STEP 2: once the paint is dry, cover the the front of the  BAUBLES with blue and pink STICKLES -glitter glue or dry glitter. use your fingers to smudge the glitter on the baubles for even coverage.

STEP 3: measure the back side of the baubles and cut pieces of pattern paper and pictures to fit it. ink the edge of the pattern paper shapes.

STEP 4: cut out the sentiments from the paper pad and die cut different embellishments using cardstock and KAISERCRAFT dies. 

STEP 5: assemble everything together using double sided tape and mounting foam tape as shown on the picture. add rhinestones to decorate the die-cuts.

STEP 6: add the ribbon bow and a small white flower. to create the hanger for the bauble, use pink and blue hemp cord.
