The festive mood largely depends on how beautifully the house will be decorated. DIY Christmas balls will create a special atmosphere of magic. We have collected unusual ideas for creating beautiful elements of a festive decor.
Soft fabric balls
If you have brightly colored pieces of fabric, then it's time to put them into action. First you need to make the foundation. In extreme cases, it can be a sock cut off and filled with rags, the main thing is that you get a tightly packed bun in shape. Or, you can use commercially available foam balls. Further decoration is a matter of fantasy. You can make ruffles from the patches or, by folding small rectangles of fabric, sew them tightly to each other, then you will get shaggy products.
Try embellishing fabric embellishments by sewing on brightly colored buttons.
Fishnet toys
In the next master class, the main idea is to use a balloon as a base.
To create a toy you will need:
- glue;
- thick white threads, such as iris;
- sequins;
- balloon.
Inflate the balloon according to the desired size of the toy. Tie the end of the thread to it. Tangle with threads, as in the photo. Dip in glue (or treat the thread with glue with a brush), sprinkle with sparkles on top. Wait until the frame is completely dry and pierce the ball inside. Pull it out carefully through the hole. You will have a light and beautiful Christmas ball in your hands.
In a similar way, you can make a New Year's ball out of lace. The manufacturing method is the same, only you do not need to glue the thread, but pieces of lace.
Styrofoam decoration
Styrofoam spheres can be used as a base when creating New Year's crafts. They can be decorated with two-tone flowers made of fine felt, bright sequins and paper flowers, beads and threads.
Creative ideas
If you have a large tree, try making balls out of a floral sponge, also called an oasis. You need to cut out a sphere from it and attach decor in the form of small bright toys and spruce branches with wire pins.
Vintage lovers will love the following idea. Lace is glued to the base sphere, then tinted for an antique look. (See also the lace crown master class).
Have old CDs? Feel free to use for decoration!
A Christmas decoration in the form of a cake looks very appetizing, to make it roll a foam plastic sphere coated with glue, in sparkles, glue a loop and a fake cherry on top, and a "skirt" below.
Glamorous jewelry
The New Year assumes an abundance of shiny elements in the decor, it is almost impossible to overdo it with them. It is possible that you have unnecessary beads, jewelry that you no longer plan to wear, and a blouse in rhinestones that is out of fashion. Cut them neatly and boldly decorate the balls with this radiant beauty.
Natural materials
Small cones and twigs can also be used as decorations.
Inexpensive and stylish options can be created using paper.
Magic brushes
Glass paints will be a good purchase. With their help, even in the absence of outstanding drawing abilities, you can create beautiful crafts. Little artists will especially like this process.
Knitted toys
Do you know how to crochet or knit? Then it will not be difficult for you to knit colorful colorful "caftans" for toys that will become a decoration of your home. Follow the link - diagrams and master classes.
Sweet decorations
Sweets will love candy balls. This decoration can be eaten during the holiday.You can complement the edible decor with a sweet Christmas tree made of cookies. Good luck with your experiments and a Happy New Year!
