3 FUN WAYS TO DECORATE YOUR CHRISTMAS BAUBLES
Decorating your own baubles is a sure fire way to add a little personalisation to your tree and would even make awesome wedding favours if you’re having a Christmas themed shindig! Today we’re going to be sharing 3 ways to turn plain white baubles in to drop dead gorgeous decorations! Here’s how…
TYPOGRAPHY…
You will need: plain white baubles (we got ours from Amazon) // spray paint in the colours of your choice // vinyl // merry template // jolly template // bright template // Cricut Explore or a sharpie if you’d prefer to hand draw the text //
Step 1: Tie your string around the top of the bauble so that you can easily spray paint it without having to get your fingerprints all over it.
Step 2: Spray paint one solid colour around the entire bauble and allow to fully dry.
Step 3: Upload your font templates to the Cricut Design space and set it to cut out on black vinyl, then peel off the design and stick firmly to the mug. Or alternatively if you’re handy with a sharpie you can draw on your text or even use stickers!
COLOURBLOCKED…
You will need: plain white baubles // spray paint in the colours of your choice // vinyl in the colours of your choice // newspaper // masking tape // string //
Step 1: Tie your string around the top of the bauble so that you can easily spray paint it without having to get your fingerprints all over it.
Step 2: Next, using your masking tape and newspaper mask off the bottom half of the bauble making sure the spray paint won’t get to any of it. Don’t worry at this stage if the line isn’t perfectly straight because your vinyl will cover it up.
Step 3: Spray paint the top half and allow to fully dry.
Step 4: Do the same again but with the bottom half of the bauble in a different colour and allow to fully dry.
Step 5: Finally, cut your vinyl in one long straight strip and wrap it around the middle of the bauble ensuring it touches both sides of colour.
