Balls for modeling - sausage balls - have won their popular love due to their ability to turn into intricate animal figures, flowers and even whole compositions. For the first time, figures from elongated balls appeared in the 30s, giving rise to a whole direction of art - twisting.
Before diving headlong into the creative process, pay attention to the twisting technique. All twists are done in the same direction. With your free hand, hold the first and last bubbles, this will help maintain its shape and prevent the ball from spinning.
One is a chamomile, two is a chamomile
To make chamomile from balls, you will need two green and white balls, a hand pump. The white color of the ball does not limit your choice; to create a multi-colored bouquet, choose the color you like.
Using a pump, inflate the balloon so that the tip remains at least 3 cm. Tie the beginning and end of the balloon with two knots. Fold the structure in half and twist it in the middle two times. Divide the ball into three equal parts and twist in two places. Fold the accordion up and grasp it with your index finger and thumb where it twists. Twist the three petals with your right hand. This completes the creation of a flower and it's time to move on to the stem.
Inflate the green balloon to the end, but not too tightly so that twisting manipulations do not cause damage. Retreat 10 cm from the knotted knot, bend and twist the ball so that the knot is located in the place of twisting. Insert the stem into the middle of the flower.
Million Scarlet roses
Another fairly simple flower that can be obtained from a modeling ball is a rose. To make it, you need two red balls and two green ones. Fill the balls with the pump and fix the end firmly. To get a bud, fold the ball in half, twist its ends and mark the middle. Fold the resulting structure in half again and twist. As a result, you will have four petals.
Fold one of the green balls in half and tie the edges. Divide the ball by eye into three equal parts to obtain three leaves. Fold each piece in half and twist. Screw the ends of the red bud ball obtained earlier to the middle of the corolla. The second green ball will be the base of the stem. Bend the future leaves in the form of a loop and twist around the stem.
The second red ball will become part of the bud. Inflate the balloon and tie with a loose knot, tie the ends together. To connect the two parts of the bud into the second element, pass your hand, squeeze the four petals and thread them as if into a loop. Attach the stem to the end of the first ball-bud by twisting the ends. To get a bouquet, connect several flowers with a bow ball.
