Basic materials, basic tools and materials for cutting machine

A Christmas ball will be as original as its materials are..

– THE POMPOM SCHOOL

One of the basic principles of our Christmas balls has always been the materials. Why, believe me, one is not worth the same as the other. It's not the same. Doesn't strain :(. We took, years, in shaping our balls. It takes us months to find the perfect materials and we pay more than necessary for being very selective in choosing every detail of our Christmas balls..

Surely this is one of the lessons that interests you most in this course: o no. In any case, I would like it to serve as a guide for you to learn how to decorate each and every part of a ball and that, then, give him your own creativity.

Of course this is our design, but you can decide what materials to use in each of them. I wanted to divide this module into 4 parts:

• Basic materials
• Basic tools
• Materials for cutting machines
• List of suppliers

I also want to give you my list of suppliers (for me, pure gold). a list of suppliers means trustworthy information, selection after trial and error, best prices. It does not mean that they are neither the only ones nor the best., but yes, the ones that I have used for years and that have never failed me.

If you are from Spain, you can use many of them. If you are from outside of Spain I also provide some that are international and online, so calm down. Y, I'm sure, that in your area there will be many stores where you can purchase the materials because they are all very generic and simple. You just have to be very careful when choosing them.. I insist, not everything goes. Your balls will talk about you…BELIEVE ME!

Basic materials

Basic tools

To create and decorate Christmas balls we don't really need many tools., with what, in this sense, we don't have to make much investment. These are the tools you may need to create Christmas balls.

Materials if you have a cutting machine (Silohuette Cameo)

If you have a cutting machine, in my case, Silhouette Cameo, You can personalize your Christmas balls using the adhesive vinyl technique. I'll tell you the materials you're going to need..

If you don't have a cutting machine, QUIET. The main thing is to learn how to decorate them, We will learn other ways to customize them without a machine.
