BEDAZZLE BAUBLE
There’s nothing nicer than to
bedazzle your Christmas tree
with beautiful and shiny baubles
that you can see out of space –
and ten times better when you
have made them yourself.

LET’S GET STARTED…
Poke a pin through the sequin

the foam ball. Children can
cover the foam ball with sequins
and pins however they like.

the top of the foam ball and
push the ribbon in, which holds
it securely in place.
