With Christmas just around the corner, time is running out to prepare for the big day. When you’re shopping for your loved ones, planning your food menu and juggling your holiday parties - decorating your home can easily fall through the cracks.
This year, instead of spending your time running around the shops for decorations, have a go at making your own! Filling your own Christmas baubles is a great way to make your tree stand out and gets the family involved in a fun craft activity.
It doesn’t take long at all. All you’ll need are 3 materials and follow our 6 simple steps below:
Supplies
You will need:
- - Fillable baubles
- - Bauble filler
- - Self-adhesive Red Rhinestone letters
Step One
Your first step is to take both halves of a fillable bauble and set one half aside.
Step Two
Take one-half of your bauble and your Red Rhinestone letters, and carefully peel off one letter at a time.
Step Three
You’re ready to start decorating your bauble with what you wish to spell out. You might choose a loved one’s name or a Christmassy word. We decided to decorate our baubles with Elf, Joy and Mum. Once you’ve decided, gently stick down the letters one by one.
Step Four
Once you’re happy with your bauble’s lettering, it’s time to fill them! Grab your white or silver bauble filler and pour it into one half of the bauble until it’s full.
Step Five
Next, get your other half of the bauble and push them both together until they click into place. Make sure you line up the top of the bauble so you can thread your string through the eye. Let’s see if you can do this without spilling any of the filler!
Step Six
You can now take one of your strings from the bauble box and thread it through the eye at the top. Once you’ve threaded it through, finally create a loop so you can hang your baubles on the Christmas tree.
You’re now ready to decorate your tree with your self-made Christmas baubles that have your own special touch!
