DIY creative: balloon tree
Everyone remembers how funny clowns in childhood demonstrated miracles with their own hands, bending and rotating long balloons, turning them into different shapes. It's time for us to be masters with dexterous hands. The homemaster.techinfus.com/en/ editorial team talks about an interesting approach to decor for the New Year: very soon you will have a Christmas tree made of balloons. With our own hands, we will learn how to make a Christmas tree from round, long and different-sized balls.

How to create balloon shapes
It does not take a lot of time to shape the spruce figure, especially if you are the owner of a hand pump for inflating balls or a special compressor.
On the one hand, such a craft is safe: the child will not stumble upon the needles, swallow them or get scratched. On the other hand, with the fervor of a young explorer, a toddler can happily pop an original piece.
To make a figure, you need a large number of balls of the desired color and diameter. The diameter is indicated on the package. At a worthy manufacturer, the balls are durable and will not burst at the most inopportune moment like an explosion.
Depending on the type and volume of the balloon, a New Year's figure is obtained.
If balls in green tones are often chosen for the base, then any colors and shades are used for decoration.
The meaning of the work is to assemble a single figure from a variety of inflated products. For hitching, the twisting method is used, the ends are tied with tape or braid, sometimes double-sided tape is used.
We collect a Christmas tree from round balls of different diameters
The most typical Christmas tree is made from round balls.
Using different diameters from larger to smaller, you can assemble tier by tier
What you need to work
Prepare a pack of green balls with a diameter of 5 ″ and 10 ″, modeling balls (preferably brown or green) in size 260, braid.
If you don't want to inflate everything with your lungs, we include a hand pump in the working set
How to assemble a Christmas tree
If you act slowly, then in an hour or two on the floor or on the table a gorgeous green (well, or of the color that your soul asked for) tree will flaunt. So let's start by inflating a few 10 "balloons. For each ball we make nine pump strokes.
Inflating not to the end of the SDM
We make eight oblong small bubbles, twisting the SDM around us
Begin to attach the largest round balls. To do this, wind the first ball between the bubbles. Then we immediately wind the second one. To make the mount secure, create another bubble on the SDM, and twist it with the first ball
We fasten a large ball one by one, make a bubble and twist them into a coupling. In total, in the first row, we get eight large balls. We burst the rest of the long ball and twist with large balls for reliability
We repeat the same manipulations, with the difference that we will hook the tip of the SDM to the first row. The bubbles themselves on the SDM should be round. We inflate the round balloons by seven strokes of the hand pump. Between the first and second row of zigzag we skip the braid for fastening and stability of the structure
Let's make 8 smaller bubbles again.
We take balls with a diameter of 5 ″, for each we make 5 pump strokes. The third and fourth rows are assembled similarly to the first two
For the fifth tier, we use 7 balls of the same size as in the previous row. In order to collect them, you first need to tie two balls together, trying to mark the knot at a decent distance from the balls
We make the second such two and twist them together, getting 4 elements. There are three balls left - twist them into a bundle and tie them to the previous four. Using the braid, we will tie the hitch to the fourth tier.
We inflate five small balls with the help of four pump strokes and connect them. Having connected two balls, we connect them with the fifth row. We also connect the remaining three with the fifth tier.
The seventh row is obtained from balls twisted together, inflated by only three pump strokes. We connect this one with the previous tier with braid. On the eighth row, we already inflate 4 balls for 2 moves.
At the end of the work, we need one element for three pump strokes

The beauty of the ShDM is in its special flexibility and twisting shape.
Using these characteristics and the presence of different colors, you can make a chic Christmas tree
What you need to work
We need 4 SHDM 260 green, 2 SHDM 160 gold or yellow, 1 SHDM 160 red.
Making an elegant Christmas tree
Following the instructions from the master class, very soon it will be possible to put a beautiful safe Christmas tree on the table.
| Illustration | Action Description |
|---|---|
 | We inflate the green balloons, but not completely - we leave about 6 cm. |
 | We take a green "sausage", measure three fingers from the edge and in this place we twist, getting a small "sausage". |
 | We make a second twist and twist both elements with the main one. |
 | Twist a small little bubble. |
 | We measure out four fingers and twist. |
 | We repeat the previous steps. We pierce the rest of the main element and tie the tail. |
 | It turns out one tier of the future Christmas tree. |
 | Now our not quite appetizing sausage will be equal to 4 fingers. |
 | And we also make the bubble larger than in the previous tier. |
 | By repeating all the steps, we get a tier of different sizes from each SDM. We connect them in series using the remaining ponytails. |
 | We make 4 small bubbles from red SDM. We tie three of them to each other by twisting. |
 | We make 4 more bubbles, connecting the last three. In this way we create a five-pointed star. We twist the last ball, tear off the rest for the tail very carefully (we need the inflated rest of the ball) and tie the structure. |
 | Twist two bubbles from the inflated remainder, connect them together, now we burst the rest of the balloon and get a tail. This tail will serve as a connecting link for the center of the star. You can hang the decor on the tree. |
 | We inflate the bead-type SHDM: we consistently twist the bubbles. We attach the upper part to the star and stretch it to the base of the Christmas tree. So, we consistently decorate the entire tree. |

It turns out wonderful decorations for the New Year
Nobody requires the base color to be exactly green.
Let's try to make such a beauty
What you need to work
We will need 50 balloons for a construction height of 220 cm in sizes 5 ", 9" and 12 ", a hand pump, many small balloons for decoration, a foil star.
How to assemble a tree
The assembly instructions are clear and understandable.
| Illustration | Action Description |
|---|---|
 | Pour water into one ball - we need it to make the structure heavier and more stable. We make a hitch of 5 larger balls and attach a weighting agent to them from below. We tie a long SHDM (160) to the center of the hitch. He will serve as a bunch for us. |
 | We make the second tier from the same parts, but without the weighting agent. We tie the row to the base using the SDM. We collect this row by row, using gradually smaller balls. The upper tier is made of five small balls. |
 | Take a star and inflate it with a pump. |
 | Choose the colors we need and inflate small balloons. |
 | We use double-sided tape for attachment. We glue the decorations and admire the work. |
