Thank you so much!!! I'm so happy you like it!!! 😍🥰

[@clairefletcher2974]

How many meters of string do you recommend per ball?

[@thecraftingnookds]

That will depend on the size of the ball. Mine for example you can see the proportions with my hand, took 3 meters. Hope this helps!

[@clairefletcher2974]

Thank you so much. Going to make some for my tree this year x

Intenté hacerlas pero me quedó mucho pegamento en el hilo y se ve mucho el pegamento cuando se seca... ¿Qué sería lo que estoy haciendo mal?

[@thecraftingnookds]

Mira siempre al secarse si que se ne nota un poco el pegamento seco, pero no deberia ser excesivo. Hay varias cosas que descartar. Quizas el pegamento es muy fuerte, o es el tipo de pegamento que no se transparenta al secarse. Tambien puede ser que en tu caso necesites un poco mas de agua o que no quitaste el exceso de liquido al ir enrollando el hilo en el globo. Si quieres, pasame una foto a [e-mail] con el mayor detalle que te sea posible y podria tener una idea mejor. Espero haberte ayudado! 😊

Hi! Can I make this ornaments with cold silicone?

[@thecraftingnookds]

To be honest I have never tried and since I never use cold silicone I can't even say if it would be possible since you would need to be able to dilute it with water. Maybe you could experiment and see if it works! Thank you for reaching out!

[@chanellcoleman9543]

What's the stuff in the white bottle?

[@thecraftingnookds]

That's glue, the overlay text gives you the proportion, 2 parts glue, 1 part water. Hope this clarifies! Kind Regards!

[@ОльгаЯ-й9д]

Отличная идея! Спасибо, буду пробовать❤️

[@thecraftingnookds]

Glad you liked it! Happy holidays!🎄

[@azellemyrah9180]

Whenever i make this and pop the balloon the whole thing deflates and becomes a huge mess of string. Why is that? 👀

[@thecraftingnookds]

The only thing I can think of is that the glue is not strong enough. Your twine ball when dry should be very stiff and hard to deform. If you notice in the video, I first try to detach the balloon from the twine before deflating it, this helps you know for sure if the ball is hard enough. For example in my case, the glue I knew it was very strong, so I diluted it with water. Then the twine should be soaked completely in the glue and then wrap the balloon. You can also try using vaseline on the balloon before warping with the soaked twine. The quality of the glue plays a big role, if you use school glue maybe reduce the proportion of water, maybe 70-30. Hope this helps! Happy holidays!

[@azellemyrah9180]

@@thecraftingnookds Oh I think it's the glue i used. Thank you very much ❤ you saved my Christmas! Happy holidays to you too!!!

[@thecraftingnookds]

@@azellemyrah9180 Of course!!! My pleasure... Wishing you the best!!!

[@justinemidgley228]

You need to let it dry a little bit longer. A couple of days to make sure 😊.

[@nadia_wozynska]

This is so good! I have a contest at my school currently, were we have to make diy ornaments for the school christmas tree and i'll be definitely doing this!

[@fortunamoreno5690]

I have a project to make one in art class and i Think this is very cool idea

[@bladynebula346]

That’s so cool ! I’m making ornaments with my family and in laws tomorrow. It’s starting to become a tradition.

[@thecraftingnookds]

Oh gosh, I am so sorry I didn't reply to your comment. I just realized I had some comments held in a different place. sorry sorry, I always do my best to reply to all comments!!! Thank you for your sweet words, Hope it turned out gorgeous!

[@leylajimenez7222]

Y las medidas del hilo

[@thecraftingnookds]

Eso va a depender de cada quien, de que tamaño quiere la bola, que tan tupido lo quiere, o que tan grueso o fino es el jute. En mi caso use unos 3 metros para un ornament de unos 10-15 cm de diametro y no muy tupido. Tienes que ir viendo tu cuanto te viene bien segun las caracteristicas de tus materiales y manaño. Espero haberte ayudado.

So very cute! Love this idea TFS 💖

Thank you!!!🤩

[@thecraftingnookds]

Yayyyy Thanks!!!

[@tsoukatosilias]

It looks great but it takes so much string and one balloon to make just one ball. Multiply that by the number of balls you want to make. It is probably cheaper to just buy balls

[@thecraftingnookds]

You are probably right. This is just more for the fun and personalization than for the budget. Crafty people gotta craft! Thank you for stopping by!
