You will need:
Felt (in this case white)
Thread (white and silver or gold) and needle
Scissors
1. Cut out 8 identical circles. To do this, you can draw identical circles on felt using a compass or a pre-prepared cardboard template.
2. Fold all the circles in half and press.
3. Take two circles folded in half and connect them along the central fold using a needle and thread (see image). First, tie a knot - try to keep it on the inside (between the circles). Don't cut the thread.
4. Add two more circles, but spread out - one on top, the other on bottom (see image).
5. Use a needle and thread to connect the added circles - also making seams strictly along the center fold line. The thread also does not need to be cut.
6. Bend the sewn circles and add two more - sew them in the same way as in previous cases, while not forgetting to cut the thread.
7. Repeat the same with the remaining circles. Now you can tie the thread into a knot and cut it.
8. To make a loop for the toy, prepare a silver thread. You can use a thick thread or divide a thin thread into 3 parts, which should be inserted into the eye of the needle.
Starting from the middle, start moving the needle and thread to the top and at the very top make a loop and tie a knot.
Open the circles a little so that the ball turns out smooth and fluffy.

Thank you for your attention!
With the upcoming holidays approaching, there is a great opportunity to make your own greeting cards. Such cards are pleasant to both give and receive.
Surprise your family and friends with a handmade New Year's card. It's not at all difficult to create. And material for implementing creative ideas can be found in every home.
For the New Year's card "Christmas tree" we will need the following materials:
- Cardboard – A4 sheet
- felt - rectangle size 10 * 7 cm
- PVA glue or glue gun (hot glue)
- glue brush
- scissors
- beads
- satin ribbons - leftovers
- ready-made inscriptions "Happy New Year"
- sewing thread
- decorative element - a piece of golden mesh
Let's start by making the base of the card.
Take good thick paper - whatman paper or cardboard. If the sheet is thin, it will not be possible to glue decorative elements to it.
Fold a sheet of cardboard in half.
Fold the felt sheet in half and cut out a triangle. This will be the basis for the felt Christmas tree.
Glue the satin ribbons to the bottom of the card using PVA glue. Apply glue to the back side of the tape and distribute well over the surface.
Glue satin ribbon horizontally at the top of the card.
Let the ribbons dry a little and start decorating the Christmas tree.
Let's take our blank - a triangle. Using thread and needle, sew on the beads. Small parts can be glued using hot glue, but it will be more reliable to simply sew them on.
As you sew on the beads, insert a decorative mesh in several rows.
Sew bright yellow beads all over the felt tree.
Apply PVA glue to the felt from the wrong side and glue it to the paper base.
Let's make an inscription. To do this, print out the inscription “Happy New Year” on a printer. Cut it out.
From the remaining felt, cut out a rectangle slightly larger than the paper lettering. Give the edges of the part a rounded look.
Glue the felt to the card.
Glue a paper inscription onto the felt.
