I’ve used these clear baubles from HobbyCraft from Darice, which cost just £1.99 for a box of 10 – that’s a bargain 20p each!
I’ve also used these furry snowflake stickers from Papercellar which I got in a sale ages ago and to be honest rather regretted because up until now, couldn’t find a use for them, plus some tiny polystyrene balls, I’ve also had squirreled away for ages.
The stickers were a real fiddle fart to put on, as they were very delicate and hard to remove from the sheet they were attached to, in the end I resorted to using a pin to wheedle them off with.
As a finishing touch, I have added very sparkly flat backed gems that have a goldy tinge that marries up well with the top. …… sorry about the wet glue!
My only little criticism of the baubles is the gold top, I have a couple more ideas, but as the embellishments I want to use are silver, I am going to have to spray the tops to match, perhaps I am being fussy but I can’t match silver with gold!!
I’m going to give these to special people instead of cards this year.

So pretty Helen...all the 'fiddle' was worth it.

These are so nice. What a great idea. Donna
Ooo...these are really cute Helen. I love that you have so much imagination to share. ~Glen~
These are lovely. I used my Krylon pen recently to change some gold metal corners silver if that helps.
Just Lovely :-) You have spurred me to get on with mine. Sadly the baubles I had ordered from HobbyCraft were all sold out :-( I had some large baubles I had already purchased from a local garden centre so after seeing yours I decided to plod on regardless. You can see my finished bauble here

Thank you for all your inspirational projects :-)
