Description
This paper bauble decoration brings a rich dark blue and a fine line of gold to the Christmas tree. It is made from folded paper in a honeycomb pattern, worked into an ornate tiered shape: a small rounded crown at the top, a wide full body through the middle and two smaller tiers tapering to a neat point at the base. Every fold is finished with a thin gold edge, so the layers catch the glow of the tree lights and pick out the outline. At 15cm, it is a generous size for a bauble, big enough to hold its own on the tree. A slim blue cord at the top lets it hang straight from a branch.
We like it best on a tree dressed in deep jewel tones, beside burgundy, emerald and gold, though it gives a bold point of colour on a white tree too. Hang it towards the outer branches, where its tiers can be seen in full. It works away from the tree as well: tie it to a mantelpiece garland, a stair rail or bare branches in a tall vase, and it brings a festive note to a hallway, living room or dining room. As a small Christmas gift, it is a thoughtful extra to tuck in with a card or a bottle when visiting.
The bauble is made from folded paper in honeycomb layers, with the gold edging running along each one. As with any paper decoration, it is happiest indoors in a dry room, so keep it clear of candles, heaters and damp. Dust it with a soft dry cloth or brush, and avoid water, which can mark paper. Between seasons, wrap it in tissue and box it somewhere dry so the folds keep their shape. For a finished look, hang it alongside plain gold baubles so its tiers and gilded edges stay the focus.
