These ornaments are made very simply. Even a child can cope with such work, and the results of one's own labor will bring joy to the child. In this article, we will learn how to make a bead out of strings at home and use an artwork in the interior.

Required materials and tools

• Balloons (if the ball needs a small form, then for this, the fitters purchased at the pharmacy are fine).
• Threads (any that you like - for knitting, sewing, embroidering, etc.).
• Scissors.
• Needle.
• Glue PVA or clerical.
• Vaseline (if not, then any fat cream and even vegetable oil will do).

We make balls of threads with our own hands: instruction

The very first step will be inflating the ball to the required size. Tie the tip with a thread, be sure to leave the tail more authentic. This is necessary in order that was for what to hang the foundation of our future crafts from balls of thread to dry. Then lubricate the ball on the entire surface with cream or petroleum jelly. If this is not done, then it will be very difficult to detach the thread afterwards. We impregnate the selected threads with glue. By the way, when using multicolored tangles weave will be very beautiful. With the help of adhesive tapes or scotch tape, the tip of the glue impregnated with glue is attached to the balloon and begins to wind the entire surface of the ball with arbitrary movements. We do this as if we are wrapping a ball. The speed of rotation depends on the thickness of the thread: if it is thin, the density of the winding is greater, if thicker (for knitting), less.

During operation, care must be taken to ensure that the thread is well impregnated with glue. Keep it during the winding of the balloon should not be much pulling.

When the thread winding process is complete, leave one more long tip and tie it to the tail of the ball. Now comes the turn of drying the future crafts of balls of thread. It usually occurs within 24-48 hours. It is necessary that the cocoon become very hard. Do not hang the blanks over the heating devices to speed up the drying process. Rubber, from which the balls are made, can burst with hot air, and then all your efforts will be in vain. We recommend to hang them on the dryer for clothes, fixing clothespins. After the glue becomes solid, the balls are removed. And how to do it correctly, so that the balls of thread, created by oneself, do not lose shape and what methods of applying glue exist, you will find out after reading the article further.

Options for impregnating threads with glue

• If you have to work with PVA glue, then it must be diluted with water in a proportion of 1: 1. Glue the pour into a suitable container and soak the threads in it for about 10 minutes. Avoid entanglement.
• With a dry thread, wrap the ball and then carefully using a brush or sponge, soak the workpiece with glue.
• Using a hot needle, pierce the tube with glue so that the holes are opposite each other. Thread the thread in the needle and stretch it through the resulting holes. This way it will be impregnated with glue. If you have glue in a large container, you can pour it into a disposable plastic cup.

How to properly remove the ball from the workpiece?

• We untie the bundle of the ball and let it go down gradually, then carefully extract it.
• The second way: using a simple pencil, at the end of which there is an eraser, unfasten the ball from the thread-frame and pierce the sharp object in several places. We take out.

Small tweaks

I wanted to make crafts from balls of thread, but there was no glue in the house? Do not despair and do not postpone your desire for another day! It can be replaced with a paste or sugar syrup. The paste is made as follows: starch (4 tsp) is stirred in a glass of cold water and brought to a boil.

Need a ball red, and the thread only white? Also not scary: we take paint and repaint, only we need to do this before the balloon is swept and removed from the base.

To give the texture to your creation, we spread the ball with glue and crumble, for example, in wheat or grain coffee.
