DSP Christmas Bauble

While discussing am upcoming workshop the hostess asked if I had any ideas for baubles she could use as gifts for a Mid Winter Christmas party she's planning. After searching my photos and tutorials I found that the one I use most often and is the easiest to put together was the one I didn't have any photos of.


So for Vicky and anyone else who is planning a Mid Winter Christmas party here are the instructions for a DSP Bauble. I did not invent this design and I can no longer remember where I saw it first. If it is your idea please let me know.

There's not much in the way of supplies or tools needed for this decoration: -


- 8 strips of Designer Series Paper - 1"x4" - I used Bella Rose DSP


- Crop A Dile or other hole making device


- Length of ribbon to match your paper tied in a loop. - I used 6mm Chocolate Chip Grosgrain

Place your DSP in a pile with alternate patterns up and punch a hole in each end in approx the same place.

Thread your ribbon through one hole and back through the other.

Use the ribbon to pull your paper strips into a C shape tying a knot at the top to hold it in place.

Fan out your paper strips to form a ball shape.



You can get four of these decorations out of one piece of 12x12 double sided paper and 54 out of a pack of designer series paper more than enough to decorate a Christmas tree.

I hope you enjoy these decorations and get lots made for your Mid Winter or End of Year Christmas celebrations.

I'd admired these cards an the blogs and websites of North American demonstrators so when Stampin' Up!® made the Top Note available in New Zealand it was one of the first dies I bought and this was one of the first cards I made.

I hope you find my video instructions helpful: -
