The autumn with its great colours was our inspiration for this bright ball arrangement. They Acrylic balls are also Straw silk paper pasted and shine through an inlaid chain of lights especially beautiful.
It's that simple:
For the pumpkins Acrylic-balls in Ø 8 cm, Ø 10 cm and in Ø 12 cm size are needed. To insert the light chain into Acrylic forms , melt a hole near the suspension into the closed balls with the hot glue gun. Sharp edges of the melted hole are best removed carefully with a cutter knife.
Now tear orange Straw silk paper into small snippets and apply it with a brush and Napkin varnish slightly overlapping to Acrylic balls
While the balls are drying well, cut two pieces of wire about 12 cm long for each pumpkin from from paper wire. When joining the balls together, the paper wire is clamped between the two halves.
For the pumpkin look the balls are painted and dabbed with light and dark orange Handicraft paint
Pumpkin leaves are cut out of green photo cardboard. Each leaf is painted with a Fineliners with black leaf veins and folded in the middle. The leaves are pulled over a pencil and slightly curved. The finished leaves are then threaded onto the paper wire and the ends are wound into spirals using the pencil.
Finally, the lights of the fairy lights are put into the balls and everything is arranged in a bowl together with herbal decoration accessories.
