Craft with a balloon basket. Craft a balloon made of thread with a basket. Tools and materials

I present my author's master class - a balloon with a basket with my own hands. Such a composition will be a wonderful decoration of the room, or you can give it to someone as a keepsake. I will tell you step by step how to make it, and I will give a few ideas for decorating such crafts from the available materials at hand. We need any flowers from corrugated paper, artificial greenery, ribbon, penoplex, wire, decor and a simple balloon. You will find many of my MKs on this site.

How to make a balloon from threads?

1. Inflate the balloon.

2. We prepare a solution for threads: we take 50 ml of water and dilute 3 teaspoons of sugar in it, add PVA glue - the more the better.

3. And we begin to wrap our ball with threads over the entire area in a chaotic manner.

From foam we cut out a blank of this shape.

Tie with a thin ribbon and make a bow.

In three places, with the help of a wire, we connect a ball of glued threads and a foam basket. Decorate with flowers and greenery.

Our decorative balloon with a basket is ready!

I'll tell you how I made a "balloon" decoration out of a simple balloon, a basket-box and threads. Suitable for a wedding with an appropriate theme, a travel theme, like ours, as well as for any other, with a consistent concept.

Ideal beautiful picture looks like that:

Let's try to recreate something similar, but with our own hands.

I originally thought to put the resulting Balloons on the table, this is the reason for some of the design elements. It is also good to hang similar balloons, as in the photo above.

So, in general, we need

Balloon (preferably plain, classic or now fashionable round shape);
- a stick-holder for the ball (sold in stores for the holidays, as well as in toy stores, in the same place as themselves air balloons);
- a tip for the ball holder (they need two, on both ends of the stick);
- a basket of suitable size and shape (if there is a wicker basket - great, I didn’t find it, and I’ll tell you how I got out);
- jute, linen or cotton twine (for tying the basket);
- smooth, but not too thin threads for weaving a net on a ball (I took cotton threads for knitting);
- a small ring for the base of the grid (optional, it's just more convenient with it);
- glue;

and, if the resulting composition will be used together with floristry, like mine, then you will also need:
- a cup that fits snugly into the main basket (if the basket is made of permeable material, like mine, if the basket is plastic, an additional cup is not needed);
- floral sponge (in a glass);
- actual flowers.

For business!

The first thing I did was to find suitable baskets. Ideally, these should have been wicker baskets, but very tiny, and without a hint of a handle. I found only peat pots. They look like this:

Cut off the pot a little from above, if it is too big. Then we coat it with glue (you can not entirely, but only at the very bottom and at the end at the top). We wrap the pot tightly from the bottom to the top with twine.

Then we place inside a jar of a suitable size (in my case it is a jar of yogurt), and a stick-holder of a balloon with tips on both ends. If you use a floral sponge, then the bottom tip may not be useful, because. the holder simply sticks into the sponge, and thus will be securely fastened. To be sure, you can fasten everything with glue.

We inflate the balloon and fix it on the upper tip. It turned out the following:

In general, it looks like. The turn of the most important thing has come - the threads connecting the ball itself and the basket. Can be used satin ribbons, like here:

You can use thick threads arranged in the same way (I tried with the same twine, I will show this option as well). However, the network looks best, as in a real balloon. A diagram of a simple weaving of a mesh on a balloon is shown in the picture:

I used 8 threads and a fairly large mesh size. As it turned out, it is better to take 16 (or even 32) threads, and make the cell size a little smaller. I'll show you what happened. A little later I plan to edit the MK when an improved version appears.

We unwind the threads, 4 segments (or better, I repeat, 8 segments) of the same length, a little more than a couple of meters. We take a small ring for jewelry, and tie all the threads on it exactly in the center:

For the same size of the cell, we use a piece of cardboard, which we tie, taking it out later (this idea was spied on on a fishing forum). Well, if you initially start weaving on the ball itself, so that someone holds the ring in the center. It is quite inconvenient to weave such a mesh on your knee on your own:

After the second row, I moved the grid to the ball, and continued, increasing the size of the cell, already without any additional. fixtures.

As you can see from the photos, the ball expands quite quickly, and you need to significantly increase the size of the grid cells, otherwise they will be irregular in shape, too wide. Increasing the number of threads will just solve this problem. In general, when the net is already on the ball being tied, its shape is generated by itself.

We continue weaving, soon reaching the widest point of the ball or going quite a bit behind it. From this moment we release the threads down freely, to the basket itself.

Cut the threads to the desired length and fasten them to the edges of the basket inside (I have not done this yet). You can use glue, hooks, holes in the basket - as convenient.

You can leave the balloons as they are. In this case, you need to be especially careful with the upper edges of the basket (in this case, the finished wicker basket will come in handy), with its inside, as well as with the places where the threads are attached. Because it will all be visible. I propose to place flowers in the basket, thereby solving a number of problems:
- the whole composition looks more elegant;
- in one bottle we have both thematic and floral design, without overloading the space;
- the edges and the inside can be arbitrarily curved 😀, since under the head of flowers all these flaws will not be visible.

Actually, we stick suitable flowers and greenery into the floristic sponge, forming a composition. For training, I used the flowers that grew under the window (simply branches of cherry blossoms and some unknown flowers growing in the flower bed).

I show two options, described with a network, as well as with coarse twine.

Stylish toy - "Balloon"

We bring to your attention a small master class on creating a balloon toy. This Christmas tree toy is easy to make and looks quite creative.

To create a toy "Balloon" you will need:

Foam ball for base

Fabric as desired
- for decorating beads and beads
- decorative tape and rope

Stationery knife, scissors
- durable transparent adhesive
- decorative thick paper for the basket.

Stylish balloon toy step by step:

First of all, you need to mark the ball with a simple pencil into eight equal parts.

Along all the marked lines, you need to make cuts with a clerical knife. Slots should be made about 0.5 cm, continuously cutting each line around the circumference.

Place the cut piece of fabric inside out on the foam ball and use a knife to tuck the fabric into the cuts. It is more convenient to start from the center, gradually moving towards the poles of the ball. Turn the fabric inside out and tuck the other side of the slice.

Excess fabric must be carefully cut with sharp scissors, the rest should be tucked inside the incision with a knife.

Do the previous steps for each segment. After all the segments are covered with fabric, you will get a beautiful fabric ball, which in itself can be a great decoration.

Glue a decorative lace / rope to the ball.

The first two strips of rope should be glued perpendicular to each other, and their length should be slightly longer than the circumference of the ball, because. a basket will be attached to them.

The other two pieces of decorative string should match the circumference of the balloon and cover the remaining cuts. Attach a string to the top for hanging. Tie a ribbon and put on a decorative bead.

Decorate the ball at your discretion with beads and beads.

Make a basket out of decorative paper. You can make a simple square paper basket. To do this, cut the paper into thin strips (0.3-0.5 cm). Weave alternately several stripes. After weaving several strips - bend them up.

Also alternately weave the cooked "clamps". Weave 3-4 collars, forming a basket up. As soon as you are satisfied with the height, bend the ends of the strips, cut them evenly and glue them with clerical glue.

Glue the basket to the ropes. The balloon is ready!

This balloon can be used as Christmas toys, so as an element New Year's decor. Creating such balls in different color scheme, you can decorate the interior in the children's room, make a gift or a souvenir.

Such games are very important for the development of the child, and you can help him with this. It is not necessary to buy him expensive models of balloons. It will be much more fun for him to make such a craft on his own. Let's find out how you can make a balloon with a basket with your own hands. You can make it together - your kid will get a lot of positive emotions from the creative process, and then he will be able to play with the resulting toy.

Let's start creating

For the ball itself, you will need newspaper or other paper, just do not take thick paper. How to make a balloon with a basket?

1. Tear the paper into pieces and soak in a bowl of warm water.
2. Inflate a balloon of the size you need - it will be the base. Lubricate it with hand cream.
3. Lay a layer of wet newspaper without glue over the entire surface of the sphere so that there are no gaps. Just leave a small area free at the tail.
4. Coat the entire ball with glue and lay out another layer of paper.
5. Make 4 layers in this way.
6. Leave the base of the craft to dry in a warm place.
7. When the product is completely dry, it must be primed. To do this, mix gouache with glue and apply over the entire surface. Choose the color you like.
8. Now pierce the ball with a needle. From the inside, he will peel off and fall out.

Now you can color and decorate it as you wish.

Making a basket

What can you make a basket out of?

• You can make it out of a tea box. Cut off the lid and cover the box with colored paper.

Important! The inner surface, if desired, can also be pasted over or painted with paints.

• You can make an origami paper basket. To do this, cut a square out of paper, divide into 3 parts and fold. Divide and fold it on the other side in the same way. Now fold each of the corners diagonally and form a cube. Make holes in the corners of the basket and pull the tape diagonally through the two holes. Connect the other two holes with an X.

Important! For the free ends of the tape, the basket can be tied to the ball.

• Suitable plastic buckets can be used. And if you put small toys in them, then the craft will become even more realistic. And if you plant figurines of Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden in them, then such crafts will bring the atmosphere of a holiday into your house.

Light bulb balloon

We often throw away old and seemingly unnecessary things without thinking that they can be turned into something interesting. Here, for example, burnt out light bulbs. It turns out that you can make a craft balloon with a basket with your own hands from them. It is absolutely easy to do this - even a child can handle it under your strict guidance:

• Degrease an old burnt out light bulb.

Important! The more original it will be the form the better. You can degrease it with alcohol.

• Now it needs to be painted. Choose the color you like and decorate the light bulb.
• Use a cork as a basket, or make one out of paper.
• Glue the ropes to the basket. Their role will be played by thick threads. You can twist several threads together.
• Draw patterns on the light bulb and attach the basket.

Important! You can make a loop and stick it with superglue to hang your craft.

These are the ideas that will help you become the creator of a small, but real balloon. We wish you successful results of your creative work!

In our article you can find interesting crafts paper balloons for all occasions. For example, you have a celebration at home, and you need to decorate the apartment. DIY paper balls are a great and inexpensive option.

You can, of course, make a beautiful balloon using the origami technique, you can sew it from bright patches, but making a voluminous inflatable balloon that would depict a balloon model is perhaps easier and faster. You can download a ready-made stencil for cutting, or you can make it yourself to the required size.

All crafts of varying complexity from simple to unusual. Great job and good mood.

First option.

In our master class, we will analyze how to create your own hands holiday ball from paper. To do this, we need a piece of white and necessarily multi-colored paper, sharp scissors, glue.

• First step. First you need to print the template in duplicate (on white and multi-colored paper) using a printer.
• Second step. Then, of course, you need to cut templates and lay them out in the shape of a "sun".
• Third step. We glue the cut out circle in the middle, connecting all the rays in one place. Fourth step.
• Now let's move on to creating the ball. The color template is on white. Then we connect the white rays with the colored ones.
• Fifth step. After that, it should turn out so that the white rays will lie on top of the colored ones, now they must again be hidden under other rays.
• Sixth step. Such a beautiful ornament will turn out if you intertwine different rays.

Seventh step. At the end, we will attach the rays and fix them together at one point.

How to create a paper ball with your own hands, a master class

The second option for creating a ball - a reduced layout - with your own hands.

• Now we will analyze how to make a magnificent ball of different paper. For this we need three sheets different shade, circle template, pencil, sharp scissors. Cut out four identical circles one color, and do the same with other colors. You should end up with twelve circles of the same size.
• We add the circles in the order we need: two circles of the same color (for example, 2 blue), then we put two circles of a different color on them (for example, 2 pink), after that, for example, two blue, and repeat in the same order. Then we fold them in half. You can fold the thread in the middle if the ball should hang.
• Fasten the middle with a stapler in different places. Let's divide one semicircle into three uniform parts. On the upper 1/3 of the circle, apply glue diagonally.
• Then glue it with the next part. Then with a new semicircle, we will also divide it into three parts and apply glue already on the lower 1/3 part and connect it with another. And thus, with all the semicircles, alternating, gluing all sides. This is how easy it turned out to be a chic ball created by your own hands, which can be hung on Christmas tree or decorate your room with it.

Products in the form of a balloon, master class

Crafts in the form of balloons look very cute. They can be made from paper, felt and even light bulbs.

We often throw away unnecessary lamps, but we do it in vain, as beautiful crafts can be made from them.

Now we will figure out how to create balloons from different light bulbs.

For work, we will need the following materials:

• Unnecessary light bulbs.
• Paints for working with glass.
• Improvised materials for creating a basket.
• threads.

First, the light bulb must be degreased, so that the paint lays evenly. Let's cover the light bulb with the background.

While it is cooling, you can make a basket. From paper, from corks - what your imagination is capable of. We will attach ropes-threads of a certain size to the basket. When the background of our product dries, we need to finish the details. Let's connect the basket with the ball. You can make a loop on top of superglue or other glue to hang the ball.

Such balloons can also be created using knitting, stained glass windows and various improvised means.

Felt balloon.

Sew from felt air balloon quite simple, but it looks very beautiful and impressive.

To do this, we need pieces of felt, a pattern, cardboard to create a template, thread and cardboard for a basket, and, of course, sewing parts.

First, we will cut out 8 wedges according to the template, taking into account the allowance and one circle.

Then everything is simple: we will make wedges and a circle, turn the product inside out, stuff the ball with cotton wool, decorate with a basket and slings (threads).

The balloon is made of felt.

Decor with balloons.

Balloons have long been part of our lives. They decorate weddings and other celebrations, they are given. Even with the help of balloons, many make marriage proposals.

An unusual way to congratulate a person is quite simple. We need a big box wrapping, balloons, which are inflated with helium. It is desirable that there is a present at the bottom of the box. Such a surprise is created before the presentation. The required number of balloons is inflated and closed in a box. When the box is opened, the balloons take off!

Air paper balloons can be made by hand, both for launching and for decorating rooms in everyday life or for holidays. Conclusion. I hope, after our detailed article, you finally understood how to make balloons from different materials.
