Do you feel the festive season is the one time when less isn’t more? Then let’s get out the glitter!
The more you mess, the more festive it gets!
Brush glue on half of the bauble and dip it in glitter. Fill another bauble with glitter confetti and paint pretty patterns on a third bauble with glitter glue. Sprinkle a little loose glitter in the same colour over the glue for an extra sparkling effect. The best thing about glitter is the more you mess, the more festive it gets!
