Description
This beaded velvet bauble is a soft blush pink decoration for the Christmas tree, round and plush to the touch. A band of tiny pale pink beads circles its middle, dotted with iridescent sequins that throw back flashes of lilac, gold and blue as the tree lights twinkle around it. A silver-coloured cap sits at the top, threaded with a fine silver cord, so it is ready to hang as it is. It is 8cm wide and 8cm deep, a comfortable size that holds its own among the branches without crowding its neighbours.
We think it suits a tree dressed in soft, pale tones, where the blush velvet and tiny beads sit happily beside white, silver, rose gold or clear glass decorations. It looks just as pretty on a deep green tree, where the pink stands out against the needles and the sequins pick up the glow of the lights. Hang it at eye level so the beading can be seen up close, near the front of the tree where guests will notice it. Away from the tree, it can hang from a hook or a cupboard handle for a small festive touch in a hallway or bedroom. Wrapped in tissue, it makes a thoughtful Christmas gift for anyone who loves pink, or a pretty extra tucked into a festive hamper.
The ball is covered in soft velvet with a gentle sheen, and the band of beads and sequins is set around its widest point, so it looks the same from every side. Velvet is best kept dry, so dust it lightly with a soft dry brush or cloth rather than wiping it. After Christmas, wrap it in tissue and store it in a box so the beading stays neat and the velvet pile stays plush, ready to bring a blush of pink back to the tree next December.
