Decorate your own Christmas Tree Baubles

Most families have their own Christmas tree tradition. In my family I buy my mom a new bauble every year and as long as it fits in with the colour scheme of green, red and gold as dictated by my sister then it's proudly placed on the Christmas tree.

What you need to make your own Christmas tree baubles:

Plain Baubles (matt are preferable for glue to stick)

PVC glue

White glitter

Christmassy material

How to make your own Christmas tree baubles:

Cut out shapes using the material. Make sure they are large/small enough to fit onto your bauble. Lightly spread the glue onto the back of the material and place onto the bauble. Use the glue sparingly as not to dampen the material as this will cause the material to bubble up and cause an uneven finish. Draw around the edge of the shape with your glue. Allow the glue to dry a little so it's tacky. Then sprinkle the white glitter generously over the glue. It's best to have a sheet of folded paper underneath in order to easily collect the glitter and then to bend (using the fold) to funnel the glitter back into your pot. My practical tip: Hang on the tree and allow to dry.
