How to make a ball on the Christmas tree of ribbons?
Over the past few years, new handmade art, kanzashi, has come into vogue. This technique involves the use of satin ribbons, patches of fabric for the manufacture of various handicrafts. The kanzashi Christmas ball is an elegant and stylish toy that brightly decorates the Christmas tree. To many, this technique seems to be difficult, but by choosing an easy master class, you can create a masterpiece on your own.
For work, you will need a foam ball with a diameter of 7 cm, and satin ribbons cut into pieces are also needed. The size and number of ribbons is the following: a light satin lilac ribbon 2.5 cm wide — 5 cm long pieces 40 pieces;2.5 cm wide purple ribbon - 5 cm pieces of 40 pieces. You will also need 1 square of purple ribbon 5 cm. In the shop of needlework or stationery you need to purchase small pins-nails.
The process of making a kanzashi Christmas ball looks like this:
- Take a square purple ribbon and pin it with a pin in the center of the ball.
- Now we proceed to the formation of the product: we bend the corners of each segment inward to form an isosceles triangle.
- Apply 4 triangles of purple ribbon top to the center, around the square. Every detail should be fastened with studs on both sides.
- Crafting a Christmas tree ball begins to acquire its original shape when the layers of colors alternate: it is necessary to decorate the entire foam base, changing colors one after another.
- When the entire billet is filled, it is necessary to attach a loop for the Christmas tree. To do this, take a 20 cm thin ribbon and glue it to the ball with hot melt.
In order to make the finished craftwork look more like a lump, you can take brown shades of ribbons and make a loop from a green ribbon.
Even a child can make handmade Christmas balls using kanzashi technique. Products turn out bright, original and at the same time gentle.

The essence of the technique consists in the preliminary drawing of a sketch on a toy and its further coloring.
For work, you will need the ball itself - it is better to take plastic versions of suitable color, thin brushes and acrylic paints. If you already have experience in this technique, instead of paints you can use ready-made acrylic contours with nozzles.
Since the handicraft is timed to the New Year, it is better for her to choose a thematic drawing. These can be images of birds, festive candles and wreaths, bears, deer, characters from a fairy tale.
Having prepared all the materials, you can start painting the Christmas-tree balls with your own hands:
- In this master class, we will focus on the winter landscape. To begin with, the base is primed — a light blue background is used for this, as a symbol of a snowy winter. Having issued a background, it is necessary to wait 10 minutes for it to dry.
- Using brown color, draw a house, tree trunks.
- Green acrylic we make out thick branches of Christmas trees.
- Yellow color is necessary for drawing light in the windows of the house.

Making the ball in the eco-style
This stylistic direction led to the fashion for natural raw materials. Ecostyle dictates to the master the choice of exclusively natural materials. The following materials are needed for the work:
- twine or twine;

When the entire workpiece is framed, the tip of the twine is beautifully masked. Next, take white lace, measure the circumference of the ball and cut off the required amount of decor. Lace glued to the surface, make half beads. At the end of the manufacture of the Christmas-tree ball with your own hands, it is necessary to attach a loop of twine.

Paper printing on Christmas balls is better to produce it on a laser printer, so that the color of the photo does not change. The cut pictures must be turned over and wet hands try to remove the paper layer. After that, the photo is glued to the workpiece, applying glue from the center to the edges so that folds do not form. The decor is made at your discretion.
- A simple option. This technique is to use a transparent blank, divided into two parts. All that is required is to cut the image nicely in a circle and insert it into the blank. Christmas balls with a photo are ready, it remains only to tie a loop.
