On the eve of the New Year and Christmas holidays, work on making Christmas tree decorations becomes relevant. The ones made from polystyrene foam are no exception, a master class on the manufacture of which will show what interesting Christmas tree decorations you can make yourself.
Since polystyrene foam is used as a basis, the resulting Christmas tree balls will be unbreakable, which will please parents of children.
So, for such unbreakable balls we will need multi-colored threads, polystyrene foam, and any decor.
A ball of the required size cut out of foam plastic must be wrapped with thread. Having fixed the beginning of the thread, you need to wrap the ball crosswise, gradually moving over the entire area of the ball.
At a certain stage, you can wind it in a chaotic manner until the foam ball is completely hidden under the threads.
When the winding is finished, the end should be firmly fixed.
The decoration of the resulting ball depends only on your imagination and imagination. You can embroider various patterns.
Sew on the designed applique and decorate with beads.
Sew on sequins in the shape of flowers.
Be sure to come up with and secure a string with which the resulting ball can be hung on the Christmas tree.
Another version of a foam New Year's craft in the kimekomi style. The technique is quite interesting and originated in Japan for making dolls. In this master class, kimekomi is used to decorate foam balls.
We prepare in advance: a foam ball, multi-colored scraps of fabric, lace for finishing, various colored ribbons, beads, buttons, sequins, sewing pins, a stationery knife, scissors and other improvised means for sewing.
Since the pattern on the ball is usually symmetrical with respect to its poles, they must be marked at the very beginning of work.
We draw lines from the poles that are equidistant from each other. You can use a pen, pencil or disappearing marker for this.
Now all the lines of the pattern should be cut with a stationery knife to a depth of one centimeter. The work should be carried out very carefully and carefully.
We begin to work with the first part of the pattern, for which we coat it with glue in the form of a pencil.
Take a piece of the selected fabric and apply it to this part of the pattern. At this stage, the fabric should be positioned correctly depending on the direction of the pile.
Next, the kimekomi technique itself begins - using a thick needle or knitting needle, the fabric is inserted into the slits along the entire contour of the selected part of the pattern. Make sure that the fabric lies flat and does not warp.
After all the fabric has been inserted around the perimeter of the pattern, the rest of the fabric can be trimmed with scissors, so that two to three millimeters remain.
The resulting allowances can now be completely hidden in the slots.
This is what one completed segment of the pattern looks like.
We do the same with the remaining segments.
In principle, at this stage the ball already looks finished, but if you wish, you can continue the work further.
Using glue and the same large needle, we will glue and insert a little decorative lace at the borders of the pattern elements.
First, coat the area with glue, and then insert the lace there.
In some places, the lace can be completely hidden, but this is at your discretion.
In our case, the finished look of the New Year's ball will be given by such a cap for large beads, but you can use just a bead, sequin or something else.
Using a sewing pin, we pierce our ball; the pin must first be coated with glue.
For the pendant we use the same decorative cord.
To dilute the usual lace a little, we suggest decorating it with a bow like this. To do this, you need to wrap the ribbon around several fingers, literally five turns, without straightening it, pierce it with a pin.
To fix everything more securely, we also coat the pin with glue and stick it into our ball. Now the bow can be straightened in all directions, and the petals themselves can be grabbed a little with glue for security.
For all the proposed foam crafts, you need a perfectly flat foam ball, which is quite difficult to cut out yourself. However, for such work you can make a special device that will greatly facilitate your task.
First of all, you will need a pipe whose diameter is a couple of millimeters larger than the diameter of the future ball. The length of the pipe must be at least four times the diameter of the ball.
In the prepared tube, you should cut off a part of it, the length of which is equal to two diameters of the ball. Next, glue some sandpaper on the inside of the cut out part. WITH reverse side The tubes should be glued with sandpaper in the same way as shown in the photo.
