Description
These paper bauble tree decorations bring a quiet, deep blue note to the Christmas tree, each one a round honeycomb ball edged in fine gold. The paper is folded into rows of diamond cells, and every fold carries a thin gold line, so the baubles catch the light softly as the tree lights glow around them. Each bauble measures 10cm across, a good size to sit among the branches without crowding them, and hangs from a slim blue cord loop at the top, ready to slip straight over a branch.
We like them on a tree dressed in deep blues, golds and creams, or mixed in among glass baubles for a change of texture. Away from the tree, they hang happily from a garland along the mantelpiece, a stair rail, a window latch or a bare twig arrangement in a tall vase, and a few hung at different heights in a window or a doorway make a simple seasonal display. With their gold edges and rich colour, they also make a thoughtful small Christmas gift for anyone who loves a darker, more grown-up scheme, added to a festive hamper or a stocking.
Each bauble is layered paper folded into its honeycomb, with the gold picked out along the edge of every fold. Paper is happiest in a dry room, so we suggest keeping them indoors and well away from damp, candles, open flames and hot bulbs or radiators. A gentle brush with a soft dry cloth, or a light puff of air, lifts away dust; never wipe them with water. When the season ends, store them in a roomy box so the folds keep their shape for the following Christmas. For a relaxed look, hang them in odd numbers at varied heights, and let the deep blue sit beside warm white lights.
