How to make the sphere

The sphere can be made of paper. Such sphere will be suitable for a Christmas decoration. However, to make the real sphere, paper is no good. Let's try to make it from... threads.

It is required to you

  • Paper, threads, glue, ball.

Instruction

1. Option 1. It is necessary to cut out sixteen identical circles. Then to unbend their parts, as shown a dashed line on the top part of the drawing. Then it is necessary to stick together the unbent parts among themselves. In any place where triangles connect, it is necessary to bind a thread (if the sphere is planned to be hung up somewhere). It is good to use such spheres as original Christmas decorations, especially, if to do them of velvet paper. Instead of circles it is possible to use pentagons. Such spheres look even more interestingly, especially toys of the small size.

2. Option 2. To make such sphere even glue is not required. It is enough to cut out three circles from dense paper and to mark them as it is shown on the lower part of the drawing. The third circle is bent in half and inserted into an opening in the second circle. After that it is necessary to develop the put leaf and to combine on it the second and third circles. Then the leaf is bent in the middle, and edges of the first circle are unbent and the second and third circles are inserted into the center of the formed opening. Then all circles are developed.

3. Option 3. Of course, the above-stated options, though are simple in production, are not spheres in strict sense of the word. If the real sphere is necessary, then it can be made of threads. Scissors, a round balloon, the coil of threads, PVA glue and plastic ware will be necessary for production of the "cotton" sphere. In the plastic vessel glue and water is poured into proportions about three to one and carefully mixes up. Then the balloon is inflated. Threads are unwound and put in a bowl with the divorced glue where are maintained within five minutes. After threads become impregnated with the divorced glue, the ball carefully is wound with them. At the same time it is necessary to watch that the layer of threads was uniform and there is no gleam left. In a day the sphere is ready. It is enough to take a ball, previously having pierced it a needle.
