Description
This onion bauble is a Christmas tree decoration made from white paper folded into a honeycomb, opening out into a full, rounded shape that narrows to a neat point at the top and a small drop at the base. At 12cm, it sits comfortably on a branch, and the folded leaves catch the light as you walk past, so the white looks soft and layered rather than flat. There is no glitter, print or paint, just crisp folds and a clean white finish that suits a contemporary look. A fine white hanging loop runs from the top point, ready for a branch or a hook.
It is made for Christmas, and it works wherever you want a quiet, wintry touch. Hang it on the tree among glass and metal baubles, or from a mantelpiece, a curtain pole or a window frame where the daylight shows off its folds. Above a dining table or along a staircase garland, it brings a calm white note that sits happily with silver, wood, greenery and linen. With no colour beyond white, it fits a Scandinavian style tree as easily as a frosted one, and it makes a pleasing small extra to tuck into a Christmas hamper for someone who loves a simple, considered look.
The honeycomb is formed from folded paper sections, so treat it gently: hold it by the loop and handle the leaves lightly to keep their crisp edges. Keep it indoors, away from damp, steam and direct heat, and well clear of candles and hot bulbs. To clean, dust it with a soft, dry brush or cloth, never water. When the tree comes down, wrap it in tissue and store it in a box where it will not be crushed, ready to hang again next December. We like it hung where fairy lights shine across it, so the white paper picks up a warm glow.
