Materials Needed

Before we get started on the different types of baubles you can make, here are some basic materials you'll need:

• Clear plastic or glass baubles
• Ribbon or twine
• Hot glue gun
• Decorative items (such as paint, glitter, beads, and stickers)

Painted Baubles

If you're looking for a simple yet elegant design, painted baubles are the way to go. You can use acrylic or spray paint to achieve the desired color. One idea is to paint half of the bauble in one color and the other half in a complementary shade. You can also use stencils or painters tape to create patterns or designs.

Glitter Baubles

If you want to add some sparkle to your tree, glitter baubles are a great option. You can use a clear glue and sprinkle glitter over the bauble, or you can mix the glitter with the glue before applying it. For a more subtle look, try using a single color of glitter. Alternatively, you can use multiple colors for a more festive vibe.
