Are you tired of the same old decorations you use year after year? Embrace a handmade Christmas this year with our DIY fabric bauble tutorial. Fabric baubles are an easy and fun craft project for all the family and can be bought out year after year to put on the Christmas tree.

Using small amounts of fabric, polystyrene balls, ribbon and pins this fabric bauble is perfect to hang on your tree or make several for a festive garland on the fireplace. Experiment with fabric designs, ribbons, and polystyrene sizes for personalised Christmas décor. We’ve used the Magical Forest Navy fabric and a tartan red trim but you could use any Christmas fabrics.
