Now the tradition to decorate the Christmas tree - it's just pleasant chores and additional decor, creating a sense of celebration. The most common thing that is hung on the spruce branches is the ball. Bright, monochrome, with pictures and abstract patterns, Christmas-tree toys are sold in almost every supermarket.

Such crafts can be decorated not only the Christmas tree, they will be an excellent festive piece of interior decor. Material for the New Year's ball can be a lot of things: paper, fabric, beads, polymer clay. Wonderful and delicate handicrafts are obtained in the technique of decoupage or origami. However, the most delicate and lacy Christmas balls are obtained from threads. There are several ways to make them, in this article we offer New Year balls of thread crocheted. Christmas balls of string crochet It will take:
- Yarn for knitting. The best option would be cotton threads, such as "Iris". You can also use acrylic.
- Hook No. 1 - No. 2.
- Air balloons.
- PVA glue.
Below are a few schemes for knitting balls. Our master class is executed according to the second scheme.
The first river. In a ring of 6 cp. bind 4 cpp, 23 tbsp. s / 2n. Finish 1 с.с. with the 4th interf. The second river. 4 cpp, 1 stp, then we knit in each loop for 1 tbsp. s / 2n, alternating them with 1 vol. we end the circle in the same way as the first 1 c.s. in the 4th cp. Third r. 3 vpp, 1 stp, then we knit in each st. s / 2n second round of 1 tbsp. с / н, between them we are tying on 1 в.п. We finish the series similarly to the previous two 1 s.s. in the 3rd cp.
Fourth р. 1 с.с., 1 в.п.п.п., 1 tbsp. b / n in the same stitch of the base, * 1 st, then to the next st. the third row is knitted (1 st c / n + 5 vp + 1 st c / n), 1 cp, next cp. third circle we knit 1 tbsp. b / n *. We continue to knit from *, we finish the series 1 s.s. in the first art. b / n. The Fifth River. 1 pp, 1 tbsp. b / n in the same loop of the base, * 1 in., in the arch of 5 cp. We knit (1 stp + 1 item s / n 4 times + 1 more s / n), then we knit 1 cp, 1 tbsp. b / n in 1 tbsp. b / n of the fourth row *. We continue from * to the end of the circle. We finish 1 с.с. in 1 cp.
It is necessary to connect two such halves of the ball. When you knit the second, after completing the fifth row, you need to link another 6 c.s. The loop will come out of the third st. s / n, tied in an arch of 5 cp. Next, take the first half of the future ball, grab a similar third st. with / n and a connecting column we connect both halves. Now we sew 5 cp. and again draw 1 c.s. in the next third century. с / н of both halves. We thus transmit the whole circle.
Now you need to put a balloon inside. We inflate it so that it stretches the knitted billet. Threads must be tight.
The next step is to cover with PVA glue. If you do only a couple of balls, you can smear the thread with glue using a brush. In this case, a large number of future toys should be lowered into the adhesive solution completely. To do this, dilute the glue with water 2: 1. Now just immerse the balls in it, take it out and leave it to dry. It can take almost a day, please be patient.
To make the balls of thread form, you can alsouse starch paste. Prepare it very simply. Mix 3 teaspoons of starch with a glass of water (200 ml). Now it is necessary to bring the mixture to a boil, stirring.
When the blanks dry, the balls are blown off, you canuntie a knot or just pierce the ball with a needle. Now it remains only to attach the eyelet to the balls. Such crafts can be decorated with sequins or painted in gold or silver. The original open-work balls will be an excellent decoration of the interior and the New Year tree.

It will only be necessary:
- Old Christmas ball. One that you do not already hang as an ornament, for example, with peeling paint.
- Thick knitting threads.
- Wooden skewers or toothpicks.
