Set of 3 Paper Bauble Christmas Tree Decorations 12cm - Green

This honeycomb paper bauble is a Christmas tree decoration with a simple, graphic outline: a rounded onion dome that swells out from a narrow top and tapers to a small point at the base. Its body is made of layer upon layer of paper opened out into a honeycomb, so the wavy cells catch the light and throw soft shadows across the surface. The colour is a dark green, deep enough to read almost as black in a dim corner, and it hangs from a fine green loop at the top. It measures 12cm tall and 14cm across, big enough to fill a gap between branches.

Hang it on the tree in the living room, where the dark green sits happily beside warm white lights, gold and brass, or against plain greenery for a quieter, more natural look. It hangs just as well from a mantelpiece garland, a window latch, a stair banister or a length of ribbon strung across an alcove. It suits a modern scheme that favours shape and texture over sparkle, and it mixes easily with the glass and wooden decorations already in your box. It also makes a thoughtful small Christmas gift for anyone who likes their decorating a little understated.

The honeycomb gives the paper a sculpted, textured surface with a crisp edge to every cell, and the matt finish keeps the colour rich rather than shiny. Paper is happiest kept dry, so hang it indoors away from steamy windows, and keep it clear of candles, open flames and heaters. Dust it gently with a soft dry cloth or a soft brush. When the season is over, store it in a box where nothing presses on it, so the honeycomb keeps its shape for the following Christmas. Tuck it into a gift with a card for a friend who loves a well-dressed tree.
