From threads and PVA glue, you can make a bright ball, like a lampshade for a lamp, garland, Christmas tree decoration or pendant. Master classes with photos for beginners will tell you step by step how to create decorative products with your own hands.

What materials will be required

Before we tell you step by step with a photo how to make a ball from threads and PVA glue, we list the materials that will be required for novice craftsmen.

Thread or yarn

For a master class, you should not buy thin threads - they will not work out a strong frame. Also, synthetic or nylon ones are not suitable, they do not absorb glue well, and it is very difficult to wind them on a ball due to their smooth texture.

Twine or cotton yarn for knitting is the best choice.

Glue

In order for the frame of the cobwebs of the thread to be durable, it is better to choose PVA glue, which is used for installation work, it can be bought at any hardware store.

Some craftsmen also use office glue, but it does not always give the desired level of adhesion of the threads.

In addition to glue, homemade paste is also suitable. To do this, heat up a glass of water. Pour 2 tbsp into a separate container. tablespoons of starch and sugar, pour in a third of a glass of cold water. Stir and pour the resulting mixture into hot water, stir and after boiling, cook for 5-7 minutes.

Balloons

For a master class, ordinary balloons are suitable, but it is better to purchase with a long tail. After all, if such balls are tied with threads, then they can be used more than once.

In addition to the materials listed, you will also need any container for dipping the threads in glue, cling film, oily cosmetic cream, so that you can easily separate the ball of threads from the balloon.

How to make a ball of threads and PVA glue

Now we go directly to the master class itself and, step by step, with a photo for beginners, we will tell you how to make a ball from threads and PVA glue.

Inflate a balloon of the required diameter, tie it with strong threads, if you plan to use the balloon again

Gently wrap the ball with cling film and cover with a thin layer of petroleum jelly or cosmetic cream, only greasy

Pour the glue into any container convenient for work, place the yarn and leave for 30 minutes so that the threads are well saturated with the adhesive

Then we press the end of the thread to the surface of the ball, wrap the ball several times so that the thread is well fixed. And then we completely wrap the ball in a chaotic manner. If you want the surface of the ball to be combined, then we use threads of different colors and thicknesses. We wrap the surface with them in stages and create a pattern. We leave a little free space near the tail of the balloon, so that later the balloon can be removed from the finished product

• After the main stage of work is completed, we leave the ball to dry, but just do not put it on a horizontal surface, otherwise it may deform. It is best to hang it on a crossbar. We leave the ball to dry for 7 hours, but better for a day. It's easy to check the readiness of the craft, lightly press on the frame and if it is dense and firm enough, then we continue to work.
• Now we take out the balloon, if it was tied with threads, then we simply untie it and blow it off, and if not, then we pierce it with a needle, but in no case let it burst. Through the hole left, carefully take out the ball along with the remnants of dried glue.

Here's a ball of threads and PVA glue turned out, a master class with a photo turned out to be simple, the main thing is to do the work in stages and then make both a beautiful and original decoration even for novice craftsmen. The main thing is to make a frame of 3-4 filament overlays so that it turns out to be strong and does not deform in the future

What can be made from a thread ball

If you make a ball from threads and PVA glue, then you can get both an independent decorative element and an excellent blank for creativity. And even for novice craftsmen there is always an interesting and simple master class. For example, from thread balls you can make a funny snowman like in the photo.

Material:

• 6 balls of threads;
• coffee;
• glue;
• skewer;
• beads;
• tapes;
• cinnamon stick;
• bast (tow);
• twine.

Master Class:

For a snowman, you need to make 2 balls from white threads for the body and head, 2 small balls also from white threads for pens and 2 small balls from black threads for legs

• We take two main balls and glue them together.
• Now we also fix the legs with glue, and at the joints we slightly flatten them so that the snowman stands steadily on its legs.
• We also glue the handles to the snowman.

• Next, we make a broom for the snowman. To do this, take a skewer, wrap it with twine, fix the ends of the thread with glue.
• For the panicle itself, we take bast or tow, you can just take the threads and fluff them up. We glue the selected material to the wrapped skewer and, for reliability, fix the broom on the outside with a twine.

• We apply the resulting broom to the handle of the snowman and fix it with glue.
• Cut out a smile from the red ribbon, use a cinnamon stick instead of a nose.
• We make the eyes from coffee beans, which can be replaced with beads or buttons.

The snowman is almost ready, all that remains is to decorate it. We glue coffee beans in place of the buttons, tie a scarf for him using any ribbons, and make a hat for him from the threads for knitting

Garland of thread balls

The proposed master class with a photo will show you how to make a bright garland and a night light for a party in stages. To do this, you need to prepare several balls at once from threads and PVA glue. Even a novice master can handle such a simple craft.

Materials:

• air balloons;
• PVA glue;
• cream;
• multi-colored threads;
• Garland.

Master Class:

Inflate small balloons and tie. We try to keep everyone the same size

• Now we grease the surface of the balls with glue and choose threads of different colors.
• We saturate the threads with glue and wind them around each ball. We are waiting for several hours for the details for the future garland to dry well.

• We punch the balls with a pin and remove the remains.
• Now we select the balls from the thread by color so that they look harmonious together.

We expand the holes in the balls with scissors and insert the bulbs inside

For crafts, we use a garland only with LED bulbs that do not heat up. It is impossible to place ordinary lamps in such lampshades and it is dangerous, it can lead to a fire.

Christmas balls made of threads

Such a master class for beginners will tell you step by step how to make a Christmas ball from threads and PVA glue. Christmas decorations are very beautiful, bright and original, as in the photo.

Material:

• spray paint;
• sequins;
• decor.

Master Class:

1. We inflate the ball of the required size, grease the surface with cream and wrap it with threads soaked in glue.
2. After the glue is completely dry, pierce the ball and remove it.
3. On the resulting ball of threads, apply a layer of gold paint from a spray can.
4. While the paint has not dried, sprinkle glitter on the ball.
5. As soon as the paint dries, we decorate the balls with any New Year's decor.
6. To decorate balls of threads, you can use bows, half-beads, cones with berries, snowflakes. And you can hang such balls on the Christmas tree using a silver or golden rope, but you can also take the usual New Year's rain.

A ball of threads and PVA glue can be made in different sizes and colors, it all depends on both your desires and imagination. If you correctly and step by step complete the proposed master class with a photo for beginners, you can get a beautiful decor for your home.
