It will start very soon new year holidays. And it's time to get ready to decorate the house, get tinsel, Christmas decorations, garlands and other familiar decor elements. But the same type of compositions created from year to year can get boring, so you can try to make original and simple crafts from improvised materials with your own hands.
Cotton balls resembling real snowballs will look very neat and stylish. These gentle and soft products you can use them for playing, make a composition out of them, or, by adding a mount, hang them on a Christmas tree.
How to choose the basis for blanks
Cotton wool is in every home, so making snowballs from this material will be easy. Children can also be involved in the manufacture of New Year's decorations, turning this activity into exciting game. There are several ways to make a snowball out of cotton wool. One option: take a newspaper or crumpled paper as a base, PVA glue is applied to the surface, the material is wound in several layers. Such snowballs will turn out heavy and hard. They are best used for compositions or as a decoration on the bottom of a Christmas tree. Making soft cotton balls takes a little patience and a few materials available.
Creating decor from improvised materials
The process of making snowballs from cotton wool with your own hands, step-by-step instruction which is given below, does not take much time and does not require special preparation. IN central part you can put a synthetic winterizer or a piece of foam, old sock or a nylon stocking, a ball of thread. It does not matter how the base will look - it will still not be visible under the shell of cotton wool. Therefore, you can use almost any material that is at hand. Of course, it is desirable that the blanks are light or white - then you will not need to worry that the motley base will begin to shine through the top layer. But, if there are no other options, to avoid this, you just need to use large quantity material.
Do-it-yourself snowballs from cotton wool: step by step instructions
How to make a snowball from cotton wool:
- Cooking necessary tools- scissors, white thread with a needle, an unnecessary stocking and cotton wool.
- Cut the stocking into pieces.
- Inside each segment, you can place unnecessary scraps of fabric, and then stitch the material so that a spherical blank is obtained.
- After that, it is enough to decorate the surface with cotton wool or a bandage, flash it with white threads so that the craft does not fall apart.
If parents are engaged in making jewelry with their child, it is best to entrust the kids with the choice of material and surface treatment of products, and leave the work with the needle to adults, as it is a dangerous tool, children can get hurt. The finished snowball will look more decorative if you add sparkles or ordinary Christmas tree tinsel to cotton wool.
Quick way to make cotton balls
When doing needlework with a child, you can use one quick way to make a snowball out of cotton wool. For it you will need PVA glue and glitter hairspray. The technique for creating such crafts is very simple: just drop glue on a piece of cotton wool, roll a ball out of it and cover with hairspray on top. From such decorative elements, you can make a composition, make a snowman or make a snow garland by stringing balls on a thread.
If you unfold a skein of cotton wool in the form of a canvas, pour glue on it and roll it into a ball, you will get a big snowball. The process of its manufacture is very similar to how real lumps of snow are molded. The surface of such a ball is also best decorated with glitter hairspray. It is advisable to use a strong hold varnish.
How to make a snowball using cotton pads
Cotton pads are an affordable and versatile material from which you can create amazing new Year decoration, including snowmen, Christmas decorations, garlands, and indeed Christmas tree Same. Using a thread, a needle and a little imagination, needlewomen create angels, flowers and decorative panels from these familiar household items. For the snowball cotton pads make special blanks in the form of corners.
Each circle is folded twice and fixed with glue. Then glue is applied to the tips of the resulting corners and they are collected in 4 pieces. The resulting parts are interconnected to form a hemisphere. Having collected two hemispheres, you can get a finished openwork snowball.
The cold way to make snowballs
There is another interesting option how to make a snowball out of cotton. But for him it will be necessary to cook a starch paste. Per glass cold water take 2 teaspoons of starch and bring to a boil over low heat, stirring constantly so that lumps do not form. If this still happened, they can be removed with a fork.
The resulting mass should be cooled so as not to get burned during operation. With a brush, glue is applied to pre-prepared cotton balls. It is desirable to spread the glue over their surface in a thin layer, after which the snowball can be dipped in sparkles and dried with a hairdryer or on a battery.
Turning a snowball into a Christmas toy
It’s easy enough to turn cotton snowballs into a Christmas tree decoration if you stick a ribbon or other fastener to them. Also, the surface can be decorated with bright threads or painted in different colors using ordinary watercolors or gouache. Enough to dilute the paint desired color in water and dip the workpiece into it, then dry it on a sheet of paper.
Cotton pads are also easily painted with gouache. They can be used to create figures made up of various colored parts. The elements are fastened together with a paste, but it is important to dry all the workpieces thoroughly before painting. This is done so that the paint does not flow.

Gynecological therapy in the vast majority of cases is based on an integrated approach. A key factor in the success of the local treatment of women's diseases is to ensure high-quality access of active ingredients to the epicenter of the problem. Irrigation, baths, douching sometimes do not fulfill this condition, therefore it is most rational to use self-made products for this purpose. This article will tell you how to make a tampon for gynecology yourself.
Why funds for critical days are not suitable for gynecological treatment
It should be understood that before the usual hygiene products used by women for protection during menstruation, a deliberately different task is set. They are designed to absorb abundant blood discharge, while during the period of therapy the maximum return of the drug is required.
It is difficult to impregnate an industrially prepared agent with an active substance, especially a drug that has a viscous consistency. And if this can be done, then problems with the procedure for introducing the product into the vagina are not ruled out (the vaginal cylinder may increase in size, as in the photo, even before the procedure begins).
Another argument against industrial tampons is the possibility of a feeling of dryness in the vagina due to the high absorbency of the compressed material.
What diseases can homemade tampons be useful for?
Most often, homemade products are used in the treatment of the following gynecological diseases:
- adnexitis (inflammation of the appendages);
- cervicitis (inflammation of the cervix);
- colpitis (damage to the vaginal mucosa);
- parametritis (infectious and inflammatory lesions of the tissue around the uterus);
- candidiasis ("thrush").
Materials for manufacturing
Before you make a tampon for treatment in gynecology with your own hands, you should make sure that you have everything you need at home:
- sterile gauze or bandage;
- sterile medical gloves;
- needle and thread;
- scissors;
- cotton wool
All tools used must be pre-disinfected with an alcohol solution or by boiling. It would also be correct to treat the used thread with an antiseptic.
Self-made tampon at home
Cotton gauze swab
Consider the instructions with a photo: how to make a medical tampon from a bandage and cotton wool step by step.
- Wash your hands thoroughly, and it is better to use medical gloves.
- Separate a strip about 20 cm long from the bandage.
- Roll up cotton ball ik, the diameter of which is 2-3 cm.
- Fold the resulting tape in half and place a cotton ball between the resulting layers of matter.
- With a thread treated with alcohol, tie the gauze directly under the cotton ball.
- Apply a remedy to a cotton ball and insert it into the vagina.
If everything is done correctly, then in the end the tampon head should turn out to be quite dense, otherwise there may be problems with the introduction of the product.
Bandage product (gauze)
Let's talk about how to make a do-it-yourself tampon from gauze or bandage.
- Carry out preparatory hygiene procedures.
- Cut a bandage equal to 40-50 cm long from the bandage. Do the same with gauze, focusing on a width of about 10 cm.
- Fold the resulting strip along, carefully tucking the edges inward. This will avoid the occurrence of inflammation due to the threads remaining in the vagina.
- Roll the gauze into a tight cylinder to make something that looks like a commercially made tampon. You can see the result in the picture.
- Soak the gauze cylinder with the medicinal composition and act according to the instructions of the gynecologist.
Product using a finished tampon instead of a frame
Some women complain that they are uncomfortable inserting a homemade vaginal cylinder or a ball of cotton and bandage. There may be several reasons for this:
- insufficiently dense rolling of a cotton ball;
- weak fixation of the cotton ball with a thread, due to which the head of the resulting product does not hold its shape well, and this prevents comfortable penetration into the body;
- excessive volume of a homemade gauze cylinder.
What to do if the introduction of a self-made product causes inconvenience? A life hack will help you get out of the situation. To use it, you will need ready-made hygienic tampons, which are sold at any pharmacy.
The main condition is that each product has individual packaging (for example, products of the Obi or Kotex trademarks can serve).
The algorithm of actions is as follows (see photo):
- Do not remove protective mica! Just treat the surface of the product with alcohol to kill bacteria.
- Cut a strip of about 20-25 cm from the bandage. If necessary, you can make a two-layer structure (absorption will be higher).
- Bend the resulting strip in half and wrap it around the purchased product. Try to wrap the side sections of the bandage inward.
- Using a strong thread, fix the resulting structure and proceed to the treatment prescribed by the doctor.
The purchased hygiene product will play the role of a frame, due to which the insertion procedure will become much more comfortable.
As you can see, it is not difficult to make cotton-gauze products for the local treatment of women's ailments on your own. However, if you still have some questions and doubts, then the video will help to resolve them: how to make a tampon for gynecology at home.
From ordinary materials? Of those that we use in everyday life and hygiene, without even realizing that a certain aesthetics lies in them. Take, for example, cotton swabs. It seems that there is nothing beautiful in them: a plastic stick, and cotton swabs at both ends.
Look at this picture.
Aren't pretty balls obtained from cotton buds? These balls can be used to make Christmas decorations and decorative desktop compositions in the form of exotic flowers. But more on that later.
What do you need to make balls?
We need a base ball. It might be big foam ball with a diameter of 4-5 cm. If you don’t have foam balls, it’s okay: take a plastic quick-hardening mass based on gypsum, a ready-made mass for modeling, or just plasticine. We also need PVA glue, cotton buds themselves and watercolor paints dissolved in water to a soft pastel color.
The process of making balls from cotton buds.
We cut a handful of sticks in two obliquely to get a pointed tip in the form of a feather - it's easier to stick the stick into the base ball. We begin to evenly stick the sticks: first along the circumference, and then gradually fill one hemisphere and let it dry. By the way, for a fortress, you need to dip the tips of the sticks first into the glue, and then stick them in. Otherwise, when painting, wet and heavy sticks will fall out of the holes. When one half, studded with cotton buds, dries up, and the sticks sit firmly in the base ball, it's time to fill in the remaining empty hemisphere. You can try to do everything at once, just in this case it is difficult to hold the workpiece in your hands: the sticks are still loose and stagger.
Coloring.
Balls made of cotton swabs are very pleasant in tactile terms: they lie well in the palm of your hand and are extremely pleasant to take in your hands. They look pretty even in a simple, unpainted form. However, after painting, the balls look even more impressive. For coloring, we will prepare two or three bowls with tinted water. Water can be tinted with watercolors, food coloring, and even brilliant green or iodine. Painting is fast and a lot of fun. We simply dip our fluffy-spiky balls in tinted water, and then put them to dry, pricked on a skewer or wooden splinter. You can leave the balls to dry on oilcloth.
You can also paint the tips of cotton buds with a brush, dipping it into liquid paint, but in this case the tone will be more saturated. interesting effect we will get it if the plastic base of your sticks is not white, and not transparent, but colored, pink, yellowish or blue. The result is such exotic flowers. Monochrome version for a round flowerpot.
