Tips before creating balls of thread

On the balls of thread material can be taken in any color, but will fit any interior classic white or silver.
Before winding the thread, do not forget to lubricate the balloon with a good layer of any cream or oil, so that it does not stick to the thread.
Clay better buy more - it will leave a lot. One standard bottle goes to two small balls.
Air balls should be bought with a margin, during the manufacture of the craft they sometimes burst.
It is better to pre-lay the table or the floor with oilcloth or newspapers, so as not to glaze everything around and do not wipe it off afterwards.

The process of making balls of thread

No secret or difficulties in the manufacture of such balls is not required - everything is very, very simple:

The air balloon is inflated, then the surface is smeared with a layer of oil or Vaseline.

We take a bottle with glue, pierce it from below with a needleWith threaded thread, so that the needle comes out from above, the lid should be unscrewed. The thread is thus impregnated with glue. Under the bottle with glue it is better to put a container, so that the glue falls there, and not on the table. The second way: pour the glue into the container and we drown in it a thread for impregnation

When the thread is impregnated, we tie it to the inflatedA ball and wind on it with such a pattern as you want or what you get. The thread does not need to be tightened much, the tension should be the same as when winding it on a tangle.

When finished winding, tie the tipThread, trying to make it invisible, and we hang the balloon to dry for a day. Caution! Do not dry the balls from the glue near the batteries or other heating appliances, it will burst. Make sure that the threads dry completely is not difficult - they become hard.

After the thread has dried from the glue, pierce the ball and gently take it out.

A ready-made hand-made can be decorated at your own discretion with anything: beads, bows, beads, etc.

It is convenient to wind at first horizontally, then vertically, and then in any order. The main thing to exclude gaps and holes.
The future chandelier also dries for about a day, thenThe balloon is blown off, taken out and proceeds to fix the chandelier - that is, it is well sprayed with a special glue in the spray. It will not be superfluous to glue paper butterflies or other figures onto a thread lamp.
