2. So, we harvest squares from fabric or from a tape 5×5 cm.Cut the protruding threads so that they do not interfere, it is not necessary to process the edges.
3. Next, we are engaged in the ball, it must be divided with a marker first in half, then in half again, and again, the angles of the sectors are approximately 45 degrees.
4. Now we pins the first square right in the center of the marked ball..
5. Squares folded in half will look the most advantageous, neat. You can fix them both with glue and with pins, but the glue will still be more reliable. The first layer includes 4 squares located without touching, and so that the very first square is visible between them.
6. Next, alternating colors, lay out the next layer according to the same principle, loosely touching, through it the previous layer will be visible, another in color.
7. There can be no more than 4 rows with one color, the rest must be of a different shade.
8. You can wind it in a spiral, decorate the ball with beads, securing them with glue.
9. The ball can be simply put on the branches of the Christmas tree, or you can attach a lace in the form of a loop on either side and hang it.

• synthetic fabric, can be satin ribbon 5 cm wide.
• scissors.
• glue (glue gun can be used).
• eyelet from the Christmas tree.

Progress:

1. An interesting option will be obtained from fabrics of three different colors. Let’s say silver with blue for the bump itself, and the cap under the eyelet will be white. It can be borrowed from a finished Christmas tree toy..
2. We also cut the ribbon or fabric into 5×5 cm squares, but we no longer bend them in half, but in the form of triangles.
3. We begin to glue from a blue square, also to the center of the marked ball. For convenience, the ball itself can be placed on the neck of a small can of a suitable diameter.
4. Now we fix 4 squares folded in triangles so that they do not touch each other, between them the first square was visible.
5. After that, blue triangles go into 2 layers again, gradually moving away from the beginning of work. There should be no gaps. When half of the ball is passed, you can turn the ball upside down to complete the job.
6. The blue ones are again followed by 2 silvery layers. On the other pole of the ball we immediately glue a solid square to avoid gaps.
7. To the top of the triangles we glue closer and closer to each other, their last row forms a square window.
8. Now we make a hat from a white satin ribbon. To do this, it is lightly gathered on a thread for a wavy effect..

1. So, we have prepared the threads and the hook, you will need another synthetic winterizer for filling.
2. Toys stuffed with padding polyester can be washed without fear of rolling, which can happen with cotton filler.
3. We start with 4 loops, more of them can form an unnecessary hole.
4. Now each loop must be knitted twice. We knit the next row in the same way..
5. Next, for a striped pattern, take threads of a different color. We try to leave knots of connection of different threads from the wrong side.
6. We knit 2 rows with this thread, then we return to the first color. We gradually build up the loops so that the ball grows in width.
7. You can make it not two-color, but multi-colored, depending on your desire and the availability of several colors of yarn.
8. So we knit in 2 rows, then we begin to decrease the loops so that the ball begins to taper towards the end of the work.
9. We get a small hole, which we use for stuffing inside the padding polyester. Do not fill too tightly, the balloon should retain its shape, but also be airy at the same time.
10. On the last loop, a more thread should be pulled out to tie a loop, for which the ball can be hung on a Christmas tree.
