• Eight plastic balls;
• Several napkins for decoupage with images of animals;
• PVA glue;
• White acrylic paint;
• Acrylic varnish for decoupage;
• Dry glitter of different colors, gold liquid glitter;
• Satin ribbons 0.5 cm wide;
• Brush for decoupage;
• Paint bowl and kitchen sponge.
Remove the caps from all the balls.
We carefully take the ball by the cap in our hands, pour paint into the container, dip a sponge into it and apply the first layer of paint. So we color all eight balls.
While the balls are drying, prepare the napkins. We tear off animal designs from each napkin so that they fit the size of the balls.
Carefully remove the top layer of napkin from each piece.
The first layer has dried, now apply the second layer of white paint.
Leave the balls until completely dry. Now we take the fragment with the rabbit, apply it to the ball and glue it with adhesive mass using a decoupage brush, start gluing from the middle. The adhesive mass is prepared in advance at a ratio of 1:1 water and PVA glue, stir well and you’re done.
Now we take the second fragment with the rabbit and glue it, as if towards the first rabbit.
Where there was not enough design, we tear off pieces of the yellowish background from the napkin and decorate the remaining space with balls. We decorate all the balls in this order.
Let the balls dry for about two hours. We prepare the ribbons by cutting off approximately 25-30 cm of each color. When the balls are already dry, put hats on them, then thread ribbons and tie bows at the base, as in the photo below.
Now we cover the balls with two or three layers of acrylic varnish at intervals to allow each layer to dry, and finally sprinkle with dry glitter. Balls for the New Year's beauty are ready! Happy creativity!
