Hello, I'm here again, I'm Claudia from Ideas para Regalos blog, the blog of hazregalos.com
Today I've come with another ornament for our Christmas tree. It's made with a special thread.
As you see, once made, we have painted it with gold spray.
And I've put glitter in this one, so you can see the difference.
Maybe in the video it's difficult to notice because I have put little. Personally I like it to stay on a copper tone.
Let's see then how to do it, but let see first the materials.
We need the thread. As I said before is incisal thread or pita thread. You can get it at any hardware store.
We also need the gold or copper spray, whatever you want.
We are needing some glue. This is white carpenter's glue, or the normal one to use at school.
A tiny balloon.
To hang it I bought this cord, but the cord can be the one that I have taught you in other videos. And the glitter.
These are the materials we use to make this Christmas ornament.
Let's start.
First we need to put something in the workplace because we're going to let it dirty
We are going to inflate the balloon, here is it, of the size that you want to make the ornaments. It can be larger or smaller.
And we place in a container the queue, more or less a tail portion and two water. So you're getting something like this.
So now we're going to get enough thread. so as to cover it as I showed you in this one over.
It is preferable that you pass in quantity, to be missing after.
There is another way to do it, you don't mess much, but it isn't so good.I tested both, and I advise this. Although your mess yourself, it is the best.
What we are going to do is put the thread in the queue. And we have to get it to soak.
Do not cut it, as you see, it's still attached to the roll of thread, because if you need more, then you're always in time to catch more.
We soaked it well.
Let's see if we can find the tip. There it is. We leave it there, soaking it.
We took the globe, let's start from the top and we started to roll it this way. First, I roll it over the globe.
If you see that the balloon it's like oval, then you can go tightening it.
Now you're passing it where you want to put it. The idea is that they have hollows, like you saw does not have to be the thread everywhere.
You go a bit up, a bit down. We try to use all the thread that we have taken.
When you see this as more or less want to, stop. I'll make one pass more.
If you see that you need more thread, you have it there because we have not cuted it.
It always end it up. We cut it. And we will try to tie it. There it is.
This should now allow to dry for at least a day. What I do is tie a thread here, and leave it hanging in a place that does not stain.
So perfect dried. So let's leave it to dry.
Well, here we are. Look at what's left after a day, it's harder now.
As I said I put the thread to it and hung it to dry. Note that simple. With a pin prick the balloon, and then take it out.
You can help of the pin for this.
We got ready. Now we have two options: So, you can leave this in natural color, the color of the thread.
You can also use a thick cotton thread, then you'll have it white.
If you like rustic, for example I have some ornaments in this tone, you can use it in this way.
Or else, you can spray paint, I used the copper color that is bright as can you see.
You can also use gold or silver, according to the colors you want on your tree.
I will not paint it now, I've done in an open place. You can do it on a balcony, on the terrace ...
because the smell is quite strong, and you can mess around, so we have to be careful.
Then, either of two options. I showed you before that I had left one just painted, and the other one had put glitter.
Then, I'll show you what we'll do first. We will use this one, it's painted. We take a piece of cord, a small piece. And we will tie.
To hang it at the tree. Let's go looking the part we like more, to make it more straight.
And we're going to put it.
We tied the cord with a knot.
Do it longer, I have it very short.
Because sometimes the branches of the tree are somewhat thick, and it doesn't pass. Well, there you got.
Now I'll show you what I do with glitter.
In a clean paper, put some glitter, this is a dust one.
You can put a little glue, the normal one, the one we use for crafts
But you run the risk that the glitter is too noticeable.If you like you like that, do it.
I simply will extend a little glitter with the hand. And it is much better.
Because this is very golden glitter, and when I did it with glue I did not like it.
What I like is that the purplish gives a sheen. But hey, whatever you want.
Then, you pass it. Notice how he will take shine. Put the measure that you want.
It's over. So the ball would stays like this.
When we put on the tree is very nice, and you see the tree through the ball. We have one without glitter, two with glitter.
Hope you like it and notice that are different sizes, and looks good.
This is my idea for today, see you in the next video.
