Project by Nicola Hills
Create some festive Christmas baubles to decorate your tree - without any sewing!
You will need:
Various fabric pieces from 1 set of ‘A Christmas Wish’ FQ set.
Decorative Ribbon
Polystyrene Baubles
Christmas Bells,Buttons,Bows
Tools:
A craft knife
A ‘pokey’ tool
Dress makers pins
How To:
To start with I suggest you score the bauble simply so as to get a feel for this craft.
Score 4 sections with the crafts knife about 1/4” deep to create quarters.
Cut a piece of fabric that will fit the section with 1/4” excess all around.
Place the fabric over the section and gradually begin to poke the sides into the score you made down each side.
Repeat this for the remaining sections.
Now take your decorative ribbon, wherever you start place a pin to hold the ribbon.
Continue round to cover where the sections join, place as many or few pins as you need to secure the ribbon.
This is very addictive and once you have done a few baubles your creativity will flourish!
You can make them as simple or as complicated as your imagination and skill set allows!
These Tiny baubles were just wrapped in fabric, but placed on the tree with the others look so effective.
Its a great way of creating your own theme for Christmas as you can make co-ordinating items *see my Advent Tutorial* for matching projects!
I hope you have enjoyed this tutorial, any questions please feel free to ask:
