Intro

Glistening tinsel, colourful garlands, floral wreaths and twinkling baubles are just some of the things that make Christmas, well, Christmas. This year, why not have a little fun making your own decorations to “deck the halls”? This activity shows you how to create bunting with a bauble design.

Simply print out the bauble templates onto card, decorate with pens, paints and glitter glue – and string together. Hang them anywhere at home to add a little festive cheer!

Top tip

Some people might want to draw their own baubles instead of using the templates. That’s great! Encourage their creativity.
