Round and Cute 【Honeycomb Ball】 is Now a Popular Interior Item♡
Did you know about 【Honeycomb Ball】, an interior item that has long been a staple overseas and is now very popular in Japan? With its delicate and cute honeycomb-like design, this paper item brightens up any space instantly just by hanging it from above or placing it around♡
The fluffy sphere of the honeycomb ball, made up of multiple layers of thin tissue paper, is perfect for decorating parties and events♡ You can choose the size and color, making it easy to use for weddings♩
At first glance, the 【Honeycomb Ball】 may seem complex, but it is actually very easy to DIY! The materials can be easily obtained from craft stores or 100-yen shops like 'Seria', so be sure to give it a try♩
The materials used are papers that are thin but not too thin, like 'tissue paper' used to create giant paper flowers* Among bloggers, 'Echizen Washi' from Seria seems to be popular♩ You will need about 40 to 50 sheets of paper, depending on your preference*
Mark the paper at equal intervals (this can also be done by marking it on a base) and glue the first sheet at the red dotted line, layering the second sheet on top and gluing it at the blue dotted line... continue this for the number of sheets you've chosen*
Once the paper has dried, cut it into semi-circles and attach them to a semi-circular base◎ After making holes at the top and bottom, thread string or elastic around them♩ Finally, attach the base together to form a round shape, and you’re done♡
You can also combine different colors or dye them with watercolor paint to add your own flair! This honeycomb ball was dyed in the trend colors of 2016, Rose Quartz and Serenity♩
