Hi All,
I have revamped idea of old ... these paper baubles you may remember being made out of Christmas cards .. I decided to give them a try using double sided Christmas paper ....
Requirements
scraps of Christmas paper or one sheet ( card weight )
A circle cutter or punch
glue gun or fast drying glue
2 buttons, ribbons, & a lightweight ornament to trim
Method
Step 1 .. Using a circle cutter or punch , make 20 circles
* mine are 6cm diameter ( the larger the circles... the larger the bauble)
Step 2 .. Fold up edges to create a triangle
Step 3 ... Glue the sides of 5 triangles to form a circle
Step 4 ... join 5 more triangles to the outside edges of circle
Step 5 .. Thread a length of string or Christmas tie through a button & thread through hole at top of circle (sorry about the blurred photo)
Step 6 .. Glue a triangle into each of the gaps
step 7 ... Glue 5 remaining triangles to outer edges , then join sides leaving 1 side not glued
step 8 .. Decorate your chosen ornament if needed, attach onto a button with string, thread into base hole of the bauble, glue the last side to form a ball
step 9 .. Tie a ribbon around hanging string , baubles may be decorated with glitter or kindy glitz if desired
and ta dah ...all finished ... pretty baubles to hang for Christmas ...
I apologize for the photos .. overcast weather and a shaky hand makes for shockers.. LOL
Have fun creating ...
