DIY Heart Baubles


I recently got engaged and am underway organising my engagment party. I love doing crafts and wanted to make some of the decorations myself. I found this great tutorial on how to make 3D Heart Christams Baubles so I followed the pattern, except my baubles have five sides instead of seven.


Materials needed:

  • Scrapbooking paper (mine is double sided, twice the amount of designs)
  • Bakers Twine
  • Glue
  • Scissors


Step 1.

Using a template cut out all your shapes. For my design you wil use five hearts to make the bauble.



Step 2.

Fold all your hearts in half, with the design you want on the inside of the fold.



Step 3.

Glue one out side of your heart only.



Step 4.

Using another heart, press one side of it to the glued edge of the other heart.

Press down firmly and make sure the hearts are even from top to bottom.

Repeat this until you have one more heart to glue down.



Step 5.

Add glue to the whole side of the heart and place the bakers twine down the middle of the two hearts.

Using the last heart, press it to the glued sides.

Press down and once again make sure the hearts are even from top to bottom.


 
Here is your final product. I decided to make nine but I may make more depending on the rest of my decorations for the engagement party.
