TCC You Tube Videos Cover 2018 Craft - Bauble Hanger - The Christmas Cart

With such a simple colour palette, it’s easy to create beautiful DIY pieces for a Christmas Sparkle theme. A little red, a touch of silver, plenty of glitter and sparkle and voila!


For inspiration, here’s how we created a Christmas Sparkle DIY Chandelier and Tree Topper.

 

Make a Christmas Sparkle DIY Chandelier

What you’ll need:

  • 38cm metal hanger
  • ribbon
  • selection of silver and red baubles and tree decorations. We used:
    • silver glass Christmas bauble pack – set of 42
    • red ribbed baubles – set of 3
    • rouge large drop – set of 3
    • rouge small drop – set of 3

Instructions:

  1. Gather your selected baubles and decorations.
  2. Attach them to the metal hanger at varying lengths/levels. You can thread some directly onto the hanger and suspend others with different lengths of ribbon to create your desired visual effect.
  3. Hang/attach the completed chandelier to your ceiling or chosen hanging place. TIP: It looks great suspended over your Christmas dining table.
  4. Enjoy your gorgeous new chandelier! 

Create a Christmas Sparkle Tree Topper

What you’ll need:

  • Silver look linear net placemat (we got ours from Kmart)
  • A range of silver and red sprays and flowers. We used:
    • 1 x Red Poinsettia Flower Pick with Red Glitter Trim
    • 2 x Red Glitter Fern Spray
    • 1 x Large Midnight Blue Beaded Glitter Bird
  • Cable ties, floral wire or anything similar to attach pieces to the placemat and shape/secure it to the tree

Instructions:

  1. Arrange and secure the feature flowers and sprays towards the centre of the placemat.
  2. Secure any other pieces that you have selected such as birds, picks or other decorations.
  3. Shape the placemat around the top of your tree and secure in place with floral wire and/or cable ties.

 

There are so many gorgeous silver and red floral pieces and decorations available to choose from. These are just two examples of how you can use decorations in a creative way to make beautiful, glamorous, sparkly feature pieces for your Christmas Sparkle décor.
