Send

Many people find it easier to go to a store or market, choose the same Chinese balls and hang them on a Christmas tree, where there are already 20 of them. But creative needlewomen prefer to make Christmas tree toys with their own hands. And today you will learn how to make original balls from a plastic bottle.
To work, prepare the following components:
- a plastic bottle of 1.5 liters;
- scissors;
- double sided tape;
- tube with PVA glue;
- sequins of different sizes and shapes;
- braid.
To begin, cut off the middle part from the bottle. It is important to choose a container that has no reliefs and bends.

Cut this piece of plastic into thinner rings. Each width is approximately 1 cm. For one ball, 4 blanks are needed.

Connect the rings into a ball. To do this, thread them one into the other, having previously applied double-sided tape from above and below.
To connect the workpieces, you can use resistant glue.

After that, you need to decorate the faces of the rings. Apply points from PVA glue and apply the sequins. You can use golden square, silver round look beautiful.
If you wish, buy threads of multi-colored plastic beads and glue them with resistant glue or hot nails.
Decorate the bottom and top of the ball with ribbons or braid.
Shiny, delicate and unusual balls for New Year's pine or spruce come out!

If you take a container of 2 liters, then the ball will turn out to be large in diameter. When using 0.5 liter bottles you make small toys for artificial table spruce.
