Pretty paper baubles

Pretty paper baubles by Torie Jayne

The lovely peeps at new craft store Mushi Makes sent me a Tildas "Winter memories" paper pack . A beautiful pad of 24 double sided sheets of 230gsm acid and lignin free paper in seven different patterns, three of each plus three cut-out sheets. So to match my Vintage Christmas theme I made a bunch of pretty paper baubles dusted with coarse white glitter to hang on my white Christmas tree.
Here's how...

  • Using the paper-mate cutters smallest circle, with the blade on the inner line
  • Cut out two circles of paper from each printed sheet, so you have nine circles
  • Fold all the circles of paper in half
  • Stack circles on top of each other, Wrap a lenth of thread all the way around the stack, so that it runs along the fold. Tie ends together at top of bauble to secure.

  • Fold and unfold paper sections, so paper starts to fan out
  • Using a hot glue gun, place a dab of glue about 1/3 of the way up the top of the bauble, on the outside edge. Fold the facing flaps together and press to secure the glue.
  • On the next circle along, place a dab of glue about 1/3 of the way from the bottom.
  • Continue this all the way around, alternating high and low glue dabs.
