8 simple ways and several unusual solutions on how to make a ball as the basis for topiary: master classes with photos and videos

In every home where there are small children, the main task when decorating the Christmas tree is, first of all, its safety. These little playful creatures not only strive to remove all the shiny things from the branches, but also taste them, especially if they are teething. And here undeservedly forgotten retro decorations, in particular, Christmas tree decorations made of wood, can come to the aid of parents. They do not break, which eliminates the possibility of being injured by sharp fragments, and even if a child accidentally gnaws on such a toy, he still will not be able to bite through it and swallow the particles.
The shape and appearance of wooden products can be very diverse: from simple snowflakes made from twigs to figurines of animals and birds. Everything depends only on the imagination and patience of adults who will create masterpieces, although older children can also be involved in the production of simple models. While dad is busy cutting and assembling, mom and daughter or son will paint the blanks.

So, what kind of wooden Christmas decorations can you make with your own hands to decorate your Christmas tree and give it an original look? We offer a brief selection of such jewelry.

I myself am a turner with a third rank, but to come up with the idea of ​​turning cubes on a lathe, and even nesting them in each other, you have to be a turning genius. Gorgeous beyond words!) I’m thinking of making the same thing on the machine! Are you just interested in the dimensions of the inner diameter, or did he take the size by eye? who knows, tell me

It's crazy - he makes cubes on a lathe... (we carry the round one, we roll the square one). Guys, make me this - anyone who can do it, I’ll buy it.

Ay ah ah, I wish I had a turner like this when I installed a Vagov chassis on my brand...

Now I've seen everything!
