Christmas tree made of thread balls. New Year's crafts from threads: simple and beautiful

It's on the threshold New Year. A wonderful holiday for the whole family. Soon the main fragrant beauty will come to the house, the main attribute of the New Year - the Christmas tree. Fluffy needles can be decorated with various toys and garlands. But how nice it will be to make a decoration. And if you also involve a child in this activity, the result will exceed all expectations. Try making original balls from threads. This craft is very easy to make and does not require long preparations or expensive materials. There is also a huge scope for creativity here. Let `s start?

  • Regular balloons, the simpler the better.
  • Threads. You can use absolutely any thread available on the farm. Only for a miniature product would it be preferable to use thinner threads. And don’t take threads whose material cannot be saturated with glue.
  • PVA glue. Please note that only this glue should be used. Because silicate will eventually turn into sand and crumble.

  • We inflate the balloons. It is important that the balls you choose are round in shape. Pear-shaped or any other shape will not work. We inflate the ball exactly to the size of the New Year's toy you plan.

  • We dilute PVA glue with water approximately 1:1. If you doubt the quality of the glue you have chosen, stick to a consistency of one part water to 2 parts glue.

  • Soak the threads. They can be left in the glue solution for a couple of minutes.
  • Wrap the threads around the ball crosswise.
  • We wait until the threads dry completely and become “woody”. This process may take 12 to 24 hours. Depending on how many layers of thread you put on the ball.
  • We remove the ball. We just pierce it with a needle and carefully remove it from the craft.

That's it. Everything is ready. You just need to attach an additional loop for fastening or add a decor of your choice. Or maybe you actually decided to fill it with fragrant tangerines and serve it with New Year's table? Everything is in your hands, the flight of your imagination is unlimited. Happy New Year!

You can easily make original stylish New Year's balls with your own hands. A New Year's ball made of threads looks very attractive, it does not require special skills or money, the use of these web balls is limitless, wherever your imagination allows.
You can decorate a Christmas tree with balls of thread and create festive interior decor. And they can also become an original gift for the holiday.

You will need:

  • Inflatable ball
  • Petrolatum
  • Colored threads, the thicker the better
  • PVA glue
  • Scissors

Inflating the balloon the right size. Lubricate the ball with Vaseline to make it easier to detach it from the glued threads.

Mix PVA glue with water. Dip the threads into this mixture.
Wrap the ball with thread. Or we pierce the jar of glue with a thick needle on both sides. We thread the thread straight from the skein into the holes without cutting. Slowly pulling the thread through the jar, wrap it around the ball. She herself is wetted in glue.

The more layers of thread, the stronger the ball will be, but if you wind too much, it loses its airiness and transparency.

Leave to dry for 1 day.

When the balloons are dry, carefully deflate the balloons. If done carefully, they can be used several times.

You can decorate the resulting web balls using beads, beads, feathers, and ribbons. You can create a snow effect: moisten the ball with glue and dip it in semolina or powdered sugar. You can use threads of different colors, then you get a very beautiful weave.
If you are unable to wind glue-soaked thread onto a ball, you can wind dry thread and then thoroughly soak it in glue using a brush or sponge.

Multi-colored balls made of threads - simple and original idea for home decoration. They are very easy to make; even preschoolers can easily cope with this task.

DIY thread balls: master class

To make balls of thread you will need:

  • threads (preferably cotton);
  • PVA glue in a small plastic bottle;
  • needle according to thread size;
  • air balloons;
  • rope for drying;
  • narrow colored ribbons;
  • rubber gloves (preferably, but not required).

1. Blow up several small balloons.

2. Thread the needle without cutting it from the spool, and put on gloves.

3. Now pierce the bottle of PVA glue with a needle. The needle can be removed and you will no longer need it.


4. Pull the thread through the glue bottle and wrap the thread around the ball (if you have a large bottle and don’t want to spoil it, you can pour a little glue into a plastic cup and pull the thread through it). You need to wrap it in such a way as to evenly fill the entire surface of the ball with threads. To speed up the work and make colorful balls, you can pierce the bottle of glue several times and at the same time pull not one, but two or three threads.


5. Continue wrapping the ball with threads until relatively small windows remain between the intersecting threads.

6. Hang the resulting ball of thread on a rope to dry.

7. Wrap the rest of the balls in the same way and hang them up to dry. It is better if the balls hang closer to the battery - this way they will dry out faster.

8. Now you need to be patient and wait until the glue completely hardens. This will take at least a day.

9. Now deflate the ball and carefully remove it from the thread cocoon.


10. Attach a short narrow ribbon of a contrasting color to the finished balls of thread: any bright ribbon will suit white balls, dark green, cornflower blue, etc. will suit red balls.


Now your DIY thread balls are ready. They are light enough, so you can hang them from the ceiling, make garlands from them for windows, assemble a New Year’s “tree of happiness” or a composition to decorate the center of a holiday table.


Decorate New Year's balls from threads with sparkles, sequins, bows, snowflakes, glue beads to them, place shiny tinsel inside, glue funny figures of snowmen or bunnies from them - in a word, do not limit your imagination in any way!


If you have a garland that you are confident in the quality of, you can use balls of thread as mini lampshades for each bulb of the garland - you will get original New Year's lighting.


Another simple craft that you can make with your children is Finnish. Straw is an inexpensive material that does not require special skills to work with, so you can work with it even if your child is not yet very good at handling a needle and thread.

It's just around the corner new year holidays. It's time to think about decorating your home or classroom, and prepare gifts for loved ones. A Christmas tree and balls are irreplaceable attributes of the New Year. Master class on implementation New Year's crafts made from threads is quite simple, so both adults and children can handle it.

Balls of thread - master class

1:1118 1:1124 1:1134

Let's start with the most simple crafts- balls of thread. They are airy, light, do not break, and their size depends only on your desire!

1:1367

To make these balls you will need:

1:1447
  • “office” silicate glue or PVA glue
  • long needle,
  • threads of different colors
  • and various little things for decoration (beads, rhinestones, foil, rain, bells, etc.)

Let's inflate balloon the right size. We thread the thread into the needle and pierce the bottle of glue with it, now the thread will pass through it and immediately become saturated with glue. We begin to wrap the ball with adhesive thread. Then you will have to wash your hands, because all your fingers will be covered in this “liquid glass”.

1:2293

You can do it differently. Wind the threads around the ball, turn by turn, and then, on top, coat the threads with glue.

1:227 1:237 1:241 1:251

When the glue dries, pierce or gently deflate the ball and take it out. Then we decorate according to our own wishes. We filled this ball with shiny “rain” (it will be better visible if we make the ball more transparent), glued stars and foil flowers on top, and tied a mini bell at the bottom.

Christmas tree made of threads - master class

1:947 1:953 1:963

For work you will need the following materials:

1:1050
  • floss or knitting threads (thick ones are easier and faster to work with),
  • cling film,
  • whatman paper A1,
  • glue,
  • brush,
  • scissors,
  • ruler,
  • compass,
  • pencil.
  • Ribbons, tinsel, toys, sparkles, etc. are suitable for decoration.
1:1464 1:1474

Take whatman paper, measure a distance of 48 cm, divide it in half. Place a compass in the resulting center and draw a circle. Cut it out by first marking four equal parts on it using a ruler.

1:1865

1:9 1:13 1:23

Cut one piece out of the mold. If you want the future tree to be narrower, then cut off two parts, leaving half a circle.

1:244 1:254 1:258 1:268

Make a cone by rolling the resulting craft blank. Apply glue to the joint to keep the shape in place.

1:454 1:464 1:468 1:478

Take cling film and wrap the cone.

1:560 1:570 1:574 1:584

Dilute the glue with water. Dip the threads into the resulting solution, wet them and randomly wrap them around the cone. You can wear disposable gloves to protect your hands from the glue. The Christmas tree does not have to be green, so the threads are suitable for absolutely any color and any thickness.

1:1096 1:1106 1:1110 1:1120

Wind threads moistened with glue until the tree becomes dense enough. If there are few threads, then the craft will not be able to take a stable shape.

1:1409 1:1419 1:1423 1:1433

Leave the Christmas tree for a while to dry and become stable. After a few hours, carefully pull out the cone and peel the film off the threads. Christmas tree ready!

1:1753

You can place an LED candle inside the finished Christmas tree or New Year's garland, and your home will be decorated with fancy openwork shadows.

1:235 1:245 1:249 1:259 1:263 1:273

If desired, the craft can be decorated. Glue tinsel or toys on top, sprinkle with sparkles. It's easy to make bows from ribbons.

1:503 1:513 1:517 1:527 1:531 1:541 1:545 1:555

In addition, in addition to balls and Christmas trees, using the same principle you can make, for example, an angel from threads and glue.

1:744

For the head, a very small ball is inflated (these are made from scraps of burst balloons, for example:)), which is pulled out after the threads dry.

1:1024

But for the body, we took a transparent plastic plate (we peeled it off from the box with the toy), rolled it into a cone, and stapled it in two places. Having started to wrap threads around the body, we realized that they would only hold on if we wrapped them on all sides (and not just on top, as we planned), meaning that it would be impossible to pull out the cone later. But in principle, this is not necessary, because it is transparent. The angel's wings were cut out of foil.

1:1805 1:9 1:13 1:23

But we made such a snowman out of threads for a competition in kindergarten.

1:152

For the hat, they wrapped a measuring cup of medicine, and after the threads had dried, they pulled it out, cutting off the bottom of the threads from the bottom. For the “carrot” we also wrapped a small cone of film. Stand - cover from coffee can. This is how the translucent snowman turned out:

1:669 1:679 1:689 1:699

Go ahead and create from threads whatever your imagination inspires!
