1. Apply a fragment with a poinsettia

We work with one half of the ball. We attach a snippet with poinsettia from the inside of the ball with a pattern to the plastic.
2. Glue a fragment with a poinsettia

We glue a fragment with poinsettia from the inside of the ball, smoothing the image with a brush with glue for decoupage. I’m drying.
3. We cover with glossy varnish

Around the fragment with a poinsettia, we go through a glossy varnish (over the entire free surface).
4. We put glitter on the glue

Until the varnish has dried, sprinkle the entire surface from the inside with sparkles of different colors (gold, red, green), dry.
5. Cover with acrylic paint

We paint over the entire half of the ball from the inside acrylic paint (on a layer of varnish). In our case, we used ivory shade. I’m drying.
6. Appearance of the half of the ball

From the outside, the half of the ball will look like this. Now we continue decorating it from the inside.
7. Glue a fragment with an angel

Now on this background from the inside we glue the second fragment decoupage card with picture angels.
8. We cover with glossy varnish

Glossy varnish we cover the entire surface of the ball from the inside next to the drawing (do not touch the image of the angel, otherwise it will later turn out to be in sparkles).

Until the varnish has dried, sprinkle the surface with multi-colored glitters. Dry.

We put a feather inside the ball under vintage image of our angels.
11. Close the ball with the second half
Carefully close the ball with the other half, without damaging the feather. The entire decor is inside a plastic ball, so there is no need to protect it.

The ball is almost ready. We decorate our ball along the seam by pasting a beautiful braid. Tie on top bow.
