Step by step instructions on how to make a ball of thread:
1. Inflate the balloon to right size. Wind a thread on the tail of the ball in reserve ~ 10 cm - for the future loop, on which the ball will subsequently be hung to dry.
2. Lubricate the surface of the ball with petroleum jelly, so that later it is easier to detach from the glued threads.
3. Soak the threads with glue. When using threads of different colors, very beautiful weaves are obtained.

There are several ways:
Pour the glue into some container with which it is convenient for you to work, and soak the threads in it for 5-10 minutes. Dilute PVA glue with water (1: 1) before soaking, as it is too thick. Make sure that the threads do not tangle when soaking.
Take a tube of glue and with a hot needle, make two holes in it opposite each other. Thread the thread through the holes with a needle (when pulled through the tube, the thread will be smeared with glue). Instead of a bottle of glue, you can take a Kinder Surprise egg, or another small plastic bottle, for example, from a medicine or from the same silicate glue, and pour glue into it.
Wind the dry thread around the ball (skip step 4 and go directly to step 5), and then carefully saturate it with glue using a brush or sponge.

4. Fasten the end of the thread impregnated with glue to the ball (you can use adhesive tape, adhesive tape, protective tape to fix the thread on the inflatable ball). Then randomly wrap the entire surface of the ball with a thread, as if on a ball - each turn in the opposite direction. If the threads are thick - make fewer turns, if the threads are thin - wind them more tightly. Hold the threads in your hands with a slight tightness, and also make sure that the thread is well wetted with glue. If the bottle runs out of glue, refill.

5. After winding, leave again a long tail for the loop, winding it again on the tail of the ball, cut the thread and hang the ball wrapped with threads to dry. Dry the ball thoroughly for 1-2 days - the finished cocoon should be hard. Don't try to speed up the process by hanging the balloon next to a heater - the rubber that balloons are made of doesn't like that, and hot air can cause the balloon to burst. An indispensable thing when drying is a dryer for small clothes with clothespins. On the dryer, you can dry several balls at once, and they will not stick together.

6. When the glue is completely dry and hardened, the balloon must be removed from the cobweb craft.

There are two ways:

1. Peel off the ball from the cobweb using a pencil with an eraser on the end. Gently pierce the ball with a needle in several places and remove it or what is left of it.

2. Untie the balloon knot with which it was tied and it will gradually deflate. This method is practiced mainly when, instead of hot air balloon you used an inflatable ball as a basis for winding.

7. Glue the finished gossamer balls together with a hot gun, pushing the gluing place slightly inward. Also, the balls can be sewn together, but this is not easy, because the balls become very strong and hard when dried.

8. Decorate the resulting design with beads, beads, feathers, braid, ribbons, artificial flowers, or any other materials at hand. Cover with paint. To do this, take a can of paint, go out onto the balcony or into the yard. With a slight movement of your hand, direct the colorful jets at the balls waiting for a miraculous transformation. Make the effect of snow: moisten the balls with glue and dip them in semolina or powdered sugar. Spray the balloon with glitter hairspray. Don't expect a special radiance, but light sparks are guaranteed.

Fantasize…

little BIG tricks:

In order for the table not to get dirty during the winding process, it is better to lay something plastic on it, not paper - everything will stick to the paper. Suitable plastic coasters for hot. If not, you can use a corner for documents made of thick plastic. The bottom seam is cut off, the folder is unfolded and straightened, and from it a universal tool is obtained to save the table from glue, paint and other creative layers. In extreme cases, polyethylene is suitable for protecting the workplace.

Instead of glue for work, you can use sugar syrup or paste. Paste recipe: 4 teaspoons of starch in a glass of cold water, mix thoroughly and bring to a boil.

Instead of a thread, you can take a thin copper wire and wind it around the ball in the same way.

To prevent glue from leaking through the hole in the filament tube, put a thin needle on the end of the filament and pierce a piece of electrical tape with it. Tighten the thread in the opposite direction and firmly glue this electrical tape to the jar. Thus, through a small hole in the electrical tape, the glue will wet the thread not so abundantly and will stop randomly dripping from the thread onto the table and clothes.

Approach responsibly when winding the kokan. A poorly tied cocoon crackles and loses its shape during drying, as the ball descends.

Gossamer balls can be not only spherical in shape. As a basis for winding, you can take a cone-shaped object (roll thick paper or cardboard into a cone), a heart, etc.

If you decide to change the color of the ball of threads, then it is best to paint the ball before blowing it off and removing its base - so that the cobweb does not wrinkle during painting. In addition to aerosols, it is convenient to apply paint with a small sponge, inconvenient - with a brush and much longer.

To make the surface of the ball textured, you can coat the balls with glue, roll them in cereals, for example, millet or coffee beans.

And a few more words about threads ...

If an air structure is being prepared, then the threads should be thin, light. For planters for flowers, it is better to take thick threads or even ropes and do not spare glue. Thread color can be any. It really depends on the glue you use. When the glue is transparent and leaves no residue, you can experiment by wrapping the ball with threads of different shades. Get even more interesting.





Hello, friends!

You probably came across information more than once on how to make volumetric balls from threads and glue.

What we need for this:

  • Balloon;
  • Jute thread;
  • PVA glue;
  • Scissors;
  • masking tape;
  • Hot glue.

Step 1.

First, you need to inflate a balloon of the size you need, the size of the basket and the amount of thread required, respectively, will depend on it. And then, you need to wind the thread around the ball in a chaotic manner - the more layers there are, the stronger the craft will turn out.

Step 2

Pour PVA glue into a small container, since the glue itself is thick and will not soak the thread well, add a little water to it and mix thoroughly.

Step 3

Gently, with a brush, apply the resulting adhesive solution to the entire thread wound around the ball so that it is well saturated. We hang the ball and wait for the glue to dry.

Step 4

The glue has dried and now you can remove the balloon from the thread ball, or you can remove it later when we cut off unnecessary parts from our workpiece.

Step 5

With masking tape, we delimit the shape of our future basket and cut off two extra parts with scissors. The photo below clearly shows what needs to be done and how.

Step 6

Since the edges of the basket turned out to be not quite even and ugly, they need to be ennobled somehow. This can be done by gluing to these edges, for a previously woven braid of jute thread, with hot glue. You can act at your own discretion.

The basket is ready and now, it can be decorated, for example, with artificial or live plants and flowers, or you can put it on the table on Easter and decorate it beautifully with decorative or real Easter eggs - there are a lot of options))).

Now in a spiral, start wrapping the rope in fabric. To prevent it from spreading, secure it with thread or glue. When you wrap the entire length of the workpiece, you can begin to collect the basket itself.

Twist the rope, giving it the shape of a circle. Level by level, secure it with a thread. Gradually rise up, shaping the product. You can independently adjust the height of the basket as you like. In the same way, you need to make handles and sew them to the basket.

That's all. It turned out a very beautiful, bright Easter basket. If desired, you can decorate it with fabric flowers, beads and so on.

How to make Easter eggs and baskets of thread with your own hands Photo Creative

Krashanki and Easter eggs are considered a symbol of Easter. However, the tradition of decorating eggs appeared long before Christianity.

For example, in Africa, ostrich eggs were dyed gold or silver as early as 50,000 years ago! But be that as it may, Easter is the brightest and most joyful holiday, not only for believers.

On this day, let's please our loved ones with holiday crafts with our own hands. Moreover, it is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance.

So, in order to do Easter eggs from threads you will need:

  • balloon;
  • paper glue or PVA;
  • multi-colored threads;
  • brush, needle, scissors;
  • decoration elements for decoration: different buttons, beads, beads, glass beads, crystals, small toys. In general, everything that you will find at home.

1: Inflate the balloon to any desired size and tie it tightly with string. Tie the end of the rope to the ball in a knot, then start wrapping the ball with a rope in a chaotic manner until the ball is completely covered with thread. Cut the thread and leave a tail for the loop.

2: Mix PVA glue with water 2:1. With a brush, cover your workpiece with a mixture of glue and water. Hang the ball somewhere by spreading newspaper or substituting a bowl until the glue stops dripping. Before the glue has fully cured (this can take up to a few days), place the bead on a flat surface to smooth the bottom.

3: After the glue is completely dry, pierce the ball with a needle and pull it out through the hole. It remains a beautiful frame of threads.

We decorate the resulting form as our heart desires. As they say, as long as the imagination is enough.

DIY Easter baskets made of threads

Easter eggs need pretty baskets. In the same way as eggs are made from threads, we can make such funny muzzles in the form of baskets on our own. We do the first 3 steps from the top instruction, then follow these points:

4: Use scissors to cut out an oval shape for the mouth of the figurine, while leaving 5 cm below so that you have enough space to lay the eggs. Remove the broken ball.

5: Use craft glue to decorate the figures with eyes, ears, antennae to make a bunny, chicken, monster, etc. Cut the thin wrapping paper and decorate the place inside your figurine.

funny Easter baskets ready. Now it remains to put eggs and sweets there.

Do-it-yourself box from a box and twine

Since there was no suitable box for sale, more and more female variants, then it was decided to make the box with their own hands. Although we try to throw away all unnecessary things and boxes and not accumulate rubbish in the closet, we still found one box from under the kettle at home. It has been slightly modified to open on the wide side rather than the narrow side. Simply put, the lid was cut from the side of the box, and the entire box around it was taped together for strength and durability.

Then my son's creative fantasies ended, and he asked me to decorate the box. I thought for a long time what decoration of the box I could do with my own hands. Decoupage came to mind, but I do not own this technique. I can only knit. Googled a bit, looked at what others were doing and I had an idea crochet caskets.

As a material, I decided to choose twine. I really like twine crafts that are now fashionable. For example, you can decorate flower pots with twine.

This time I decided to knit a case for the box from twine. I bought a skein of twine, it was just enough. I took a thicker hook (six).

I also needed glue and coffee beans.

Crochet box description

  1. We start crocheting the casket with a set of chains of air loops with a length equal to the perimeter of the future casket. It must be borne in mind that when knitting, this chain will stretch a little. After knitting the first row, I had to dissolve everything and dial the loops again.
  2. We close the chain in a large ring and knit with single crochets in a circle up without adding loops.
    I decided not to knit the bottom of the box. But if you wish, you can make it knitted.
  3. After all sides of the box are connected (we determine this by trying on), you need to tie the lid.
    We determine the width of the lid, measure on one side of the crocheted box with chalk or pins and continue knitting only in this part of it in reverse rows.
  4. We cut the twine, hide its tip. We reattach the lid in the left corner to tie it around the perimeter with a fast pace. I love this kind of edging. So I tied the Easter basket like that.

The box turned out to be quite soft and unstable, to my surprise, unlike the flower basket, which I knitted from ordinary wool blend yarn.

But it doesn't matter, because knitted case must be put on the box from the box. For strength, I glued it with PVA glue, alternately different sides, putting a load (book) on them and leaving to dry for a day

As a result, the cover was knitted in an evening and it took another three days to glue the sides and the lid and dry the box.

The crocheted box has leveled off, has ceased to bristle. But this is not yet its final form. I began to think about how to decorate the box.

DIY jewelry box decor

Twine goes well with coffee in both color and style. That's why I decorated the box with coffee beans.

For this purpose, I used the universal glue-gel "Moment". Still, it is more reliable than PVA.

We drip a little glue on a coffee bean and glue it on the knitted surface of the box. First, I laid out the vertical paths of coffee, and then the horizontal ones, while laying the coffee alternately on the left, then on the right.

She laid out “leaves” in the corners, and a small flower on the lid of the box.

Although I don’t really like working with glue, the universal “Moment” rolled off my fingers very easily and my hands remained almost clean after work.

The result pleased me, I did not even expect that it was so beautiful knitted box crochet will turn out, looks like wicker, but is just made with your own hands from a simple cardboard box.

By the way, you can also knit a flower pot from twine, and a beautiful basket.

Similar boxes for documents can be used for various small things, for needlework supplies.

I put my two twine crafts in this video:

DIY Easter basket

DIY Easter basket is very easy to make. In such baskets you can give colored eggs. You can make them together with your children or grandchildren.


Progress

We make markings on a disposable cup. I made a markup every centimeter.

Then, with scissors, carefully make cuts along the marks almost to the end of the cup. Although the depth of the incision can be any at your discretion.

Then we will “weave” a basket. To do this, bend the resulting strips and fix them.

Thus, we do all the manipulations with all the stripes.

As a result, we will get such a preparation of an Easter basket.

From chenille wire you need to make a handle and attach it to the basket. The handle can also be made from simple wire, wrapped with a ribbon or even from ordinary thin cardboard or plastic.

This is what Easter egg baskets look like.

Such a basket can be made not only from disposable cups, but also from any plastic container. I've made another from a transparent two-liter bottle.

For example, I will show some more needlework from the Internet. So you can decorate baskets with Easter eggs.

Take an ordinary sheet of A4 size cardboard (297 x 210 mm) and cut it in half across. The size of the resulting sheet is A5 (210 x 148 mm). Cut out an egg shape from this sheet. In our example, white cardboard was used, but it will turn out even more beautiful if you take a sheet of cardboard of the same color as the thread with which you will then wrap the basket. Then the gaps between the threads, if they appear during the winding process, will not be so noticeable. Here's a little trick.


Now, with a pencil, draw another smaller oval inside this oval. Draw a line, stepping back from the edge of the large oval by about 1-1.5 cm. But at the bottom of the oval, indent more - 3-4 cm.


Cut out the shape along the drawn outline. Get a basket with a long handle.




Now it's time for threads. The thicker the thread, the better. Take the thread of the color you have chosen for the basket. Absolutely anyone will do, except, perhaps, green. Yes, and it is not suitable only if your flowers are with leaves. If leaves are not supposed to be in your craft, or if you simply do not have enough other threads, green will do. Even a gloomy black color will do if the flowers in the basket are large and bright.
How many threads do you need to wrap the whole basket? It is difficult to calculate, so it is better to use the entire skein. Our basket is large enough that it can easily pass through the inner hole when wrapping. If you are not comfortable working with a large skein, make a small ball - but this is additional work and time.

Start winding the thread around the basket in circles. Try to make each turn close to the previous one so that there are no gaps between them, otherwise the craft will look sloppy.


To prevent the thread from unraveling, it is better to temporarily fix its end, for example, with a paper clip.


As you wrap, pull the thread from time to time, as it tends to gradually relax, and this again, again, gives the craft a sloppy look.


When you get to the place where you started wrapping, tie the ends of the thread with an ordinary double knot on the back of the craft and cut the ends short with scissors so that they are not visible.


Again, take the thread of the same color and wind it around the handles of the basket according to the principle: from left to right, from top to bottom. Make something like a web in this way. There is no need to make too many turns: 4-5 will suffice. This "cobweb" is needed not only for beauty, it will perform an important task: we will tie flowers to it with threads.
Try to wind the "cobweb" so that the end of the thread returns to its beginning in order to tie them together, as we did with the basket winding.




To make flowers and leaves, cut out a few circles and fiugroc in the form of drops from cardboard.


Now you need to do the fine work: just as we cut out the inner contour of the basket, you will need to draw exactly the same inside each shape, stepping back from the edge by about 5 mm. Then you will need to cut them out along the drawn contours. It is best to use not ordinary paper scissors for this delicate work, but nail scissors. You will get rings and "hollow" (empty from the inside) droplets.


Take woolen threads bright colors and wrap them around the cut out parts. For each of them you will need about 60-100 cm of thread. In this case, cut the thread of this length from the skein for each part, preferably with a margin. If you didn’t calculate and there wasn’t enough thread, it doesn’t matter: take another thread and tie their ends on the back of the part. Cut the tails, and the junction will be almost imperceptible.


As in all previous cases, we finish wrapping in the same place where we started, tie the ends of the thread with a knot and cut off the protruding tails.


Tie the received details to baskets in the form of flowers and leaves with threads of the same color as these details. Tie them to the threads of the "web" and to the handles of the basket.
You can sew flowers with thin threads. Sew with small inconspicuous stitches.


The basket can be decorated with flowers, berries and leaves of various shapes. Fantasize!
