety pin to the foam base.
• Repeat actions until there is no free space left on the basis.
• At the end, attach a loop tape for hanging the decoration.

Beads are desirable to take one size to avoid empty seats based on. The color scale is chosen in one tone and in different. Everything depends on individual preferences and the overall style of decorating the room. Instead of a foam base, you can use plastic factory balls. Only here to fasten beads in this case will not be on pins, but on hot melt.
