Patchwork Bauble


This is another bauble I have been longing to try and having found various tutorials on Pinterest I have managed to find time to make one for our tree.


They are quite challenging to make and this one isn't perfect but I am pleased with it. It took me about two hours and I did unpin some of the layers on the first side but the second side came along much better, The tricky thing is that you make one side and then the other and hope they meet. I added some lovely ribbons and glittery white berries. I do prefer making the pine cone baubles and they are much easier to make so this may be a one off.

I would like to enter this into the feeling festive challenge at Creative Inspirations.

I am feeling very organised for Christmas and hope you are too. We will be doing the housework this morning and then this evening we have been invited for dinner at friends.

I made six, gave two each to my family for their trees and warned them that the amount of time they took, consider them heirlooms! Lovely job Marianne
Merry Christmas to you and Graham xx
