How to Make Seedhead Baubles
The holiday season is here, and it's time to start thinking about decorations. If you're looking for a unique and eco-friendly way to decorate your home this year, why not try making seedhead baubles? These beautiful ornaments are made from natural materials and can be easily customized to match your decor. In this article, we'll show you step-by-step how to make your own seedhead baubles.
Materials You'll Need
To make seedhead baubles, you'll need the following materials:
- Seedheads (such as from dandelions or thistles)
- Clear plastic baubles
- Twine or ribbon
- Scissors
You can find clear plastic baubles at most craft stores or online. Seedheads can be found in nature, but make sure to gather them responsibly and avoid any protected areas.
Step 1: Prepare the Seedheads
Before you start, make sure your seedheads are dry and free of any bugs or debris. Cut off any stems or leaves that may still be attached. You can also spray the seedheads with hairspray to help preserve them and prevent any shedding.
Step 2: Fill the Baubles
Open up the clear plastic baubles and start filling them with your seedheads. You can mix and match different types of seedheads to create a unique look. Don't overfill the baubles, as they need to close securely.
Step 3: Add Ribbon or Twine
Once your baubles are filled, cut a length of twine or ribbon and tie it around the top of the bauble. Make sure to tie it tightly and leave enough excess twine or ribbon to hang the bauble.
Step 4: Customize Your Baubles
Now that you have your basic seedhead bauble, you can customize it to fit your style. You can add glitter or paint to the outside of the bauble, or attach small charms or beads to the twine or ribbon. The possibilities are endless!
Step 5: Hang and Enjoy!
Finally, hang your beautiful seedhead baubles on your tree or throughout your home. Not only will they add a unique touch to your decor, but they're also eco-friendly and sustainable. Plus, they make great gifts!
