Hello Steemians friends! My first post was a little introduction so this is my second post, a diy, hope you like it ! Today i'm gonna show you how to make a nice yarn ball lights decoration..
First time doing this thing. The key is to be patient and love what you do :D
Materials needed:
- Yarn
- White Glue/Super glue
- Balloons
- Vaseline
- Scissor
- Battery powered led lights
- Flat tray
First you need to prepare your area, this is quite a messy process so you’ll have to keep a paper or old newspaper to protect your area.
Step 1:
- Take the flat tray and mix white glue and water (50:50) very well (don't make it too watery)
- Soak the yarn into the water glue mixture without cutting the yarn
Step 2:
- Blow up small round shaped balloons
- Apply some vaseline on the surface of the balloons
Step 3:
- Start wrapping the glued yarn around the balloon randomly starting from the top of the balloon
- Cover the whole balloon with the yarn and try to create a nice pattern
- When you finish with all the balloons place them somewhere and let the glue dry about 24 hours
Step 4:
- Take a needle, pop the balloons and take it out from the yarn balls
Now it's the time to place lights inside the yarn balls:
- Find a small hole on the yarn ball and put the light inside
- Add a little super glue on the light to make sure it stick inside
