• Vaseline or any greasy cream;
• scissors;
• long needle or awl.

Cooking instructions

Forin order to make a ball of thread and glue, follow these steps.

1. Inflate the balloon to size and tie tightly. It is advisable to stick the tail with adhesive tape to the ball so that it does not interfere with winding the thread.
2. Smear the ball with Vaseline or glue. The meaning of this procedure is that later, after drying, the rubber ball is easily separated from the ball of thread.
3. In a bottle of glue with a needle or an awl, make a through hole. It is important that it be slightly wider in diameter than the thickness of the thread with which the ball will be wrapped. If the hole is made narrow, then the thread will be difficult to pass, the glue from it will self-clean and remain in the bottle. The thread will remain almost dry and will not stick to the ball.
4. Thread the tip of the thread into the needle and push it through the holes in the bottle of glue. Remove the needle, and start wrapping the thread moistened with glue around the ball. It is necessary to ensure that the thread is well lubricated with glue. Balls are made from threads according to the principle of winding a ball - evenly over the entire surface of the balloon. Do not spare glue and thread. If you wind a little, then the ball-web may not keep its shape in the future and break. After a sufficient amount of thread has been wound, it should be cut off and the tip glued to the base of the ball.
5. Hang the ball to dry. Don't be in a hurry to deflate the balloon. The product must dry well. This may take several days.
6. After the ball of thread has dried well and has become hard, you need to carefully deflate the balloon. To do this, gently pierce it with a needle. If arubber stuck to the threads in some places, then you can peel it off with a pencil with an eraser on the tip. This procedure should be done with careful movements so as not to damage the product. When the balloon is deflated and completely peeled off, you need to pull it out. During these manipulations, the threads may move in the place where the ball is pulled out. Then they should simply be pushed back into place.
7. Decorate the balloon as you like.
