Ball of roses

Materials for work:

1. Two packs of napkins of any color.
2. PVA glue.
3. Newspaper or magazine.
4. Balloon.
5. Scissors.

In order to make a ball of small paper roses, you must follow the algorithm below:

• Inflate the balloon slightly so that it takes a round shape.
• Tear a cooked newspaper or magazine into medium pieces.
• Stick these pieces on the balloon using PVA glue. There should be at least four layers.
• While the ball dries, you can start making roses. To do this, take one table napkin, fold it in half, cut in half and smooth these halves. Next, these halves need to be cut in half. Thus, from one napkin you get four roses.
• To start making a rosette, you need to start twisting a piece of napkin along the length.
• Next, from this strip, you need to twist the rose, forming folds - so it will look more magnificent. When the strip ends, the end of the rosette must be tied with a thread or fastened with a stapler.

Important! The more roses will be made, the more beautiful your ball will be made of do-it-yourself napkins.

• When the ball dries, you can begin to glue the buds. The fastened end of the flower needs to be cut off at the root, and only then glued - so it will hold on tightly.

Important! To make the craft original and unusual, you should paint it in gold color. For this, a spray can of gold paint will be needed.
