For the manufacture of such bulbs will require quite a bit of things, most of which can be found at home. The main thing that you need to buy is the common balloon, everything else you can find in your sewing box. Thread will suit absolutely any garment, nylon, cotton type "Iris" or "Snowflakes", embroidery thread and even yarn – stick, they're all equally good. The only important to follow them as they were tightly rolled and did not posiliti, otherwise the appearance of the product will deteriorate.

As for color, here can give scope to their imagination. By the way, if you can't find the thread the desired color, then draw a white ball, and then it always can be tinted, buying the spray paint.

The glue is also possible to use what you have at home: glue, stationery or even a paste. Sometimes to add balls hardness glue diluted with water and mixed with sugar or starch.

Prepare the following materials: thread iris white;

round balloon;

ribbons for decoration;

PVA glue;

a pair of scissors.

To start, blow up a balloon to required size, with a diameter of about 5-10 centimeters and firmly tie it with a thread.

On the resulting form will wind thread. And in order that they are well kept and preserved in the form they need to thoroughly spread the adhesive. Applied to a long string of glue is quite difficult and very easily soiled, so offer an easier and convenient way.

Take a long needle, pass it in the thread and pierce the needle the bottle of glue through. Pull the needle with thread through a bottle of PVA glue. The output you get enough-impregnated thread, which will only wound on a balloon.

Just a note, the needle should not be too small, otherwise the thread will not be able to get soaked, but should not be too large, so the glue does not leak through the hole. You will not go wrong if you choose a needle that is slightly thicker than thread.

Now attach the thread to the balloon and, holding its edge, begin to gradually wrap the ball in any direction, all the while pulling a thread soaked in glue. If you think the thread is dry, in the process, periodically press down lightly on the plastic bottle to have a larger amount of glue.

Continue wrapping the ball until the thread will remain large holes.

To the ball of yarn has dried, leave it for a few hours.

If you're planning to make several more balls, you better not get the thread from the jar with glue.

It will start to deflate and recede from the walls of a cotton ball. Carefully remove it through the hole between the thread and if it is not damaged, you can use it again.

It remains only to decorate the ball with the ribbon, carefully pull it between strands, and hang it on the tree. This toy looks very neat and original.

Like cotton balls can do all sizes and shapes, the main thing is to pick a balloon and decorate in all possible ways: fresh flowers and dried flowers, fabric, buboes, beads, coffee beans, sequins and satin ribbons.
