DIY beaded baubles!

I'm all about the idea of accumulating a collection of handmade Christmas tree decorations and the past few years I've made some new ones each Christmas, here are last years stitched ones.
 
 
This year I am pretty glitter obsessed and decided to go for something a bit different. So I bought some plain red glass baubles and used PVA glue to stick on glass beads and glitter. I particularly like the glass heart which I added the initials of myself and my boyfriend (yes, a bit cheesy, get over it! :P ) I then added some matching red ribbon to hang them and, voila!
 
 
I'm well aware I could have just bought glitter baubles but then I would have missed out on an afternoon of glitter - filled fun! These were so easy to make and would be a nice craft for children, and you end up with something pretty and unique and lets be honest, at about £5 for three baubles, an absolute bargain! Do it, you know you want to! :)
