DIY Bauble Tutorial!

Hi! So for my first ~ever~ post, i decided i'd do a simple diy for the holidays! I really like this diy, its so fun and simple. You dont really need to do this with music sheets, i just did it with them because i had a bunch left over from when i played xylophone. You could use any thin paper really, as long as it doesnt have too many dyes because it'd run in the glue. So! without further ado, i present to you my bauble diy!
Step 1- Make some typical coffee, without milk or any add-ons. You wont be drinking this!~
Step 2- Pour your coffee over your paper! i sat it in an old tray.
Step 3- Leave it on a heater for a bit, then put it back in the tray, after you've emptied the tray of all coffee.
Step 4- Rip the paper into big strips. Put them on aforementioned heater. you can see the difference between the dry and wet pieces.
Step 5- Again rip the paper, rip the plainer pieces of paper, these will be your undercoat.
Step 6- Mix some pva with water in a 1:2 ratio.
Step 7- Paint your bauble with the pva mixture, and add your plainer pieces.
Step 8- Once you've covered the whole bauble with paper, wait for it to dry a bit, then put your top pieces over it. Paint it with one final coat and leave it on the convector heater to dry,
You are done! I really like this one, you could add some glitter at the end to spice it up a bit.
Have a good day! -Emma
