For the holiday, we usually decorate not only ourselves, but also the apartment, so that the guests who have come can feel the holiday atmosphere. If this is a children's holiday, then, most likely, it will not do without balloons. You can, of course, hang ordinary balls, but now various figures are in fashion, which are created from special balls for modeling. Today we will learn how to make such figures. To do this, you will need the following materials: a soccer ball pump, modeling balls, educational literature, video tutorials, a marker, glue, free time and your imagination. Follow our step by step instructions.
Instructions
Get a soccer ball pump, available at any sports store. Usually, in addition to a ball needle, a plastic needle is included in the kit. With the help of this needle, we will inflate the balloons. Read about twisting, the art of making shapes from modeling balls. Using regular balls, you can create a whole sculpture out of balls. Search online for video tutorials. Take advantage of the lessons of a master named Michael Floyd. His lessons are in English, but everything will be clear from the video.
Purchase study literature on creating ball shapes. We recommend the books by Mikhail Draco "Modeling funny animals from balls" and I. Yaskovich "Modeling from balls". The books have step-by-step instructions on how to model different animals.
Buy balls for modeling, they are usually called for short - SHDM. In the store, a package of such balls can be purchased for about 130-150 rubles. You can also order balloons online, though it will be a little more expensive. Buy markers, but not regular ones. Make sure they are water-based, as the alcohol-based marker can easily corrode your balloon. Markers will be needed to draw muzzles on animal figures: eyes, nose and mouth.
Practice! It takes experience to create neat figures. Get together with the kids and learn to create figurines. Try to create separate elements first, and then connect them together. Create your own figures, twist the ball as you see fit. Turn on your imagination. Decorate the room with homemade figurines for the holiday, this will definitely cheer up all guests!
