Temari is a master class. How to learn how to embroider Japanese balls. The art of embroidering balloons for beginners

Temari is Japanese art of embroidering balls, which is comprehended for about six years. In Japan, several levels of teaching this kind of needlework, but our masters went further. In addition to classical temari, they create pyramids, decorations, experiment with smooth, beads, paillettes, knitted decorative elements. So, let's learn the basic lessons on creating unusual balls.

Lesson 1: What to make the balloons from?

In our country, these products are used as decoration of a house, car, tree, key rings and even make by their type beads, bracelets, earrings. Depending on the function of the product, one or another material is taken: for Christmas tree decorations - a foam base, for toys - cloth.

For any Temari you need the following materials:

• Polystyrene or pantyhose, fabric, cellophane;
• Wool, cotton and sewing thread;
• scissors;
• 30-centimeter paper strip 0.7 mm wide;
• tape measure;
• Pins;
• Needles of different lengths.

If the foam plastic form is taken as a basis, then wrap it with a coat without lumens, and then reel with threads. Rewind tight in different directions. As soon as all the gaps are closed, insert the end of the thread (about a meter) into the needle and fix the tangles of the tangle with small stitches in different directions.

You can make temari-balls with your own hands from pantyhose or other elastic material. Form a circle from them, cover with cellophane and cut off excess ends. Without glue distribute polyethylene and begin to wind with coil threads, that is, you do everything the same as with a ball of foam.

Lesson 2: doing the markup

Attach the paper strip to the ball and zakolite the beginning with a pin. Then wrap it around the straight circle of the temari. Japanese art of embroidering balls is characterized by a clear marking, which forms one or another pattern. As soon as you measure the circumference, remove the strip and fold it in half. Fold the bend with a triangle. Mark the intersection points with pins, preferably multi-colored.

In this scheme, from the first point of the strip, wrap the ball in the opposite direction, also bend in the middle and mark with a needle. It is this strip between the poles laid out on the same lengths and then with the help of pins is marked on the sector. In complex ornaments, a centimeter tape is used . Beginners can make only four marks on the equator.

After all the pins have placed, you need to check that from any position of the ball, their parallel ends are located on the same line. After marking out, a kind of globe with meridians and equator turns out.

Lesson 3: embroidering tvorri balls

We continue the master class on markup. Take a contrasting bright thread (the thickness is similar to iris) and wrap the ball at the marked points. Now you can clearly see the lines of poles, meridians and equator. You tie a thread with a simple knot (to be able to linger among the wreath of threads).

Next, you thread the same thread into the needle and fix all the lines with 2-4 mm stitches. When embroidering, try not to displace the label. Remember, the needle should be long and sharp to pass through the embroidered balloons of the temari. We fasten the thread in a simple way: pull the thread through half of the ball and gently cut at the base.

Now embroider a simple pattern of squares. Insert a needle with a thread near the pole and clockwise bypass each mark, making small stitches for fixing in a perpendicular direction. The result is a square. After 1 centimeter, take a thread of a different color and continue embroidering the temari. Do not cut out the threads, since the alternation of the main and additional shades is taking place.

As soon as the square reaches the middle of the markup, proceed to the next motive. In total there should be 6 figures. Unsecured plots can be left as it is or decorated as desired.

Embroider the spindles

Let's consider one more pattern for temari. The master class will be dedicated to spindles or petals. The ball is also divided into four parts, as described in the lessons above. Now divide the line of the meridian in different color by three needles into the same 4 parts between the already existing marks.

Next, make a knot and insert a needle with a thread into the ball near the first pin. Now you need to circle all the pins, creating a "petal-spindle". The thread can not be laid loose or tightened, then the pattern will be deformed. Change colors to create an unusual ornament.

Note that the next row becomes larger and wider than the previous one, due to which the "spindle" pattern is obtained. Embroider the pattern until you reach the weave of the poles. Next, you also create 4 more vertical spindles.

Japanese temari balls have an unusual color, so we'll do an interlacing. We turn the ball so that the edges of the petals look up and down. Three pins divide the meridian so that one of them is in the middle of the spindle. We embroider a petal according to the same scheme, only the needle is inserted under half the figure. As a result, it turns out that on each side of the petal or goes to the previous spindle, or hides behind it.

We create chrysanthemum

Let's turn to flower patterns for temari. A master class for embroidering chrysanthemum requires attention and skill. Make a markup for 8 or 12 sectors, the more, the more magnificent the flower will be. Then mentally divide the distance from the pole to the equator into three parts and insert each meridian one third from the equator of the pin. This is the size of the chrysanthemum.

Now you embroider with a thread a kind of four-digit star. Then, by the same scheme, you create a shape that overlaps the first one. To make it convenient to see the angles of the stars, when dividing the petals, alternate the pins of two colors. As a result, you get four pins of each color that forms a square.

Now, from the resulting markings, in the same sequence, embroider the stars until the pattern reaches the equator. It is best to embroider flowers on a dark green background of temari. To get a beautiful chrysanthemum, make a basis with gold threads, and further rows alternate from light pink to dark red. Also do the second chrysanthemum on the opposite pole.

We embroider wings

Divide into 6 sectors of the Temari. Embroidery of balls begins with a hexagon at poles in the same way as they created a square earlier. Next, outline the angles of the wings. To do this, create an isosceles triangle with three pins, dividing the distance from the pole to the equator in half.

Now, with a contrasting thread, we embroider the original wings that cross each other, and begin with the marking pins. To be clear, let's call the three marking pins A, B, C. From the vertex A we go to the base B, make a stitch and go perpendicular to the base clockwise to the vertex C, from which we go to the base A, from which we create the vertex B.

As a result, on top of the poles the hexagon is sheathed from all sides, and from the bottom three triangles are formed. Wings can be made from two sides, then the pattern does not cross the equator or will be on one side, but the triangles are embroidered to the last. Empty places can be left or decorated at will.

We interlace rhombuses

Take the temari and divide it into the equator and 8 sectors. Now in each hemisphere divide half of the meridian into two and mark with pins. It will be the corners of the diamonds on the temari. A master class on marking a ball is described above when considering the embroidery of wings. Then the equator is divided once again in half. It is these marks that will determine the width of the diamond.

Then embroider a rhombus. From the top of the marker of the north pole make a stitch at the marking of the equator, then go to the top of the mark in the southern hemisphere. Capture the marking on the equator and go to the top at the north pole.

First, embroider diamonds that touch each other corners on the equator. Then embroider shapes that are interwoven with the sides. The embroidery scheme is the same as in the creation of intersecting spindles. That is, if you look at the rhombus, the opposite sides are under the pattern, and the other two sides are on top of the ornament. Use different thread colors to create an extraordinary bright pattern.

Five-pointed star

Consider how to embroider a star on the temari. The master class for marking and embroidery is described above when studying the process of creating chrysanthemum. Make a ball, determine the equator and divide into five sectors. Further from the equator and the pole, note the middle. And embroider the borders of the five-pointed star with a thread in a pattern that was painted in pencil as a child.

Now, on these lines, embroider first with one color about five or eight millimeters, then with another color until the corners of the star reach the equatorial line. On the reverse side, embroider a similar figure.

You can experiment a little with embroidery and skip the turn row. That is, you begin to embroider five millimeters with one color, then leave the background for a centimeter and make the star with another color of the same thickness. Two stars are produced on the same pole, with a large figure overlapping the lines of the small one. If you use transitions, like rhombuses, you get intersecting lines. Empty places and middle of the figure can be decorated with decorative trifles.

The basic rules for the manufacture of Temari:

• The ball is wrapped in woolen threads, then reeled;
• Wrap in different directions, tightly, without lumens;
• At will, the ball is fixed with chaotic stitches in different directions;
• Make the markings even, especially the poles and the equator;
• Use multi-colored pins for marking different levels;
• Start work with a large node;
• Nodule leave at a distance of 3 centimeters from the beginning of work;
• Each line is fixed with a 2-5 milliliter stitch;
• Embroider clockwise;
• Fastening is by means of a needle, which captures not only the line of the drawing or the meridian, but also the part of the base in the perpendicular direction;
• At the end of the thread, draw the needle on the other side of the ball and cut the end close to the base;
• When embroidering the thread should not be free or dense, since in this case the pattern is deformed.

Even a beginner can make any Japanese balls. Temari (master class with squares) start with 4 sectors, then go on to more complex drawings. You can draw a circle on paper by dividing it into sectors (diagonals), drawing a pattern and repeating it on your ball with the help of threads.
