BAUBLE

 Hello

Welcome to my little crafting place! 

its the last challenge of 2023 over at the Daring Cardmakers this week, and this time I've gone 3D and made something to hang over our hearth

Jolly Crafty Christmas Time 2023

 One Word Prompt:

BAUBLE

What to make?  Anything Goes!

Its not just cards and its not just Christmas!
This week share any crafty project - Tags, Bags, Cards, Décor, Boxes - whatever you want, Christmas themed or not
just be inspired by the word 'Bauble'

See what the team made HERE 

I cut two of the largest of my Nested Stars set from a soft gold glitter card, 

Next using a bone folder and a ruler to add the fold lines then folded the mountain and valley folds to make the stars 3d,

 To fix the two stars togeher and have a glittery one of each side I cut lenghts of scrap card and made hinges which were glued to the inside of the points and were much more fiddly than i'd hoped!

Before sticing ht top point and the opposite indent I added gold twine to use for the hanging cord and the decorative beads at the bottom.

I cut a coule of smaller stars in mirror card, folded in the same way and glued one to each side of the star. I added a glitter card snowflake and a pretty flat backed gem to each side,

The bead hangings are a randon selection of beads I had to hand threaded on gold twine and then attached to the twine I'd glued inside the star.  I added a gold ribbon bow that I think came from a cracker at some time!

A few more beads at the top and some knots along the length to give several choices for hanging up the star
