Probably, you have often thought about how to decorate the house for the holiday in an original way, or how to decorate a valuable gift to a loved one. The best jewelry is made with your own hands, and you can learn how to make beautiful and unusual balls, which both adults and children can glue. Such balloons will become a bright decoration of the New Year's holiday, a friendly party and a children's birthday.
It is necessary
- - thick paper (for example, whatman paper);
- - threads;
- - glue;
- - pencil;
- - ruler;
- - compasses;
- - scissors.
Instructions
Step 1
Draw a circle of the desired radius on paper, and then draw another one from the center of the circle, the radius of which should be half the radius of the main circle. Draw an equilateral triangle through the edges of the small circle, inscribing it into the large circle.
Step 2
Take scissors and push the outline of the triangle along the ruler with their blunt end. You will have three rounded "ears" that need to be bent. Using the created shape as a template, make 19 more circles with triangles, and fold the rounded edges.
Step 3
Now take PVA glue and start glueing the parts of the future ball, gluing together the "ears" of the parts in pairs. First, glue five blanks to get the semblance of a pentagon, and then glue four more shapes, fastening a loop in it for hanging a ball of thread.
Step 4
Continue to connect the parts of the ball so that exactly five triangular parts connect at each point. Glue the parts until they are completely spherical. Glue the last pair of "ears", and to the bottom of the ball, if desired, attach a decorative brush.
Step 5
Such a ball can be used not only as an interior decoration, but also as a gift wrapping - in this case, you need to improve the "ears" without gluing them, but fixing them with the help of special cuts. Thus, the person to whom you give the gift will be able to unfold the package and get any item out of it.
