You can make surprisingly beautiful things out of scrap paper. You may already have known that. But did you know that you can also use scraps of gift paper, a stack of magazines or even an old paper bag to brighten up your baubles? Then you are already halfway through this DIY. You will pimp up your old baubles with it in no time. The result? Original, handmade decorations that give your Christmas tree that extra bit of character.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Pimping old baubles with scrap paper<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We all buy bins full of new Christmas decorations every year, which is actually quite a shame. Many decorations are made of plastic, full of glitter that gets stuck everywhere, and end up in the rubbish after a few seasons because we have had enough. With this simple DIY, you give existing items a second life and show that things can be done differently. You don't need special materials, and even a bit of mess is part of the job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas DIY: spruce up old baubles with paper<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n
Paper is perhaps the most versatile crafting material there is. You can tear it, cut it, glue it, overlay it. And every time it looks different. Use shiny wrapping paper for a festive look, or go for a vintage style with pieces from old books or magazines. A coat of varnish will make the ball extra sturdy and give it a nice shine. <\/strong>Tip<\/strong><\/em>: let children create their own \u2018edition\u2019 using comics or pictures from magazines. That way, the crafting itself becomes a party!<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
