Crafts "Balloon"

Such a bright craft as a balloon can make a wonderful duet for dolls if it is planned to create an amusement park for them, or if it becomes an independent decorative object. Wanting to make a bright decoration for a children's bedroom with your own hands, any materials are used: colored paper, plasticine, balloons and so on. The option with balls, of course, is not the most reliable: they will blow away or burst. We suggest using more reliable options: making a balloon from fabric or paper. And when you create you will be accompanied by detailed instructions and photographs.

To create an original ball with a basket, where passengers usually sit, you need only 2 colors of colored paper: blue and orange (you can use other colors if you wish). A voluminous craft for children turns out to be incredibly colorful, and it will take a minimum of time to make it.

To craft a balloon, you will need:

• a set of paper clips;
• scissors;
• glue stick;
• colored paper (cardboard is best).

Stages of work.

1. Any color of the ball will do, but orange and blue were used in the master class - the combination is very colorful and interesting.
2. From each leaf we cut out such blanks for the base of the ball and basket (as shown in the picture).
3. Having connected them, we proceed to the formation of the ball.
4. We bring the ends of the lower figure up. When the craft looks exactly like in the photo, you can proceed to the next step.
5. In the same way, we create the 2nd row of the ball, bringing out the strips of the upper blank.
6. When creating the 3rd row, we tighten the stripes a little, which will help the workpiece to acquire a rounded shape. We fasten all the ends with paper clips.
7. Step by step, the ball will begin to take on an increasingly attractive shape.
8. We weave the ball in this way to the very end (do not forget to tighten each row and secure with paper clips).
9. The result will be a ball, to which it remains only to add a basket, but first fix the bottom with glue. We apply glue to the tip of each strip, and then glue them to the bottom part. When the glue “grasps” carefully remove all the clips.
10. Now we cut out the details for the basket from blue paper, as shown in the photo.
11. We take a ring with stripes and bend them to the side, having previously connected it with glue.
12. Apply glue to the inner side of the wheel and connect it to the ball.
13. While the glue dries, let's take care of the basket. Bend the edges along the notches at the bottom of the basket.
14. Putting glue on the edges and the side, we connect the parts.
15. Now we connect the basket with the balloon, fixing the strips with glue.

A handmade ball made of fabric looks no less interesting than paper, and is made in a short time. Prepare an attractive ironed fabric, plus:

• needle and thread;
• filler (any);
• glue gun;
• miniature basket;
• decorative ornaments (optional).

Stages of work.

1. We cut out 6 identical shapes from the fabric, 6 cm wide and 20 cm long. In appearance, they should resemble petals. Do not forget to leave seam allowances (2 cm is enough).
2. We sew all the petals together, but do not touch the bottom.
3. After all the parts are sewn, we turn the blank out with the front side, and place the filler inside (sintepon, for example).
4. We cut out a circle from the fabric, and sew the bottom with it after we have filled the ball. To make the bottom look more attractive, you can tie it with a ribbon.
5. We take 4 ropes (or laces), and we stick a thin wire into them. We glue them to the ball at the seams, as shown in the photo.
6. We attach the racks to the inside of the basket with hot glue.
7. As a decoration, you can use beads, buttons, beads and more. If you don't know where to get a basket, make one yourself out of cardboard. In general, dolls holding flowers in their hands can have such a basket.

The ball is ready, now you can send your dolls on an unforgettable flight!

The character of a balloon can be different: you can make a craft in the Halloween style or add a festive motive to it. The easiest option is paper. You can give the ball some shape, for example, make horns, and even draw a muzzle (the devil for Halloween). It all depends on what your imagination is capable of.

A very simple craft - fastening the circles together (remember how children make Christmas tree decorations out of paper for the New Year), but in this case, you will also need to draw a basket. Subsequently, only the thread is attached, and the craft can be hung. The ball can be made of paper from popcorn - it will look very interesting.

And also the balloon will look beautiful from papier-mâché or unnecessary newspapers. To give the ball a quirkiness, you can use bright fabrics: with flowers or funny cartoon characters. If you know how to knit - great!

There are a lot of ideas for creating a balloon, you just have to choose and start tinkering with your child. Since such a craft is not very easy, it is better to be with the child and control the process. Where it is necessary to sew parts, insert wire, the help of mom or dad will be needed, since the child can be pricked. Take the ideas described in the article and get creative with your health!
