A few years ago I saw a charming paper bauble in a Christmas magazine but only now when I saw the
Docrafts challenge 'Deck the Halls' I remembered the bauble and created a prototype to see how it works out. I chose cool colours (white/grey/glitter/blueish)

For this project I recycled the 'past' by using old Christmas cards. How to:
* choose a colour scheme which you like
* cut out 21 same sized circles
* on each circle draw a triangle with same length sides touching the edge of the circle at all three points
* score and fold along the lines of the triangles
* top and bottom: for each glue 5 circles together along the flaps so that they form a long line and then join them for a bigger circle
middle part: glue together the remaining 10 circles so that they form a long line and then join them for a bigger circle
* glue the top and the bottom to the middle circle
* pierce the top and bottom and thread a ribbon or thread through
You can also add your personal touch by using buttons, pearls, etc for decorating the bauble even further.
Have a nice weekend, Petra.
