Tear off a few pieces of paper and, dipping them in glue, stick them on the ball. To make the base strong, the thickness of the paper layer should be approximately 1 cm. Leave the structure to dry. After that, pierce the ball and pull it out of the base;

sisal ball. Choose any base, after that, pre-purchased sisal of the desired color, apply to the ball and wrap with threads of the same color. It is important to achieve a uniform distribution of the sisal layer over the entire surface of the sphere;

Do-it-yourself sisal and fruit topiary - master class

For a do-it-yourself sisal topiary, we need:

foam ball;
coryllus stick;
sisal-2 colors (green, beige);
decorative apples;
flowers, artificial greenery;
satin ribbon;
gypsum;
glue gun;
pot for our sisal topiary.

Performance:

Now I will tell you how to make a topiary from sisal balls. Let's start at the top of our tree. First, let's figure out how to make sisal balls for topiary. It's not difficult, we take sisal, pinch off pieces and form balls in the palms, as if we were rolling a piece of plasticine or dough. Balls need to be made about the same size as our apples in order for the ball to be uniform. Don't forget to leave the sisal for the grass in the pot.

Now we need to glue the finished sisal balls on our ball, while mixing them with apples and flowers. We glue the ball, somewhere near the apple, somewhere not far from the apple-flower, so all over the ball. Be sure to leave some flowers and greenery for our pot to create a beautiful view there too! When there is little space left, we spin the ball and see how everything fits and decide where the top will be and where the bottom will be. When we decide, we take scissors and pierce a hole for our trunk (corillus).

Now you need to squeeze the glue from the gun into the hole that we prepared for our barrel, fill it almost completely, and insert the corilla there. Now we have a formed top and there are materials for the bottom.

When the top is ready for us, we plant it in a pot, for this we need gypsum. If there are any building materials at home, such as putties, drywall glue, they can also be used for planting. We take our mixture, fill it with a small amount of water to make a thick gruel, the thicker you get it, the faster it dries, the liquid one dries longer.

Now we shift our gruel into a pot, making sure that there are no voids. When the pot is filled, we take our tree and plant it in the center, making sure that it grows evenly. To do this, we can lean it against the wall or fix it with anything, for example, with water bottles - this is so that it does not fall and does not squint. We are waiting for the plaster to dry.

When the gypsum has dried, we begin to glue the “little things” on the top of the tree, flowers, green leaves, possibly beads will serve as such little things. In our case, we added greens. Now we will decorate our pot. To do this, take the sisal, which was left initially and make grass. We drip glue near the base of the tree, twist the sisal around, then glue it in the same circular technique to the plaster.

Now we are doing the finishing touches - we will glue an apple into the grass, perhaps some insects, flowers, greens. We decorate the pot itself with a satin ribbon bow, also gluing it to our glue from a gun.

When everything is already done, we remove the strings, the sisal that hangs. You can simply cut off with scissors everything that is superfluous, maybe somewhere the grass sticks out in a pot.
Here's what we got!

Such a topiary can very well merge into, kitchens, or! It can be a wonderful gift for any occasion!

Such floristic fiber as sisal can be seen today in every flower shop. More than one photo or video master class is devoted to the manufacture of sisal crafts. Sisal is made from the leaves of the Mexican agave, it is such a herbaceous shrub from the subtropics. Sisal fibers are coarse and hard, but very strong. Ropes, ropes, washcloths, brushes are most often made from this fiber. That is, production, far from artistic creativity.

But it was the masters of arts and crafts who drew attention to the fact that sisal is appropriate in needlework, as well as in a variety of types of decor. And now the video instructions tell you how to build such beauty.

Before making a beautiful souvenir tree, you will need a MK (master class) for making the sisal itself. If you could not find it anywhere, you can make it yourself. Where you should start is by visiting a hardware store. Buy a brush for whitewashing houses there, it is cheap, and you can pull a lot of fibers from it.

Choose brushes with a thin, durable pile, the pile must certainly be natural.

The next point is how to make such a sisal colored:

Use dyes in tablets or powder;
Fill any vessel hot water, add one tablespoon of vinegar there, and then the dye itself;
Soak the sisal divided into strands in the resulting solution for two and a half hours;
When the material dries, you can lay it out to dry on ordinary landscape sheets or napkins (of course, clean ones);
To get interesting colors, you can mix shades;
Natural dyes are also used - in the photo you can appreciate how beautifully sisal is dyed with ordinary potassium permanganate, beetroot juice, coffee grounds, etc. with your own hands.

And if you need a snow-white blank, you can soak the sisal in Whiteness, increasing the soaking time to six hours.

Very important: do not dry the sisal on newspaper or magazine sheets, it is possible that the letters will be imprinted on the material.

There is also such a thing as wicker (linen) sisal. How to make it with your own hands? Another little tutorial. Take an oilcloth, lay the prepared fibers on it in any order, and cover it well with wallpaper glue on top. Cover it all with another layer of film, press down with a flat board.

A day later, such a woven fabric can be used - for example, to make a sisal topiary.

Sisal Christmas Tree Topiary: New Year's Master Class

The most relevant video and photo tutorials are devoted to the manufacture of sisal topiary, the model of which is a herringbone. Such a New Year's souvenir will be a great gift for friends and family. This New Year's souvenir is made very simply, but how such a tree will help out in holidays- a hand-made thing is always a more valuable present when there is such a New Year's occasion.

How is such a Christmas tree made? The main crown for such a tree will not be a ball, but a cone. Well, if the ball is clear where to get it, then how to make a cone? The easiest option is to twist it out of cardboard. And it is better to fix the cone with adhesive tape, and not ordinary, but painter's tape - the future Christmas tree will be stronger.

Also, a plastic base for a children's pyramid or a foam blank is suitable as a blank.

The bottom of the cone must be closed in a circle;
Take a piece of wire, bend one end of it;
Pass the wire through the top of the cone, secure it with hot glue;
Make a hole in the circle with scissors, thread the circle onto a pencil;
Finally, glue the cone itself (future Christmas tree) on top of the pencil, glue the circle from below;
Tear off a piece of sisal and fix it on the end of the wire with the same hot glue;
Wrap the sisal tightly around the wire, and then begin wrapping movements around the cone, securing each turn with hot glue;
Sisal should thus be wrapped around the entire cone;
A pencil-trunk can be wrapped with twine or pasted over with silver narrow tape.

Decorate the pot too, moreover, you need to do this so that the color of the decor of the pot is in tune with the Christmas tree. For example, the Christmas tree is blue and the Christmas pot is also blue. If you want multicolor, it should also be in harmony. For example, the Christmas tree is green, and the pot is golden. In a word, the Christmas tree and the New Year's pot should overlap in color.

Well, such a Christmas tree will already be decorated the way you imagine. View photo or video examples of how other craftsmen decorate a similar colored sisal topiary. The Christmas tree can be decorated with a mini-garland, New Year's beads. It can even hang a festive ball, and not one - only very small ones.

Decorate the pot with your own hands - with golden braid, satin ribbons, snow-covered fruits. Inside the pot, upstairs, you can put a small New Year's photo to make it clear who this gift is from.
