What is in one year is pass\u00e9 the next. The Christmas tree - and especially the decoration - has become very trendy. Are you also starting to get the itch and fancy something new on the tree? Then give your old baubles a <em>upgrade<\/em> with a simple ball of string. Good for your wallet, better for the planet and with these DIY Christmas balls, you'll make your tree fit really stand out from the rest.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DIY rope baubles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Around the holidays, we throw away a lot together. From wrapping paper to plastic <em>bling<\/em> for the tree: the mountain of waste grows every year. By reusing or pimping up decorations, you not only save money, but also resources and emissions. And believe us: homemade Christmas decorations are just so much more fun. You make something unique that no one else has and that makes you happy. Besides, this DIY is really easy. You don't have to be a tinkerer. With some string, glue and old baubles, you're all set. And because it is a repetitive job, it is also ideal to do with children. Turn on a cosy Christmas playlist, put an old newspaper on the table and before you know it, you have a whole collection of new \u2018rope balls\u2019 for the tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div

classic Christmas tree or looking for a modern twist, you can go either way with this DIY for baubles. The style of your baubles depends entirely on the rope you choose. Thick wool in a bright colour gives a cheerful and eye-catching look, while thin twine or jute gives a natural, rustic feel. So you can effortlessly adapt this DIY to your Christmas style.
