decorating xmas baubles

savingmummy

I have some plain baubles and was thinking of decorating them, any ideas?
What is the best thing to use regarding writing or drawing on them?

many thanks x

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..

Glitter glue? Not 100% sure it would stick though

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!

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=8A33AE939F2E01FF18E8322F2324D5B82A1ACC9A5B658D569CAD7D4A326D303700123AA3B5A18ED0

It's really simple to do - kids age 2 were doing it easily Obviously u can use lighter coloured beads. These are what the Children used http://www.photobabe.co.uk/PaperCapers/bargains/beads.gif
