Needed for DIY decorations and decorations
But let’s see the material we need right away
- Polystyrene balls
- Felt tip pen
- Scissors
- Cutter
- Lime
- Twine (of various sizes)
- Baking paper
- Shabby Style Fabrics
- Wooden buttons
- Hot glue
Procedure to create Nordic style DIY Christmas balls
1. Cut the polystyrene ball with the cutter, dividing it into 4 wedges. The gap must be 1-2 cm deep.
2. With a baking paper, placed on the ball, and a felt-tip pen, we obtain the shape of the wedges, which we will need to cut out the fabrics. (It is important, in the end, to cut the edges of the template 1-2 cm larger, as you have to consider the fabric to be inserted in the slots).
4. Once the shape has been made, we place it on the chosen fabric and cut out the pieces of fabric.
A tip: stop the shape with a pin, it will be easier to proceed with the cutout.
Now that we have our 4 pieces of fabric we can proceed to the next step.
5. We lay the piece of fabric on the first segment and with the help of a nail file we insert the edges inside the slits.
6. We proceed by alternating the fabrics, as shown in the video below, with the same mechanism. Eventually we will have our ball covered entirely with fabric.
7. Now we cut 10 cm of string to make the hook. We introduce the button and make a knot with the two ends and insert the same inside one of the two ends of the ball, helping us with the file. We stop the thread with a drop of hot glue.
