Necessary materials, tools
From tools, materials you will need:
threads - knitting or sewing;
balloons - always round;
glue for wallpaper or PVA;
a cup or container for glue;
some water;
scissors;
needle;
tweezers.
The threads are taken in any color or white - the finished ball is then painted from a spray can. Floss, woolen or regular sewing are suitable. It is better not to use stationery glue - it does not “hold” threads well.
The better the fibers are twisted, the stronger the structure will come out. Also, for greater strength, sugar syrup is added to the glue.
Main technique
A step-by-step description of making a ball of thread:
inflate the ball, but just enough to make it round;
the glue is mixed with water to obtain a uniform consistency;
the threads are dipped in glue, but not all at once;
as an option - the thread is threaded into the needle, the jar of glue is pierced, the thread is pulled through it, saturated with glue;
then the thread randomly wraps around the ball;
when enough is wound, the thread is cut, the tip is tightly fixed with glue;
the ball is hung up or put on a tray - after 10-20 hours, depending on the thickness of the threads, it will completely dry;
to speed up the process, you can dry the structure with a hairdryer - it will take no more than an hour;
when the ball is already dry, hardened, it is unfastened with the hands from the frame, pierced with a needle, if it is too dry to the threads, it is separated with tweezers.
When it is planned to make a lot of balloons, the air does not have to be punctured - you can only let the air out of it, carefully remove it without damaging it.
If the inflated ball is previously smeared with any greasy cream, the threads will lag well behind the base, it will not have to be torn off by hand.
Decoration, painting balls
As usual, decorate a spider ball:
painted from a balloon or by hand;
pasted with rhinestones, sparkles;
embroider with beads, bugles, sequins;

Manually also painted with acrylic paint and brushes - this is a little more difficult, but you can depict stripes, multi-colored overflows. Shiny elements, beautiful plant seeds (beans, lupins), paper butterflies, dried flowers, twigs are glued to the surface using PVA glue. Beads, beads, beautiful buttons, textile ribbons are sewn with thin threads.
