Huge colorful balloons in the sky always fascinate, this spectacle makes people of different ages delight and joy. Balloons have been invented by mankind for a relatively long time, but now they are used not as a means of transportation, but rather for entertainment. You can make a balloon with your own hands, and it is not as difficult as it seems at first glance. Of course, it is difficult to make a huge balloon, and there is nothing to do, but everyone will be able to do a small balloon. Such a balloon can be launched with the whole family. And it will be truly exciting.

Before proceeding with the manufacture of a balloon, you should familiarize yourself with its design and structural features.

How to make a balloon

For its manufacture, the following materials are used: thick paper, thin tissue paper, twine, glue, thread, as well as a triangle, a long ruler, scissors, glue brushes and a pencil.

The amount of material depends on the selected ball size (D) (see table). It is difficult to make a ball out of paper, but a polyhedron with a large number of faces, similar to a ball, is possible. For example, for a ball with a diameter of two meters, you need 16 strips of paper.

Marina Hoda

Picked up a script idea graduation party. For 27 years of work as a music director, it was different. I really wanted to find something interesting and original. On the Internet drew attention to high school graduation"Journey to hot-air balloon» . I really liked this idea. But how to build this Balloon, based on our capabilities (in our village they don’t fill balloons with helium? Thoughts were different. I connected my parents to the search and delivery of such balloons. They brought them from a neighboring village by train. And here again, how to make the balloons stay at a certain height, etc. d.

Here's what I came up with, take a look. Maybe someone will need my idea.

Material:

Large cardboard;

Air balloons on multi-colored ribbons filled with helium;

Multi-colored bags for decoration;

Bag with cargo (a rock)

So from large sheet of cardboard(from the fridge box) did basket: cut to size (so that all the children fit, tried on so that it stood firmly on the floor, and decorated with gouache.

I attached multi-colored bags to the upper edge of the basket (accidentally caught my eye from a didactic game, but it turned out spectacularly.

tried on air balloons: collected in one bundle, tied in a knot and tied a ballast (put a stone in the bag).

But I didn't really like this idea. Children will enter the hall and immediately see this « Balloon» - not interested! And then I got thought: what if you collect the ball directly on holiday? She tied colorful ribbons to the balloons and hung them from the ceiling. Nice, festive, and most importantly, not a single hint of « Balloon» .

On the holiday it was necessary to go in search of Dudyuki (evil heroine who stole all the letters of the alphabet). But on what? The children had a lot ideas: both by bus, and by train, and by all-terrain vehicle (also a familiar mode of transport for our area, and by motorboat, and by plane, and even by rocket. But not a single child suggested my option. And when I offered the children fly on hot-air balloon, it was huge astonishment: how, where to get it? And here under the song "On the big balloon» I began to collect balloons, tied the ballast - there was no limit to the surprise of the children,

and when I got it from "bushes" basket….

In general, we flew hot air balloon during the whole holiday. This design is easy to remove. (all the children helped in turn). They flew to the clearing - they removed it, it was necessary to fly - they set it up.

And at the end holiday, unleashed these balls and launched into the sky, making a cherished wish.

For big Balloon launches in cities are a common occurrence, but this was the first time for us, it was spectacular and very interesting for both children and parents.

Who in childhood did not dream of a ride in a hot air balloon! Any child in the game pretends to be a conqueror of heaven and wanted to sit in a flying ball. Such games are very important for the development of the child, and you can help him with this. It is not necessary to buy him expensive models of balloons. It will be much more fun for him to make such a craft on his own. Let's find out how you can make a balloon with a basket with your own hands. You can make it together - your kid will get a lot of positive emotions from the creative process, and then he will be able to play with the resulting toy.

Let's start creating

For the ball itself, you will need a layout - a newspaper or other paper, just do not take a thick one. How to make a large balloon with a basket of cardboard and other paper?

1. Tear the paper into pieces and soak in a bowl of warm water.
2. Inflate a balloon of the size you need - it will be the base. Lubricate it with hand cream.
3. Lay a layer of wet newspaper without glue over the entire surface of the sphere so that there are no gaps. Just leave a small area free at the tail.
4. Coat the entire ball with glue and lay out another layer of paper.
5. Make 4 layers in this way.
6. Leave the base of the craft to dry in a warm place.
7. When the product is completely dry, it must be primed. To do this, mix gouache with glue and apply over the entire surface. Choose the color you like.
8. Now pierce the ball with a needle. From the inside, he will peel off and fall out.

Now you can color and decorate it as you wish.

Making a basket

What can you make a basket out of?

• You can make it out of a tea box. Cut off the lid and cover the box with colored paper.

Important! The inner surface, if desired, can also be pasted over or painted with paints.

• You can make an origami paper basket. To do this, cut a square out of paper, divide into 3 parts and fold. Divide and fold it on the other side in the same way. Now fold each of the corners diagonally and form a cube. Make holes in the corners of the basket and pull the tape diagonally through the two holes. Connect the other two holes with an X.

Important! For the free ends of the tape, the basket can be tied to the ball.

• Suitable plastic buckets can be used. And if you put small toys in them, then the craft will become even more realistic. And if you plant figurines of Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden in them, then such crafts will bring the atmosphere of a holiday into your house.

It turns out that you can make a craft balloon with a basket with your own hands from them. It is absolutely easy to do this - even a child can handle it under your strict guidance:

• Degrease an old burnt out light bulb.

Important! The more original it will be the form the better. You can degrease it with alcohol.

• Now it needs to be painted. Choose the color you like and decorate the light bulb.
• Use a cork as a basket, or make one out of paper.
• Glue the ropes to the basket. Their role will be played by thick threads. You can twist several threads together.
• Draw patterns on the light bulb and attach the basket.

Important! You can make a loop and stick it with superglue to hang your craft.

These are the ideas that will help you become the creator of a small, but real balloon. We wish you successful results of your creative work!

A ball is a geometric body. Its description: - “a set of points in space located at a distance not greater than a given distance from the center. A ball is obtained by rotating a semicircle, or a circle around its diameter. But, this is the scientific scheme. Let's take a look at the practical. We will produce balls of all types, purposes and sizes. So, let's begin.

Making a balloon

At home, it is easier to make samples that Michael Faraday did. He is known as the discoverer of the law of electromagnetic induction. However, the scientist came up with balloons earlier, in 1924. The Englishman used sheets as material.

Two of them were superimposed on each other and glued around the perimeter. To prevent sticking between the layers, their underside was smeared with flour. Naturally, modules were cut out in the form of circles.

In the 21st century, the question " how to make a balloon' answer differently. Modern versions are made from latex. The first version was created by Neil Tilotson. Under the man's hand was liquid latex and cardboard. From the latter, the inventor undertook to cut out the head of a cat.

Then, for fun, I dipped the layout in latex. He quickly froze. Tilotson removed the ball from the cardboard and realized that Michael Faray's models had outlived their usefulness. In the factory, blanks are, of course, not cardboard. Let's see a story about industrial production.

Do you remember the childhood dream of flying up in balloons? So, scientists calculated how many inflated latex molds would be required for this. Before, how to make a balloon with your own hands find out your weight. Now, calculate the number of balls on the basis that one lifts no more than 10 grams.

We are talking about standard samples inflated with helium. Balls can be bigger or smaller. Therefore, it is better to find out their carrying capacity empirically. It is better to play it safe and take a little more elements for your aircraft.

While someone takes off on balloons, others, they are ground objects. The masters know how to make a balloon number, how to make a figure out of balls and how to make a balloon arch. The latter, for example, can be used at a marriage ceremony.

Inflatable garlands can also be useful there. As a rule, they decorate banquet halls. Children especially like it. Therefore, a rare teenager's birthday is complete without the invention of Neil Tilotson. The most popular square garlands. Let's learn how to make them.

In addition to voluminous, there are flat models. How to make a balloon garland, everyone decides for himself. Possible, for example, options from the modules. In this case, separate elements are formed. Let it be flowers with four petals. They are not connected to each other, but are attached at a distance to a fishing line, or a satin ribbon. If you surround the cores of the buds with tinsel, it will turn out great for the New Year.

Some garlands are flowers from balloons. They can be fixed on top of the main structure, or be its modules. But, the buds are valuable in and of themselves. This is a great alternative to live plants. Instead of a bunch of daisies, you can give, for example, a bouquet of balloons. How to make balloon flowers see the next video.

The only negative of the balls is their fragility. It's not even that the elements of products can burst. The trick is the helium. If the balloons are filled with it, then after a few days they are blown away. It does not require external damage. The fact is that the gas molecules are smaller than the distance between the molecules of stretched latex.

Helium gradually seeps into the external environment. By the way, keep this in mind when going on a flight in hot air balloons. 11" will lose their volatility in 12-18 hours. If you are planning a longer trip, it is better to choose a larger caliber balloons, or a standard aircraft. Let's talk about its creation.

balloon making

To make such an aircraft yourself is troublesome. First, the scale of the product is impressive. Secondly, it consists of diverse elements - the ball itself, basket, cables, burner. Thirdly, state standards require the manufacture of only high-quality and safe units. Each of them is licensed for use. All the wisdom of the process will tell the following video "how to make a balloon".

How to make a ball understandably. It is also clear that it is better to use the industrial version, order the product to professionals. The Spanish company Zero2Infinity even produces space balloons. They have a familiar shape. True, instead of a basket, a rounded module with portholes is attached. It accommodates passengers. They experience a feeling of weightlessness, admire the landscapes of the Earth from a distance of hundreds of kilometers.

Making a ball of thread

How to make a ball of thread? It is formed on the basis of an ordinary balloon. Its shape, later, will be repeated by twine, ribbons, yarn wrapped around. Usually, the threads are applied by hand. But the industry does not stand still. A couple of years ago, they came up with an apparatus for more uniform winding of yarn. It is usually purchased by those who have expanded their hobby into a business. We will show the standard version. So, - video "how to make a ball".

Thread balls are used not only as decorations, but also find practical applications for them. So, artificial or dried plants can be put into the product. Some balls become lampshades. There are also those that decorate Christmas trees.

Making a paper ball

How to make a paper ball with your own hands? There are several options. Pieces of sheets, as well as threads, can be pasted over latex molds. You can fold origami. Japanese technique allows you to get a spherical shape without using scissors, glue, ruler. But we will show how to make a paper ball using sets of stationery sheets of different colors, a stapler and glue. So let's get started.

If desired, you can modify the product. For example, instead of color, you can use newspaper or music sheets without changing the scheme " how to do". On the photo ball appears in another version, with an increased number of cells. Such toys are even sold in stores.

Here are the real balls. But what about virtual ones? They help out, for example, in the computer game Minecraft. Here, the item replaces the flint and flint, burning twice as long, and then disappearing from the inventory. How to make a ball in Minecraft are interested in and to put it in the dispenser.

In this case, an incendiary projectile is obtained. The object also comes in handy as an asterisk for forming a large ball. To get 3 of its modules, you need 1 gunpowder, 1 coal and 1 powder. Gunpowder, as a rule, falls out of the killed creepers. For the powder they go to Hell.

Coal is not in short supply. So, for everyone there are balls. Someone thinks how to make a balloon bell put it in a vase, and someone how to kill with the help of demon spheres.

Heavenly, Chinese lanterns (hum loy or hum fei) are very popular in Asian countries. There they are launched during the holidays. For example, in Thailand there is a festival of lights, which is accompanied by a massive launch of sky lanterns. Recently, such balls have become increasingly popular with us. Let's try to make a sky lantern with our own hands.

After a lot of experimentation, I finally found the simplest and fastest circuit to make.

To make a homemade sky lantern, we need:

1. Garbage bags 30l. (it’s better not to take more because the polyethylene in them is thicker and heavier) After many experiments, I finally found the simplest and fastest circuit to manufacture. To make a homemade sky lantern, we need:

2. Stationery tape

3. Aluminum wire 0.5mm

4. Candle "tablet" (only a jar is needed from it)

5. Dry fuel tablet

The ball itself is glued from several packages. Two to three. it all depends on the air temperature. In winter, in the frost, one will fly. In the summer, in the evening - at least two. To connect two packages, one must be cut along the solder line and inserted one into the other. Then glue the seam with tape.

The holder for the burner is made of aluminum wire. To do this, take two segments of 40 centimeters and twist around the candle.

At the ends of the wire we make clips for the package.

We divide the package into four corners and wind each corner onto the clamps. Everything. Our homemade sky lantern is ready.

We use dry fuel as fuel. Break a tablet of dry fuel into four parts. It may happen that the balloon does not take off immediately, due to the fact that dry fuel is quite heavy. We'll have to wait until it burns out a little. To launch the ball straighten and hang. Ignite the fuel and put it in a jar.

It is worth mentioning the security measures. This stuff is pretty flammable. Therefore, launches should be carried out away from trees and buildings. Mandatory in calm weather. By the way, the slightest breath of a breeze and the package will immediately melt or burn out.
