How to make a ball out of paper - DIY diagram. How to make a paper balloon Craft a paper balloon
We bring to your attention a new resourceful idea in the origami style. Little ones balloons made of paper will not only decorate your interior, a good gift but children will also really like it. Making them is so fun that you can easily do it together with the whole family.
What do we need to make paper balloons:
1. Select the material for the workpiece. Better fit whatman paper, since ordinary paper will not give beautiful shape, and the cardboard will not be convenient for subsequent work.
2. We draw the pattern presented in the figure below on the material for the product and cut it out.
3. Let's start working on the ball itself. We need two identical pieces, which we place one on top of the other and begin to weave. To prevent the paper from flying apart during the process, we use paper clips, as shown in the picture. For convenience, we finish the weaving with small tongs, and secure the ends to the middle with glue, creating a beautiful outline at the bottom of the ball.
4. Cut out all the parts of the basket, glue them together and attach them to the finished part.
5. At the end of the process, the origami masterpiece can be painted, it all depends on taste, or you can first use colored Whatman paper.
If you connect several balloons together using fishing line and small, decorative, round-shaped sticks, you will get an interesting hanging carousel.
Perfect for creating such balloons scrapbooking paper, a large selection of sets and a rich color scheme will make your aeronautical baskets unique.
Today we will show you how to make a balloon from colored paper with your own hands. You can creatively decorate the interior of a child’s room with these balls by attaching them to the ceiling using threads or thin fishing line. You can also make a children's mobile from them. You can attach paper balls to the frame using ordinary threads, thin satin ribbons or decorative laces. If you use ordinary threads or fishing line, then for a more decorative look, string several bright beads on them different sizes and shades.
So, to create a ball, let's prepare some materials:
- colored paper in two compatible shades, we chose brown and blue;
- cardboard of any color;
- glue stick;
- scissors;
- paper clips;
- pencil.
How to make a paper balloon
Step 1. First you need to create a template according to which we will cut out the main parts of the ball. To do this, we apply this outline on the back side of the cardboard. Then, side by side, draw another small circle. Carefully cut out both templates.
Step 2. Now their outline must be transferred to colored paper.
We trace the template with a pencil, and then cut out the first part of the ball. Create 11 more of these blanks. We also create a circle from colored paper to capture thin details.
Step 4. Create a ball basket from brown paper. We cut out the following blanks from it.
Step 5. Fold the brown twists as follows.
Apply glue to a small circle and glue it to the base of the workpiece.
Do the same manipulations with the blue coils.
Step 6. We combine the two parts together and begin weaving the ball.
We put turns of a blue shade under the brown ones. This is what should happen.
The top of the ball began to appear.
Step 8. Now we bring the brown turns to the top, then the blue ones again, etc. We must fix all intersections of strips with paper clips!
The ball will gradually take on the desired shape.
Step 9. Glue the last row of strips together and remove the paper clips. Now we bend the ends of the strips inside the ball.
The children and I recently made such a balloon and, hot on our heels, made MK for those who will like it.
The time to make it (with the parts cut out) is about an hour and a half, it all depends on skills and age. I did this for 7-8 year old children, they need the help of an adult.
You will need glue (PVA, stationary glue, Moment “Crystal” glues well, and in some cases a glue gun with hot glue helps a lot), 20 circles of paper, several strips of paper for a basket length = 4 x the length of the side of the basket (mine is 5 cm) + 1 cm for gluing and 1 cm wide, base for the basket (I have a 13x13 square of paper), ribbons, braid, at the end of production any decor - flowers, beads, rhinestones. Schemes for drawing circles and baskets are given at the end of the MK.
Let's start making a basket. We braid the edges of the basket with a paper strip in a checkerboard pattern. To prevent it from flying off, I secured it with a paper clip at the beginning, after weaving all the sides, we glue the tip of the strip (1 cm) to the wall of the basket and then in several places on each wall we glue the walls to this strip. Then repeat with the second strip.
We finish with the third strip, gluing all the protruding ends of the walls to the paper strip.
You can glue any braid, lace or ribbon to the edge. We take 4 wooden kebab sticks, wrap them with ribbon, fixing them with glue on the edges.
Let's start gluing the ball. Apply glue to the bent edge, fold two circles, matching the bent edges and fix it. In this way, we glue five circles so that the sharp vertices converge at one point. It turns out to be a hemisphere. Let's make another hemisphere. Then we glue a strip of 10 circles, directing the sharp vertices of the triangles alternately up and down.
We close the strip into a ring, gluing the outer circles, and then glue the hemisphere on top and bottom, folding the 5 remaining free edges of the hemisphere with the 5 edges of the strip.
This is what the ball looks like after gluing one hemisphere (photo above), then put on the top hemisphere and glue it. We get a ball.
Now assembly. Glue the skewers to the basket, fixing them with Moment or hot glue in the corners of the basket. The fastest way to glue the ball to the skewers is with a hot gun; we determine the gluing points by eye, leaving one of the tips at the top.
Then we start decorating - covering the places where the skewers are glued to the ball and the remaining holes in the places where the tops of the triangles are glued with bows or flowers or rhinestones; I glued a bead at the top. Add an inscription and flowers to the basket. The ball is ready. You can use it as a gift basket - put a small gift, candy or chocolate inside.
How to prepare circles for a ball. Here it is very important to make the correct markings for a neat appearance of the ball. Let's remember geometry and fit an equilateral triangle into a circle. How to do this: Draw a circle with a compass with a center at point O, take an arbitrary point D on the circle, measure the segment DO (the radius of the circle), plot the length of the radius from point D on both sides using a ruler so that the end of the segment lies on the circle (this will be points A and C) or draw a circle from point D with the same compass (that is, with the same radius), place points of intersection with the circle in both directions (we get points A and C). This will be one side of the triangle. Now from point C we draw a circle with a compass with a radius equal to the side of the triangle AC until it intersects with the circle (or we draw a line segment from point C equal to the side AC with a ruler, so that the end of the segment lies on the circle). This will be vertex B. Connect points A and B. My side of the triangle is 2.8 cm. We bend it up along the sides of the triangle. TO speed up the marking process, draw a triangle on one circle of thick paper, cut it out, then apply it to the circles (you can take one at a time or several at once, if the paper is not thick) and bend the edges of the circles, holding the triangle in the middle. Or we apply a triangle to each circle, trace it with a pencil and then fold it over. Or we take several circles, fold them into an even stack, put a circle with an inscribed triangle on top and at the vertices of the triangle with scissors we make small cuts all over the stack at once, and then fold the edges, guided by these cuts. This stage is the longest and most boring.

The ball is simple figure, which can be useful for any craft: making New Year's decorations, decor for a holiday and even for independent modeling of the globe. We will tell you how to make a paper ball with your own hands, based on several step by step instructions. Choose the one you need and get creative!
Making paper balls for decoration and decoration
When considering the topic of how to make an interesting three-dimensional paper ball, you probably thought about interior decoration. The ball does not have to be perfectly smooth. Let's look at a few
Volumetric ball of two colors
This ball model can be considered as a future Christmas tree toy. You can use different colors.
Execution process:
The ball is ready. For holiday decoration, we also recommend decorating the balloons using the decoupage technique. The technique is more complicated, but the result will be magnificent! We described the decoupage technique in
Delicate ball of napkins
This ball can decorate the interior; its decorative qualities are amazing. Before making such a paper ball, prepare:
- packaging of napkins;
- stapler;
- scissors;
- round stencil;
- thread and pencil.
I like to buy paper lanterns instead of pretentious chandeliers. Why? Firstly, they are inexpensive. Secondly, when they become dusty or torn, they can be replaced. Thirdly, they are easy to transform, if only you had paints, napkins and free time. I have long wanted to make a balloon, but then a suitable basket was found and the idea immediately matured.
For the balloon-shade we will need the simplest things:
paper lantern,
4 napkins with sunflowers,
broken basket without handle,
flower stickers,
scissors,
tassels,
paints,
PVA glue,
5–6 meters of cord,
balloon passengers and fantasy.
When I came across napkins with sunflowers in the store, I thought that they were very reminiscent of flames that burst out of a burner and inflate a balloon. The flashlight has been lying around for a long time, all that remains is to bring all the elements together. Cut out flower pieces of the desired size.
Now you need to remove three white paper layers from the napkin so that only the colored one remains.
We carefully place it on the bottom of the lamp and coat it with PVA glue. I dilute the glue with water in a 1:1 ratio to make it easier to apply. You can use undiluted, but then there is a high risk of tearing the napkin when spreading it over the surface. For this process you need to take a brush with soft bristles.
From pieces of napkin we gradually form our flame below.
We do this until we fill the circle completely. We try to distribute the napkins so that there are no unsightly gaps.
On top I decided to duplicate the same pattern for symmetry. Let it be the sun.
To make the sunflower fire look brighter and more complete, I painted the flames with red and yellow gouache.
Now we tie a cord to the basket, distributing its segments at equal distances inside the circle. Try to keep all the knots inside the basket. Each suspension takes about a meter of cord. You can additionally duplicate it with a cord around the lamp. It is very important to center the basket; this is one of the most difficult aspects of the job. Check it, it should hang evenly under the balloon. To make this process easier, you can look through the hole below. Through it you can clearly see where the center of the basket is. A real basket made of twigs is quite expensive; you can weave it from newspapers. Master classes on newspaper weaving can be easily found on the Internet.
In the finale, I decided to decorate the center of the paper lampshade with stripes of yellow-green gouache and flower-shaped stickers. Try to find stickers on thin paper so that they do not peel off from the tissue paper that covers the lampshade. Luminous phosphor-coated stickers also look very nice on such lamps. It turned out to be a real waltz of flowers.
