Glitter Lyric Bauble DIY


My sister's Christmas Present is themed around her love of Broadway, each present is meant to be related to one of her favorite musicals (I'm so hoping she doesn't read this!). This one is based on Wicked, which is also one of my favourites, the songs are just amazing, and we love dueting Defying Gravity together. As a result I wanted this present to reflect our shared love of the songs. Cue this lyric bauble.
 All you'll need to recreate it is glitter, fine tipped glue, clear baubles and printouts of song lyrics.






All you have to do is write out any word you would like, such as the recipient's name or in my case the name of the musical in glue and then sprinkle glitter all over it. Then leave it to dry preferably overnight, in the mean time, you can cut up strips of paper with lyrics on and curl them by running them along a pair of scissors. Then once it's dry you can just fill the bauble with the curled strips and tie it together with some ribbon or twine. Then it's ready to go.
This present is obviously super adaptable- you could use song lyrics like I have, or a poem, book passages, strips of wedding invitations for new couples, it's really up to you. The colour of the glitter can be changed to match any scheme as can the word on the bauble.
So there we go, I'll be back soon with another DIY involving a clear bauble too...
