Magic balls
The art of turning balls into various elements is called "aero design." The most interesting figures are made from balls: flowers, animals, fairy-tale characters.
Multi-colored animals from balls perfectly serve as decoration of a festive room and entertainment for children. They are suitable for a private apartment, kindergarten, school or amusement park. Of them create: hearts, flowers, birds, animals, trees.
Important Tips
Narrow long balls are high-quality, beautiful and the most suitable material for creating funny, airy toys. To make such a product under the power of everyone. The main thing is to purchase the necessary equipment and act according to the scheme.
You must follow the general principles and tips for the invention of figures and animals from balls:
- Do not buy cheap balls. The disappointment from a spoiled craft and a bursting ball will be more than from the money spent.
- To inflate the balls you need to use a hand pump.
- You should not inflate the ball very much, since with further exposure and twisting it can burst. It is better to leave a small "tail" with a margin of 5 cm.
- You need to twist the figure strictly in one direction. If you twist the ball in different directions, the form will not be durable and threatens to deteriorate soon.
- When inflating the ball, knot its tip. Do not use threads.
Ballooning Method
There are two options for how to inflate balls: manual and pumping:
- In the first method, the ball must be preheated. To do this, rub it in the palms, stretching the edges to the sides, until the surface finds a warm temperature.
- Inflate the ball in parts. Hands gently grab the ball, moving to the second edge in the process of inflation. Leave a non-inflated tip in the amount of 8-10 cm.
- When inflating the ball with a manual or special pump, preparatory actions are done with heating the material.
- The edges of the ball are neatly and tightly held by the pump and slowly filled with air. We must not forget about the need for an "extra" tip.
If there is too little area left to garter the ball, let some air out and tie up the workpiece.
Get down to business
It is not so difficult to make animals from balls, like those that are on sale at the entrance to the park in the summer. Bright and amusing plants, animals and other interesting figures can become the personal property of everyone. At first glance, such blanks seem very complicated, but practice and zeal will help you easily create masterpieces and animals from balls.
Following the detailed instructions, try to build a "dog":
- Inflate the ball of the selected color, leaving the stock to allow 10-15 cm.
- Having tied a knot at the end of the ball, we get a "nose" for our husky. We spin the ball three times in a row: once we make a big "bubble" - this is the head of the dog, the second two small ones - on the "bubble" in the form of ears.
- The next small section will be the neck of the dog.
- The oblong part will serve as the body of the "doggie", at the end of which twist the legs, in the form of two sausages. Do not forget to make the front legs in this way. At the end of the body with a round “donut” or “sausage”, depict the tail of a four-legged friend.
The faithful friend is ready.
For the manufacture of other animals, you can use this master class or the presented scheme.
Animals from balls of "sausages" are obtained very quickly and easily when the technique of their assembly is studied. This interesting activity will help to create funny figures and a good mood for children.
