Sequin Christmas Baubles

Pin It

"Less is more" is a saying I firmly believe in...unless it involves lights and sparkles on a Christmas tree.  I like our tree to have bling and these quick and simple decorations are a fantastic cheap way of adding shine to the holidays.







Materials

Polystyrene Balls (purchased from craft shop)
Sequins
Sewing Pins
Ribbon










Method

Using sequin curved side facing down, push pin through centre of sequin into the polystyrene ball.  Continue to cover the ball with sequins, ensuring that they overlap, until ball is completely covered.  Tie ribbon in a bow and attach using a pin.




It really is that simple and these shiny little baubles will refelct the lights from the tree to every corner of your room.


Happy Holidays
