How to Make Scalloped Paper Baubles

Level

Time

Budget

Baubles don't have to be boughtÂ to look classy - I had a go at making some very simple ones using a paper punch and some thick paper/card, and they turned out a dream! Just stick to a colour palette of 3-4 colours and find different textures and patterns within this for a decadent feel with an extra special handmade touch. Suitable for: Beginners Time to Make: 20-30 minutes per bauble

Step-1

Using the circle punch, punch out a series of circles from your card or paper. You will need quite a few to cover this size bauble.

Step-2

Begin assembling your bauble from the bottom up. Stick one circle flat down on the centre of the bottom of your polystyrene ball, using your glue gun.

Step-3

Begin sticking more circles in a row, around the edge of the first circle. Try to keep the glue on the top half of the circle, so that the bottom sticks out a little like a pine-cone. Make sure to overlap the circles a little to cover any joins.

Step-4

Continue step 3, working your way up the polystyrene ball. Make sure you place the circles slightly overlapping the top of the last row you have done, so that you can't see any of the polystyrene coming through. You will need to do 5-6 rows.
