I was thinking of some new ideas to decorate our tree this
year and found so many of them online. I'd like to share one of these, the
Glamour Christmas balls* made mostly with recycled materials. The idea came from
Yulia ( bysiki shop on Etsy) who was making these for years for her holiday
tree. Julia lives and works in Moscow, Russia
and her shop is full of great products for a baby.
So to make these you will need:
a plastic grocery store bag for each ball (a great way to
give them a second life!)
1" wide lace ribbon or lace fabric, cut into 1"
wide stripes
sequins and beads
thread
fabric glue
needle
Form an even shaped ball from the plastic bag and secure it
with the threads. Add some glue to the surface to make sure it will stay in
place. Let it dry.
Wrap the lace ribbon around your ball. Now it's time to
decorate! Sew the sequins and beads on top of your ball, while securing your
lace from unwrapping with coordinating threads. Use your imagination to get the
best result!
Make a loop for hanging and here it is! Your new glamorous
Christmas ball is ready!

Pretty and romantic. Would be perfect on a Victorian or shabby chic tree.
