I had planed to show you a lovely glass bauble I had decorated with permanent pens, liquid pearls and punched snowflakes but then I dropped it while taking the photo! It was really pretty.
So instead I made a punched paper bauble.
 |
| The finished bauble, its about 4" across. |
 |
| Using the new Woodware crafty Edger and cassette that comes with it. |
 |
| Punch four strips from a 12" piece of scrapbook card. |
 |
| Cut four 1cm wide strips of the same card. I cut extra just in case! Punch a snowflake from same card. |
 |
| Mark the centre or each strip and make a hole. |
 |
| Push the brad through the snowflake and make a cross with the strips, pushing the brad through the holes. |
 |
| Add the other strips, alternating the punched and plain. |
 |
| When you turn it over you see the snowflake and brad. |
 |
| The inside of the bauble showing the secured brad. |
 |
| Bring up the other ends, overlap and stick with PVA glue. |
 |
| All the ends are now stuck to form the bauble shape. You can always stick another snowflake over this end. |
 |
| The top of the bauble. |
 |
| Add some cord to hang the bauble, I wrapped mine under the brad and wound it round a couple of time.s Decorate with more punched snowflakes around the bauble. |

Great paper bauble - but what a shame the glass bauble looked gorgeous. Have a lovely weekend
Oh no, how traumatic! The paper bauble looks lovely though.
