How do beautiful balloons on the Christmas tree? Buy ordinary plastic round toys, a brush, acrylic materials: contours, paints in the store. And start implementing your bold ideas.

Applying swirls with acrylic paint using your fingers.

Apply a few drops of acrylic paint of different colors to the surface of the ball. Use your finger to smear it in a circular motion. It should look like curls. First make a pattern on the first half of the ball and let it dry. Finish painting on the other side.

A beautiful pattern on New Year's balls with a hard brush.

Dip the tips of a hard brush into the paint. Pinch the bristles with your fingers closer to the ends, flattening the brush itself a little. This method will increase the captured area when applying strokes. Run the brush over the ball using rough strokes.

The most effective combination is when strokes of gold or silver paint are attractively drawn on a dark ball.

Painting a ball using a sponge stencil.

First you need to make a stencil from a sponge. Cut it into any shape, dip it in gold or silver acrylic paint. Now stamp it (place stamps) on the surface of the ball. Decorate the entire ball.

If you use two colors, you can make a small overlap of one stencil on the other. Leave the ball to dry. Apply a random pattern using an acrylic outline.

Decorating a New Year's ball with acrylic relief (volumetric) paste.

An ordinary ball can be decorated with relief paste. This is done very simply. Using your fingers, apply the voluminous paste to the top of the ball, where the loop would normally be located. Apply the paste to form a mound. Leave to dry. Once the paste hardens, paint with an acrylic outline, applying any pattern.

If you are not satisfied with the white color of the paste, then you can color it with a different color of paint (necessarily acrylic). By adding blue or cyan paint, you will get the snow effect like on old postcards.

Decorate the balls with acrylic contour paint.

Acrylic contours are a godsend for quickly and easily decorating New Year's balls. They apply inscriptions and any patterns. The thickness of the contour depends on the spout in the tube, and it varies and depends on the manufacturer. Contour painting can be combined with other techniques for decorating Christmas tree balls.

Using acrylic paints, contours, paste, you can easily create beautiful New Year's balls. The painting on your balloons will be unique, because each of them is unique. You can make a personalized balloon by writing the name of the future owner on it. Anyone will like this gift. Make the New Year unforgettable for your friends!

New Years is soon! We invite you to learn how to paint Christmas tree balls yourself. After all, there is nothing better than exclusive hand-painted Christmas tree decorations!

For this you will need:

acrylic paint for glass and ceramics “Decola”, acrylic primer, contours on glass or fabric “Decola”, thin brushes, sponge, a little skill in painting with paints.

Let's take a Christmas ball without a pattern.

Then, using a sponge, apply white acrylic paint (or acrylic primer) to the entire ball using gentle tamponing movements.

Hang the painted ball to dry. Acrylic paints dry quickly, so within an hour and a half our ball is ready for painting.

If the acrylic coating turns out to be transparent, coat the ball with white acrylic paint twice.

So, the ball is ready for painting. Let's draw a design on the ball with a simple pencil. Pencil marks are clearly visible on the white acrylic coating. You can take the drawing from any postcard, napkin, or come up with it yourself. I draw a funny snowman in a hat near the Christmas trees. I saw the drawing on a napkin and I really liked it!

After the outline of the drawing is drawn in pencil, we begin to color the drawing using acrylic contours on the glass. The contours on the fabric also fit very well on the glass.

The outline on glass or fabric can be used with or without a nozzle (then acrylic paint from a tube can be applied with a brush). I outline the design on the glass with a nozzle and fill the outlined space with the same acrylic paint using a brush. Acrylic paints can be mixed on a palette or in a small jar, or diluted with water.

So, using a brush, I filled the snowman's hat and mittens with red acrylic paint, and yellow - the bow. While the paint on the snowman’s hat and mittens is drying, I outline the Christmas trees with a green outline with a nozzle. Now I paint the branches of the fir trees with a thin brush.

We apply the paint gradually, filling the fields of the same color or shade. For example, while I am painting fir trees, the rest of the painted fields are drying.

I will paint snowballs on the Christmas trees with white acrylic, and Christmas tree decorations with red acrylic.

I will paint shadows on the snowman and fir trees with a brush, mixing blue and white paint. I’ll finish using black acrylic to trace the outline of the snowman with a brush and draw the “face.”

The finishing touches remain and the snowman is ready. Try, fantasize and don’t be afraid to ruin anything, because painting with acrylic paints can fix everything!

Painting a Christmas ball - New Year's house

The most popular New Year's decorations are, of course, colorful balls! Today we will tell you how you can decorate balloons... from the inside! Yes, yes, you can paint the balls not only on the outside, but the effect will be very unusual! Such homemade Christmas tree decorations can also be an excellent gift for the New Year.

For work we will need:

transparent Christmas balls;
multi-colored acrylic paint or nail polish;
plastic bottle or cup;
decorative powder, glitter.

Step 1

The easiest way to paint the inside of a ball is to drop a little paint into it.

Slowly roll the ball from side to side until its walls are covered with paint. You can leave part of the ball transparent - you get a wave-like pattern.

Step 2

In order for the ball to dry, carefully turn it over and secure the glass tip to a plastic bottle or glass. The ball should dry upside down so that any excess paint can flow out.

Step 3

When the ball is dry, attach the metal “cap” and your decoration is ready! Due to the fact that the ball is painted from the inside, it has an even, glossy color. If you wish, you can use acrylic paints to paint a design on the outside of the ball, or leave it plain.

Some tips:

Don't pour too much paint into the ball. It is better to use a little at first, and add a little more if necessary;
The more paint you use, the longer it will take for the ball to dry. In any case, you need to leave it to dry for at least 24 hours;
If you have used too much paint, turn the ball over and try to remove the excess with a paper towel. Once the paint dries, this will be more difficult to do.

Step 4
If you have a special decorative powder, it can be used to make the color of the ball more voluminous, reminiscent of cotton candy.

In order to achieve the desired effect, you must first coat the ball with paint as described at the beginning of the article. After the walls of the ball are painted, turn it over and hold for 15 minutes. The paint should dry out a little, but remain sticky. Now apply decorative powder to it with a brush. If you don't have one, you can use glitter.

Experiment with paints, varnishes and glitter to create Christmas balls in a variety of colors! Even not too bright shades will look great.

Factory-made Christmas tree decorations are found in almost every home. They are certainly very beautiful and, when combined well with other decorations in the house, can cause a decent aesthetic effect. But just buying New Year's balls is boring. Uniqueness can only be achieved by decorating New Year's balls with your own hands.

Christmas balls made of threads

The method of making balls from threads has long been used. The products are spectacular and lend themselves to additional decoration. It is possible to vary the size.
To make it you will need: threads (with a large percentage of natural fibers in the composition for good impregnation with glue), PVA glue, a disposable glass, round balloons.

Manufacturing stages:
Prepare glue for work. Dilute very thick mixture to the consistency of sour cream.
Soak 1 meter pieces of thread in glue.
Wrap using the “gossamer” method so that the free holes do not exceed a diameter of 1 cm.
Allow the glue to dry (12 to 24 hours).
Remove the ball from the product by carefully bursting it and removing it through the hole of the ball.
Decorate the product. For this they use: glitter, paper cuttings of various shapes, sequins, beads, semi-beads, etc. Products made from threads can also be painted with paint from a can or acrylic. Watercolor and gouache are not suitable, as they can soak the product and lead to its spoiled appearance.

Having made New Year's balls of different diameters, you can decorate any corner of the house with them: a Christmas tree, candlesticks, compositions in a vase, on a windowsill, etc. Balloon decor can be done like this: place a light garland on a tray and place items of different sizes but the same color on top. When the garland is turned on, they will be illuminated and create an interesting effect.

From beads

Balls made of beads will look very beautiful and impressive on the Christmas tree. In this case, the foam spheres of the blanks will be decorated. In addition to the foam blank, you will need beads, pins (sewing needles with heads like those on nails), and ribbon.

The manufacturing method is very simple:

Thread one bead onto one pin.
Attach a pin to the foam base.
Repeat until there is no free space left on the base.
At the end, attach a ribbon loop for hanging the decoration.

It is advisable to take beads of the same size to avoid empty spaces on the base. The color scheme is chosen both in one tone and in different ones. It all depends on individual preferences and the overall style of decorating the room.
Instead of a foam base, you can use plastic factory balls. Only in this case the beads will be attached not with pins, but with hot-melt glue.

From buttons

Balls made of buttons will look no less original and unique on the Christmas tree. Old unnecessary buttons do not have to be selected in the same color scheme. After all, you can always repaint them and achieve the desired shade. They look impressive in gold, bronze, silver shades, as well as all colors with metallic coating.

To make this decor for New Year's balls, you will need: buttons (can be with through fastening or hidden), hot melt adhesive, foam or plastic blank, ribbon.

Apply a small amount of hot glue to the inside of the button.
Attach the button to the base.
Carry out the steps in step 2 until the entire surface is covered with buttons.
Attach a ribbon so that the ball can be hung.

When placing them on the tree, you need to make sure that there are not too many of them concentrated in one place. It is better to dilute such decorations with others.

From paper

Original New Year's balls can be made simply from paper, without using any base.

Ball of colored paper

To do this you will need thick (approximately 120 g/m2) paper, scissors, pins, and tape. Making the blank yourself is very simple.

Cut 12 strips of paper measuring 15 mm x 100 mm
Fasten all the strips on one side and the other with pins, retreating from the edge by 5-10 mm.
Spread the strips in a circle, forming a sphere.
Attach the ribbon to the base of the ball.

The strips can be cut not straight, but with other uneven lines. You can use curly scissors.

Corrugated paper

Corrugated paper will also come in handy. Pom-pom balls are created from it. For this you will need: corrugated paper, glue, scissors, tape.

If the paper is new and packaged, then measure 5 cm from the edge and cut it off. Then measure 5 cm again and cut off.
Cut two blanks into a “scallop” with an interval of strips of 1 cm without cutting to the base 1.5 cm.
Unravel one piece and begin to twist it into a “flower” in a circle, gradually gluing it together. You will get a fluffy pompom. Repeat the same steps with the second workpiece.
Connect two pompom blanks with glue at the gluing site. You will get a fluffy ball. Attach a loop tape to the gluing area. Fluff the resulting pompom.

Made from double-sided colored paper

You can also make a ball from double-sided colored paper. To do this you need: colored paper, scissors, glue, a round object (a cup, for example), tape.

Trace the cup on paper 8 times. You will get 8 equal circles. Cut them out.
Fold each circle into quarters.
Cut an additional circle with a smaller diameter.
Glue the blanks to it with the corners to the center on one side (4 pieces will fit), and on the other side the same.
Open each fold and glue it together at the joint. You will get a ball with “petals”.
Attach the ribbon.

Paper balls, as a rule, do not last long and are used for one season. You shouldn’t place them in large numbers on the tree; it’s better to “dilute” them with other decorations.

From fabric

If you have an old blouse in your closet that you hate to throw away, then not recycling it was the right decision. You can make a cute Christmas tree toy from it. For production you need: knitted fabric, scissors, sewing needle and thread, cardboard, tape.

Cut the longest strips of fabric 1 cm wide. Stretch each strip so that it curls the edges.
Cut cardboard measuring 10 cm x 20 cm.
Wind the resulting strips onto the cardboard along the width.
In the center on one side and the other, connect the strips with a needle and thread. Pull out the cardboard.
Cut the resulting loops along the edges.
Fluff and attach the ribbon.

There is another method that involves decorating a foam or plastic blank with fabric. You need any fabric (can be of different colors), hot glue, scissors.

Cut the fabric into rectangular pieces measuring 3 cm x 4 cm.
Fold them like this: fold the two top corners towards the center of the bottom.
Glue to the workpiece in rows, with curves inward, starting from the bottom.
Cover the entire ball. Attach the ribbon.

Fabric appliqués can be made in a variety of ways, using additional improvised means - beads, braid, rhinestones, ribbon.

With embroidery

Decorating New Year's balls with your own hands is also possible in this way. Decorating Christmas tree decorations with embroidery has become a new trend. To do this, use a pre-embroidered image. You also need fabric, a piece of foam or plastic, and hot glue.

Attach the embroidered image using glue.
Decorate the remaining area of the ball with a fabric appliqué.

Instead of appliques, you can use the same fabric on which the embroidery was made. Alternatively, you can make a pattern from fabric, where one of the parts will be embroidery. You can also decorate each part of the pattern with separate embroidered images and secure them. After these steps, you can additionally add beads, rhinestones, sparkles, and sequins as decoration.

With filling

Such specimens will look spectacular both on the Christmas tree and as part of balloon compositions. To make unusual balls, you need to stock up on transparent plastic blanks.

By opening the cap holder, you can create various compositions inside:

Pour acrylic paint of different colors inside, shake the ball so that all the inner walls are painted, and let dry. The pigment will color the inside of the workpiece and it will acquire a unique color.
Fill the inside with small colored feathers and beads.
You can also pour confetti of different colors inside.
Pieces of old tinsel are used for filling.

Favorite photos are also placed inside. To do this, you need to twist a small photo into a tube (look at the diameter of the ball) and straighten it inside. Add confetti or sequins.
The interior is filled with colored cotton wool and complemented with beads. You can choose different colors. It is better to paint with acrylic paint. Fill after the cotton wool has completely dried.
Multi-colored sisal can be placed inside and enjoy the color and originality of the decoration.

Fantasies about filling a transparent ball can be different. They all relate to personal preferences and mood during needlework.
