Want original and inexpensive Christmas balls?

The Christmas balls on sale in supermarkets are all really pretty, but too expensive for a small budget.

Because Christmas is the price of the Christmas tree, decorations, string lights and above all gifts, not to mention the New Year's Eve meal ...

So I found a trick to easily make beautiful and economical Christmas balls at home: the spider web effect Christmas balls!

I show you how I make great Christmas balls in 10 min.

To give you an idea of ​​the result, imagine an empty ball of white thread inside, therefore transparent. The threads form a ball and give the impression of a spider's web.

What you need

- ofwool yarn in the color of your choice

- glue

- aballoon

- ribbons or thread (to hang the balls on the tree)

How to do

1. Blow up a balloon the size of a Christmas ball.

2. Take the woolen thread.

3. Cut 40 to 50 cm.

4. Dip it in the glue.

5. Wrap the yarn around the ball in all directions to form a ball of yarn.

6. Once the glue has dried, pierce the balloon.

7. Remove the plastic pieces from the balloon.

8. Hang a ribbon on the ball.

Results

And there you have it, you made a beautiful Christmas ball easily and in a few minutes :-)

Bonus tip

If you decide to add an object to it, the best is still to slip it inside the balloon. It will remain trapped in its wire web once the balloon bursts.

You can alsoadd glitter on the thread for a more magical effect. To do this, pour glitter directly into the glue in which you soak the yarn before wrapping it around the balloon.

A playful Christmas sewn with white thread

Once the glue has dried and the balloon pierced, the result is great: it reveals a transparent ball of threads.

These yarn Christmas balls are simply very chic, with pretty ribbons to hang them on the tree.

The sheer effect gives a light look and almost as refined as lace.

And your little ones will be delighted to discover themselves artists at heart with such creations! Merry Christmas to everyone !

Savings made

Let's say if I want cute Christmas balls, I must at least count 1 € per scoop, and much more if they are sold individually. And the price can quickly increase.

A pretty painted or glittery ball can cost up to 8 €, I don't know what you think about it, but me, it chills my back!

Plus the electric garlands, the wreath to hang on the front door, the garlands to hang on the tree ... what a ruin!

By making my own Christmas balls, I offer a fun activity to the children and I keep my money to make them nice gifts.

And that's the main thing, isn't it?
