For owners of small apartments and great imagination.
Perhaps this is the most "female" from master classes dedicated to the manufacture of a Christmas tree from the balls. There is no absolutely no construction tool - only a set that is in the arsenal of any respected seamstress. The solution for owners of small-sized apartments and adherents of minimalism: We offer to independently make an unusual air tank-decoration. So, in this material you will learn how to make a Christmas tree from the balls with your own hands.
Materials and tools
- Flash with clip.
- The cloth.
- Compass.
- Leske.
- Soft meter or roulette.
- Needle and beads.
- Christmas balls.
Step 1. Decide
First you have to deal with the dimensions and the necessary number of Christmas balls. For this, it is enough just to decompose them on the floor or on the table.
I initially decided that I want a Christmas tree with a height of 120 cm (not counting 20 cm to the base) and with an indent of 20 cm between each nearby. At the same time, to obtain a fairly elegant form, I took the chamber of not a very large circle (30 cm), which became the maximum diameter.
Next, I stopped at six circumference, while on each of them the number of balls increased by two. As a result, I needed 49 balls, considering the central: it turned out the high height tree and not very dense - it is definitely worth experimenting and deciding which dimensions are best fit in your room.
Step 2. Prepare the database
As a base to which the air chill is attached, I used the fabric, tightly stretched between the hoop, is the most visual and economical way. It is possible, however, to find other options - a metal lattice for a barbecue, a flat sieve without a handle or something else suitable.
If you go to my way, try to find the most elegant and more tight fabric.
Stopping it as much as possible, find the center of the circle and mark the planned number of circles using a circulation. Keep in mind that when the base is suspended, the marks should look into the ceiling, and, accordingly, be on the back of the stretched fabric.
Step 3. Determine the design of the future Christmas tree
Perhaps several options.
- Christmas tree "Levels". In this case, each new series of balls is hanging exactly, at a certain distance from the past.
- Christmas tree spiral. Here, inside each row between the balls there is an indent, while they are hanging consistently in a circle.
- Classical Christmas tree - as much as possible in shape on the present, where the balls are at different heights.
I hung the balls on the loop, slicing twice the line and folding it twice, due to which I had only one nodule for every hung ball - from above in the database, which made the Christmas tree carefully (the fishing line does not stick out anywhere), and work is easier (Knit extra nodules from almost transparent dense thread - occupation only for the most patient).
To speed up the dieter process, you can collect a simple device from the office clamp attached to the surface, and a soft meter.
At attaching the ball on the fishing line, thread the second tip in the needle and skip the base through the fabric. Now the beerinka is put on it and tie the knot.
First, the subtle nodule, tied out of alternation alone, can easily fall out of insufficiently dense tissue, for example, flax, as in my case.
Secondly, it will be much easier to make changes to the already assembled Christmas tree. Surely, finished, you want to pull on or swap or swap. With beads do not have to look for the right ball blindly.
Christmas tree from the balls is ready!
Tip: It is best to immediately collect a Christmas tree in the place where she will hang, and do not wear it ready, so that the fishing line is not filled (and they do it quickly and ruthlessly). So this version of the tree is not suitable for premises with curious animals, children, it will not be able to mount at the balcony door. If possible, attach the base to the place as soon as you pull the fabric on the chamber (step 2).
