Original paper crafts - wonderfula way to decorate your home or office on holidays and weekdays. Today I will share with readers in several ways how easy it is to make paper balls with your own hands. Immediately I will clarify that the instructions given are quite universal and with their help you can easily make decorative elements for interior decoration, Christmas tree decorations and even elegant lampshades.
Of course, without drawings and diagrams, explaining how to make a ball out of paper will not be easy, so I deliberately selected not very complicated structures.
Cute ball to decorate the room can bemake out of cards, magazines, colored paper, handmade cardboard. In order to glue the ball, we need modules in the shape of a circle. You can make them on a template of any size. After you have cut the figures, draw them in such a way that the square will be inside the circle. After that, mark the circle segments face up on the marking line. To get a three-dimensional ball, it is necessary to glue together all the modules along the curved sides from the inside.
It’s difficult to name the exact number of modulesbecause it depends on the size of the finished ball. If you want to complicate the design a little, you can glue one flower out of paper into the center of each circle, taking only its core with glue. Petals can be bent freely.
The next instruction will be on how to make a ballfrom paper tishyu. For those who do not know what it is, I will explain. Tishyu is a special sort of thin paper, somewhat similar to tracing paper. For the manufacture of the ball will need 6 sheets.
We start with the fact that we fold all the sheets in half in the middle. Then from one end we fold all sheets of accordion so that the edge is not more than 2 cm in height.
We intercept the resulting "fan" in the middlewire and immediately fix the tape on which the finished ball will be hung. At both ends we cut off the edges at an angle so that the finished design looks more natural. As a matter of fact, our design is almost ready, it remains to gently straighten the paper. We lift the first layer almost perpendicularly, distribute the rest evenly. Six layers of paper will make the upper hemisphere and the same, respectively, the lower. Such paper balls look like giant chrysanthemums. They can quite serve as decoration of the house or giving.
Perhaps some of you already know how to make a ball of paper using volumetric elements in the form of a cone. However, since this design is extremely simple, I will give a description of it.
For the manufacture of such a ball, we needdouble sided paper. Using the template, cut circles and cut them into two halves. Note that the diameter of the future ball depends on the radius of the base element. Fold each half of the circle into a cone and glue it along the seam. Then we connect the cones together. Do not forget to attach a loop in order to hang the ball on the Christmas tree.
With this technology, you can easily make Christmas decorations in the form of fruits or berries. To do this, it is enough to attach leaves of suitable form to the ball, and now the apple or blackberry is ready.
There are many ways to make a ball out ofpaper, and here's another one of them. In general, it differs little from papier-mâché technique, but in this case we use a balloon as a blank. Instead of glue is best to take flour paste. To begin with, we coat a puffed ball with a layer of paste. Paper type newsprint (thicker will not fit) tear into small pieces and glue each of them to the surface of the ball as tightly as possible to each other. After the first layer dries, add the second, then the third and so on until the desired thickness. This work is painstaking and slow.
After the last layer dries, you can release the air from the balloon and decorate the finished structure at your discretion.
I hope the recommendations on how to make a ball out of paper will be useful to you and will become a good basis for creativity. Due to its simplicity, even children can use these instructions with ease.
