I have some plain baubles and was thinking of decorating them, any ideas?

i used icing tubes used for deccorating cakes! just make sure you dont have a dog or they'll lick it off like mine did :rotfl:
Other than that? tipex pens will come out white??, then you can colour over the white to make it colourful..

Can't help with the OP's question (sorry)
But was wondering when you said big baubles ... how big??
I have just bought these from ikea ...
picture not very good, but I can take one next to a normal sized bauble if that helps!Raising kids is like being held hostage by midget terrorists0 -
I found a site with details.
glitter pen and loose glitter/pva glue works apparently - incase anyone also needed help!

I work in a Nursery School & the children each made one for their parents
They covered the Bauble in PVA Glue,then sprinkled tiny coloured beads all over it
They looked really pretty http://cache3.asset-cache.net/xc/200408224-001.jpg?v=1&c=IWSAsset&k=2&d=8A33AE939F2E01FF18E8322F2324D5B82A1ACC9A5B658D569CAD7D4A326D303700123AA3B5A18ED00 -
