We all have well-loved ornaments, but there is a difference between a beautiful heirloom and an ornament that’s past it’s prime. If you’re looking for a way to spruce up your collection of Christmas decoration this year we have some fun, crafty ideas to inspire you!
Christmas craft is a great way to update your decorations. Craft baubles look stunning, are totally unique and are much simpler to make than many people think! All you need are some clear glass craft baubles, basic craft supplies like acrylic paint and glitter, and a bit of imagination! Creating craft baubles can also be a wonderful activity to do as a family – give everyone their own bauble to decorate however they want and spend an afternoon getting crafty together!
Painted baubles are a simple way to add to your decoration collection, and can be designed by you to perfectly suit your Christmas theme. You can them in stripes, polka dots, or even create a Christmas vista if you’re feeling particularly artistic! A great trick for creating painted baubles is to squeeze two generous drops of different colours inside the glass bauble and swirl around, tapping the sides of the bauble to distribute and marble the colours.
If you want to add some glitz and glam to your decorations, glitter and sequins are an easy way to create some eye-catching sparkles. You can find spray glitter at craft stores if you want to go for a simple look, or roll a freshly painted bauble through a container of glitter and sequins for a more dynamic approach. These baubles will look especially dramatic when hung alongside Christmas lights.
