Rosemary Bauble

Stamped Bauble

A stamped bauble offers a personalized touch. Start with a ceramic bauble. It can be any color, but it should be light enough to show the ink of the stamp.

Then use a stamp and ink set to spell out your recipient’s name on the surface. Once again, the ink of the stamp can be any color but make sure it is dark enough to show up on the bauble. Let the bauble dry.

Once dried, attach twine to the top so you can hang it.

Calligraphy Initial Bauble

This one is a little more complicated than the rest. Hold a clear bauble securely in your hand. Us a gold sharpie to draw the recipient’s initial on the surface doing your best to give it a curly, calligraphy appearance. If you make a mistake, nail polish remover will remove the ink.

Once dried, tie a ribbon to the top for hanging.

Paper Bauble

To make a paper bauble, take two pieces of card and draw a doughnut shape in each one. Cut out the templates. Put the templates together and wrap wool around them. Keep going until you can no longer push the wool through the donut hole.

Cut the wool around the outer edge of the donut, then split the two bits of card and tie a piece of wool around the middle. Tear off the card and attach a piece of ribbon to drape it off the tree branch.
