The most beautiful Christmas tree balls are definitely the homemade ones. The filigree glass baubles become a very special creative highlight in your Christmas decoration with Napkin technique and glitter.

Instructions:

Cut out the napkin motif, remove the two layers of white paper, apply the spray adhesive to the back of the printed layer. Glue the motif onto the glass ball and carefully smooth out the wrinkles that result from the curves with your finger. Then apply the Napkin varnish with a fine napkin brush.

Important: Work the edges very carefully so that they do not come off after baking. However, no Napkin varnish should be applied to the glass, otherwise it remains visible as a clear edge.

After drying, dab the Frost-Effect paint with the sponge swab brush on the free areas, let it dry
Put the ball in the cold oven and heat it up to 160°C. Once the temperature is reached, bake the balls for 30 minutes, then let them cool in the oven.

Apply small dots of "Dekofix" to the frosted areas and use a needle to make a snowflake.
Sprinkle blue iris-glitter, tap off excess material and collect it, so it can be used again. Once the Dekofix is dry, use a soft brush to wipe away any loose particles on the balls. Paint on the napkin motif with a silver glitterliner effect.

Finally, hang up the finished balls with white Satin ribbon , tie small bows, fix them on the balls with Glitter Liner as "icing on the cake".

This idea is timelessly beautiful!
