Balls of thread look very gently and effectively, bringing a festive and romantic mood.
For work you will need:
- round balloon;
- PVA glue;
- thick threads (light shades);
- needle;
- scissors.
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.
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.
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. The thread is cut, and at the tip we form a loop. The billet is left in a dry warm place until the glue is completely dry. You can speed up the drying process using a hairdryer.
When it becomes completely dry, we pierce it and gently pull it out.
We tie a thread or decorative ribbon to the eyelet and decorate the Christmas tree.
Optionally, you can add a toy of threads with sequins, beads, sequins or other decor. Particularly beautiful is the composition of several different diameters.

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.

Every holiday is accompanied by a scent. New Year is the smell of citrus, pine needles and mulled wine with cloves and cinnamon. To maintain the atmosphere, on the Christmas tree it is necessary to hang fragrant balls of dried oranges or lemons.

For work you will need:
- orange (lemon);
- toothpick;
- clove buds and cinnamon sticks;
- tape;
- wide gum.

We put on the citrus gum, so that it tightly wraps the fruit. Now we make a hole with a toothpick, where we will fix the buds of the carnation. Now loosely insert a bud of carnation into each hole made.
In this state, leave the decoration for 2 weeks in a well-ventilated area. To speed up the drying process, you can put an orange in the oven and dry it for an hour.
At the end we decorate with a ribbon for which it will be hung.
To make cinnamon sticks, you need to take a foam piece. Cinnamon sticks break into two halves and just often insert cinnamon into a soft base. We fix the ribbon and can be hung on the Christmas tree.
