To make toys you will need:

• Beads, pendants, beads different sizes, sequins, pendants
• Glue
• Scissors
• Needles or pins
• decorative ribbons, braid
• Plastic balls, Styrofoam balls, or seashells found on the coast

Before work, it is worth marking rows on our plastic or foam ball. The step width here is the sequin height. And then everything is as easy as shelling pears - we take a sequin with tweezers, dip the tip into the glue and adapt it to its place on the ball.

And in the center of the sequins, you can stick one bead at a time, alternating them with small beads. So our ball will turn out to be more voluminous.

With shells it's even easier. It is enough to take a thread with beads strung on it and wrap it along the curls of the shell itself. Everything seems to be simple, but look what an elegant toy has learned.

And here are some more vivid examples of New Year's toys made of beads, sequins and any materials that come to hand.

MASTER CLASS - 2

The set of required materials remained unchanged:

• Styrofoam balls
• sequins
• Carnation pins
• Glue
• Ribbon (or wire) for hanging the ball

Please note that sequins are not only the usual round shape, but their shape can be very diverse. By using different types sequins can create real masterpieces.

And you can also use beads, bugle beads or beads, planting beads on studs. There is a huge scope for imagination!

First, we will see what sequins are, except for round ones. Look at the photo: there are sequins with New Year theme, Christmas trees, snowflakes and stars.

Check out our selection of photos of New Year's crafts - sparkling sequin balls, we hope it will inspire you to make your own masterpiece. Note that in balls - hedgehogs, the sequins are located not only on the surface of the foam ball, but also rise above the surface of the ball with the help of glass beads.

MASTER CLASS №3

What we need:

• Styrofoam ball(s)
• Sequins of different colors
• pins
• Glue
• Tape (or other device) for hanging the ball

What we do:

1. Glue the ends of the tape to the surface of the ball to make a loop.

2. We begin to decorate the ball. We take a sequin, string it on a pin to the very head of the pin and stick it into the ball. With the first sequins (3-4 pieces), we additionally fix the tape for strength.

3. We continue to string sequins on pins and stick them into the ball, gradually covering its entire surface.

4. We admire the result! The ball can be hung on a Christmas tree, can be used as a New Year's interior decoration.

The ball doesn't have to be small. Ball bigger size you can also decorate with sequins, but there should be a lot of sequins and pins, and you will have to be patient. If you decorate a large ball with only silver sequins, you get a real disco ball - a disco ball. A large ball can be hung from the ceiling next to a light source - and the New Year's festive mood will be provided to everyone, and especially to children!

To hang the ball, you can use not only the tape. For example, it can be a loop of thin wire, a loop of wire with tinsel, or even a screw with a ring wrapped in thread for beauty, as you can see in the photo below. By the way, the tape can also be used differently - narrow or wide, or you can use a beautiful cord.

Sequins on the ball can be arranged in the form of an ornament. In order to get such an ornament, as in the figure below, you must first “lay out” the “belt” around the circumference of the ball with sequins of the same color. Further, close to the first row, we make the second row - of a different color, and so on.

• If you don't like having to use pins (and if you want to work on the balloon with a small child, then this is especially true), just grease the surface of the balloon with transparent glue and glue the sequins.
• If you are using glue instead of pins, be sure to hang the finished ball somewhere so that it can dry completely.
• If you are using small balls, then please note that the length of the pin should not be larger than the diameter of the ball.
• If you want the ball to really sparkle, then choose beautiful shiny sequins so that they reflect light well.
• If you want more sparkle, then choose pins with a small head so that they cover the surface of the sequin less.
• You can choose sequins of any color, the ball can be multi-color and one-color or with an ornament, but it will sparkle in any case!

Glossy, matte, painted, decoupage, decor - it is popular every year. And every year, many new photos are posted on the Internet from beautiful ideas ball decorations. The more handicraft techniques and materials for creativity appear, the more interesting for masters to make a traditional thing individual, original, unlike anything previously done.

Today we will talk and consider New Year's balls with sequins.

So, about sequins

Sequins are small discs with a hole in the middle, on the side, or on both sides. They are of different sizes, shapes, colors, transparent, pearlescent, metallic, matte and shiny, flat and voluminous, even in the form of braid. They are used in jewelry, embroidered dresses, used to decorate various items. We will talk about one of these items today. These are Christmas balls.

Tools and materials

To decorate Christmas balls with sequins, in addition to sequins, you need to prepare a foam ball and pins with beautiful hats, screw with a loop, glue, tape or cord.

How to decorate Christmas balls with sequins?

Before you start, decide how you want to decorate the ball - it will be one color or it will be a sequin ornament. Based on this stock up necessary material, taking into account the color and additional decorations, if such are foreseen in the design.

The direction of attaching the sequins depends on the chosen ornament. If these are strips, then divide the foam ball into two even parts and mark the line with a pencil. Along this line, begin to fasten the sequins with pins, sticking them into the central hole. Then move from the center up, and then from the center down. This way you will achieve symmetry in the arrangement of the stripes relative to the center of the ball.

If the ball will consist of plain sequins, then start decorating from the crown and move down. First, attach one sequin, then fix the first circle around it in a circle, then the second circle, etc. Attach a screw with a loop to the ball. To do this, dip the screw into the glue and screw it into the foam ball. Tie a cord or ribbon to the loop. As a result, we get elegant Christmas balls with sequins.

What is shown in the photo?

I am posting a photo of this utility that has not yet been completed, and whoever first guesses what it is and what it is planned to use for will immediately receive 50 rubles.

How to make spectacular Christmas balls with your own hands? Easy! Nothing super complicated, everything is elementary.

It will take quite a bit of starting materials - foam as the base plus sequins.

Many people have a question - how to attach (maybe stick) the decor to the ball? Secure with pins or just glue.

But the first option is preferable - the decor holds better, looks more interesting in my opinion.

DIY Christmas ball toy - mini master class

In the picture below you see both all the items necessary for work, and the master class itself. christmas decoration. It is so simple and accessible, the photo speaks for itself, that more is not required.

The advantage of this method is the availability, as well as the low cost of materials, the simplest technique, the balls do not beat, leaving fragments.

So, I'll list it again. All you need is:

• Styrofoam balls (or other shaped objects)
• Pins with a flat or round head (depending on the desired result)
• Sequins (single or different colors)

All this is sold in such round and square packages, as seen in the photo. It is not necessary to make everything plain, but it also looks good, more elegant.

Sequins should be tried to attach close to one another so that there are no gaps. Then the entire surface will shine glossy, and the craft itself will look almost like a real glass shiny New Year's ball, to which we have become accustomed since childhood.

For hanging, before you start working, you can fasten a thin cord to the ball, for which a Christmas toy will be hung on a Christmas tree or somewhere else. This is best done before you start, and it will be more convenient to hold the ball when you pin the sequins.

But this is optional. If you make a large ball, then it is not necessary to hang it on a Christmas tree, it will look good separately, as an interior decoration, on a table or windowsill. especially if there are several different sizes. You can choose the color scheme, the diameter of the ball yourself according to your taste, desire and based on specific goals. It's up to you.

Such a ball will serve as a small New Year's gift acquaintances or an addition to it for relatives.

Styrofoam - the basis for creativity

On sale you can find many options for foam figures of different shapes and sizes, which are quite suitable for this technique of creating New Year's Christmas decorations. These are snowflakes, cones that can be arranged in the form of a Christmas tree, decorated in a spiral with a garland (sequins of a different color), bells.

I already had a similar master class, very simple and doable even for small children to create Easter decorations with your own hands. The only thing that must be taken into account if you are working with children is that pins can get lost, and this is very dangerous. Therefore, follow this very carefully, and I also advise you to get a special magnetic stand for small metal objects (paper clips, etc.), which will keep all the pins necessary for work in one place. The likelihood that one will be accidentally lost will be much less.

Making Christmas decorations is now fashionable, using natural natural materials. Cones - spruce, pine, even alder - can easily be found in the forest, you just need to take care of this in advance - collect them in the summer at the dacha or in the fall for walks in the parks. Harvested, they are stored for a long time in a dry form, until it's time to make crafts.

Original huge or very small balls for the New Year can be made using completely unnecessary things that we get for free. Separately, two halves of approximately the same size are made with glue, which are then combined into a single whole - a sphere that looks more than unusual due to non-standard materials.

Absolutely the same option, only these are not hand-made New Year's balls, but testicles - only the shape is different. Sequins with pins are fixed alternately on the foam, which serves as the basis. The only difference is not christmas decor. Here you will find many different colors and other nuances that can also be applied to Christmas balls.
