Want original and inexpensive Christmas balls?
The Christmas baubles on sale in supermarkets are all really pretty, but too expensive for a small budget.
Because Christmas is the price of the tree, the decorations, the electric garlands and above all the gifts, not to mention the Christmas Eve meal...
So I found a trick to easily make beautiful cheap Christmas balls at home:cobweb effect Christmas baubles!
I show you how I make great Christmas balls in 10 min.
To give you an idea of the result, imagine an empty ball of white thread inside, therefore transparent.
The threads form a ball and give the impression of a cobweb. It worked, didn't it?
Here's how:
- du wool yarn in the color of your choice
- glue
- a balloon
- ribbons or thread (to hang the balls on the tree)
1. Inflate a balloon the size of a Christmas bauble.
2. Take the yarn.
3. Cut 40 to 50 cm.
4. Dip it in the glue.
5. Wrap the yarn around the balloon in all directions , so as to form a ball of thread.
6. Once the glue has dried, pierce the balloon.
7. Remove the plastic pieces from the balloon.
8. Attach a ribbon to the ball.
And there you have it, you have made a wonderful Christmas bauble easily and in a few minutes :-)
Easy, fast and economical!
If you decide to add an object to it, the best thing is to drag itinside the balloon of balloon.
It will remain trapped in its wire web once the balloon has burst.
You can also add glitter on the wire for a more magical effect.
To do this, pour glitter directly into the glue in which you soak the yarn before wrapping it around the balloon.
Once the glue has dried and the balloon has been pierced, the result is great:a transparent ball of threads appears.
These yarn Christmas balls are simply very chic , with pretty ribbons to hang them on the tree.
The transparency effect makes it look light and almost as refined only lace.
And your little ones will be delighted to discover themselves artists at heart with such creations! Merry Christmas everyone!
Let's say that if I want pretty Christmas balls, I have to count at least €1 per scoop, and much more if sold individually. And the price can quickly increase.
A pretty painted or glitter ball can cost up to 8 €, I don't know what you think, but me, it sends shivers down my spine!
Plus the electric garlands, the wreath to hang on the front door, the garlands to hang on the tree... what a ruin!
By making my own Christmas balls, I offer a fun activity for children and I save my money to give them nice gifts.
And that's the main thing, isn't it?
