And let's do needlework with you ... remember, we have already begun to get acquainted with? Let's move on to practice today and consider the technique of papier-mâché from threads. To begin with, let's figure out how to make a cocoon of threads and think about what application it can find ... there are quite a lot of different master classes on this topic on the Internet ... I will tell you my approach to this type of creativity.

So let's get started...

papier mache from threads - how to make a cocoon

In order to make a "cocoon" of threads using the papier-mâché technique, we need:

• balloon
• thread - ordinary sewing thread, but thick (it used to be marked as No. 10, now I don’t know ... preferably cotton, (it’s just better to impregnate cotton with glue), you can take thicker threads, you can even rope, but then a little the technology of lubricating it with glue will change. Today we will work with a simple thread. True, I used two threads of different thickness here (what were the remnants - they went into business)))
• needle - long
• glue. Here I want to say that I use OFFICE glue (silicate), and not white (pva). Why? Firstly, I was taught this way a long time ago))), and secondly (and this is the main reason) when cured, the stationery glue “glazes” and becomes very hard, unlike PVA, which is quite plastic and “soft”, like rubber , and when dry, it becomes like rubber ...

After we have prepared all the components, we proceed directly to creativity))) we thread the end of the thread from the coil (ball) into the needle and pierce the jar of glue,
pull the thread through the glue, remove the needle
Now we will wrap the ball with a thread, slowly pulling it through a jar of glue ... The thread itself will be smeared and saturated with glue)))
How many threads do you need? According to your taste and desire))) It took me about two coils ... When you decide that the thread is enough - just cut it off ... if it seems to you that there is not enough glue on the thread, then take a regular brush and go over the surface of the cocoon with glue, just don't overdo it ))).

And forget about the craft until tomorrow ... let it dry thoroughly)))
The cocoon has dried up ... it has become hard ... we take a needle and pierce the ball))). After that, we extract it from the cocoon ...
my ball was torn into two parts ... I just pulled the first one out by the “tail”, and in order to get the second one you need to or find a place where it’s enough large gap between the threads or just make a hole with scissors. This is the basis of most papier-mâché thread crafts. That's how they do it and any interior crafts, toys .... my imagination, today, was only enough for a vase))).

How to make a thread vase

We cut the cocoon into two unequal parts ... In principle, these details can already be adapted for a nest))) for ....
or shove it in there)))….

but we'll move on...

and glue these two parts together, only upside down))) Actually, in the papier-mâché technique of threads, it is supposed to sew the parts together with a thread, but in this case I need the fastening to be “hard”, so I used glue pistol... It turned out a vase of threads ...

I didn’t think of anything smarter than how to cover the resulting vase with spray paint ... In my opinion, it turned out quite badly)))

The approach of the New Year holidays makes us think about how to organize a worthy farewell to the old and the New Year. In our family, first of all, it was decided to update the outdated and no longer very attractive Christmas decorations, which, in fact, we did with our seven-year-old niece (so that we didn’t have to run around shops and markets in search of something new in the last hours of the outgoing year). We decided to make Christmas balls from our own hands.

We wanted to make them different ways. For one, we use the decoupage technique, for the second we use the trimming technique, and the third, made from the remnants of the “paper dough”, we simply wrap in a candy wrapper.
What we need to work:
To make balls:
old newspapers;
threads;
toilet paper;
paper table napkins;
PVA glue;
satin ribbon about 20 cm long - 3 pcs.
For decoupage:
white acrylic paint;
paper napkins with a pattern;
soft brush.
For trimming:
corrugated paper 2 colors;
candy wrappers;
glue stick;
stick for sushi;
scissors.

Operating procedure:
We make balls. We take 2 bowls. Tear toilet paper into one into small pieces, napkins into the second. Pour the contents of both containers with water and leave to soak.

In the meantime, we crumple newspaper sheets and roll 2 dense balls of different sizes out of them, wrap them with threads (so that they do not straighten). In the process of winding, we attach ribbons in the form of loops (for them we will hang ready-made toys on the Christmas tree).

We squeeze the soaked paper base for papier-mâché thoroughly and, pouring PVA glue, knead the “dough”.

Now we glue the newspaper blanks with the resulting adhesive mass, trying to form even balls. From the remnants of the "dough" we roll up a small lump - it will make the third toy. In this form, leave until completely dry (two days).

We make balls. We got 3 balls of different sizes. We will decorate the largest one using the "" technique. First, cover it with a layer of white acrylic paint and set aside to dry.

In the meantime, we take on a ball of a slightly smaller size - we will decorate it voluminous application from corrugated paper and candy wrappers, using the "facing" technique. We cut off strips about 1 cm wide from the “corrugated” rolls and cut them into squares. We do the same with wrappers.

We put the end of the sushi stick in the center of the paper blank and wrap a square around it. We get something like a tube.

We coat the end of the resulting figure with glue and glue it to the ball.

Thus, we make out the whole toy.

In the papier-mache style using threads, each craftswoman can create interesting crafts or amusing toy for your child and elements of stylish decor. In the article we will show master classes on making simple crafts.
