When it comes to decorating your Christmas tree or home for Christmas in July, you might not immediately think of using craft baubles. Though decorating baubles is not the only Christmas craft project you can immerse yourself in, it is a popular choice by crafters of all skill levels. This project is the perfect option for adults and children to create everlasting memories.
By decorating craft baubles, it’s easy to create a unique statement piece to be cherished for years to come. Simply remove the top, fill the bauble with your favourite trinkets or craft supplies, replace the top and hang using the attached string. For a completely different result, why not decorate the outside of the bauble instead?
Craft bauble projects don’t need to be intricate, and you most certainly do not need to be an avid crafter to get involved. Creating craft baubles is about having fun and helps to evoke the essence of Christmas in your home. Keep reading to discover the true simplicity of craft baubles.
Crafting memories
Working with craft baubles gives you the opportunity to create unique Christmas decorations you can be proud of. Why not have fun and make lasting memories by getting the kids involved in this Christmas in July project. Spend a quality afternoon getting crafty together by giving everyone their own bauble, which they can decorate or fill with their favourite craft supply. Be prepared with an array of supplies, such as pom poms, plastic berries, stickers, shells or twine – to name a few. The possibilities are truly endless!
Special gifts
Not only do craft baubles make great projects for the kids, they can also be given at Christmas in July, as special gifts to hang on the tree. Giving these one-of-a-kind gifts to family earlier in the year means they can be displayed at Christmas time as well. Grandparents, especially, will be appreciative of a custom-made masterpiece from their grandchildren.
Involving the kids in Christmas craft is a wonderful new tradition you can incorporate into Christmas festivities. Displaying a child’s previous craft projects in your Christmas decorating each year allows for everyone to be reminiscent. Maybe you haven’t yet found the perfect Christmas gift for a special recipient – craft baubles make great last-minute gifts and memories that can be cherished forever.
Match to your décor theme
The versatility of craft baubles is something to be adored. Whether you’re channelling a Pastel, Traditional or Elegant theme this Christmas in July, you too can incorporate craft baubles into your décor. For a Pastel Christmas bauble project, glue pearls onto, or place them inside, teardrop craft baubles. Berries are a beautiful addition to any Traditional Christmas décor. Or finish your Elegant Christmas home by decorating craft baubles with feathers and diamantes.
Baubles can be hung on more than just a Christmas tree. Why not craft multiple baubles to match your Christmas in July decorating theme and display them on your mantle or shelf using a hanger or stand? Use Christmas in July as a chance to develop an original décor theme in your home by integrating a mixture of craft projects from previous years.
