A great fresh idea is to make balls of flowers. With your own hands, of course, but with the involvement of all or almost all households. To both the joy of creativity, and the anticipation of a surprise to experience together: and the sensations are brighter, and crafts will be ready faster. And the rooms, decorated in this way, will change dramatically, become more elegant, cozy, joyful. So, let's start with the balls of flowers. With your hands, you can make them both from living plants, and from paper. For example, from soft corrugated or more dense colored paper. As accessories, silk or satin ribbons, multicolored braid, beads and rhinestones, other ornaments will be good. As improvised items you will need a ball-base, paper-corrugated paper, PVA-glue, scissors, stern threads or tapes for hanging. So:

1. First you need to make the balls for flowers. Take the usual children's rubber ball, but not very small. It needs to be pasted with paper (old newspapers) in 8-9 layers. Then, gently with a sharp knife, divide the newspaper "doll" into 2 hemispheres, in the center of one of them drill a small hole and draw a string or tape. Now halve the halves again. In a similar way, do more, as many as you need, the bases for the balls of flowers. With your hands, but with the help of relatives, you will make them quickly and much.
2. From the corrugation make roses, daisies and other flowers that you know how. From time to time, try on the basis to get the right amount. You can combine and different types of paper: velvet, ordinary color. On the petals it is recommended to paste beads, strasses, mugs of brilliant confetti. Thanks to such combinations, your balls of flowers will be more effective. With their own hands made, let them not meet factory standards, but they will retain in themselves your warmth and live positive energy.
3. Paste your flower blanks on the ball itself, tightly, so that the base shines through as little as possible. Ready hang hanging in the intended place and take the next.
4. What else can you offer, so these flowers from balloons. For each you need 6 pieces of balls. It is desirable to place contrasts on the middle: red, yellow, blue, pink, etc. The shape is round or oval (not long). First you need to inflate 5, trying to keep the same size. Tie them to each other by applying tails. Then tie the contrast center. And hang it to the ceiling in different places in the room.

It remains to add that you can make balls of fresh flowers and plastic, not just paper, and flowers - from flexible balloons.
