Art of receiving guests
Personalizziamo le sfere dell'albero di Natale
(Make personal our Christmas decorations)

Our idea is to buy unbreakable balls for Christmas tree; they mustn't be decorated and they must be monochromatic.
Then we make them personal and original according to our taste and fancy.
In this way we realized an unusual Christmas tree and some balls to hang on a wall or on a ceiling ... or where you want.

You will need

  • Unbreakable monochromatic Christmas balls;
  • Colors in flakes;
  • Paper;
  • Scissors;
  • Removable glue;
  • Liquid glue.

Time

Unsettled.

This year we've thought to put our monogram on Christmas balls.
Their realizations is very simple. It's enough to draw on paper and then cut very carefully the chosen monogram (your first name initial, your firm "logo"..), adapting their size to your balls.
You can also realize them with the help of your computer.
You've to make a sufficient quantity of monograms for all the balls; in fact you'll ruin every monogram when you make every ball. You've to stick every monogram on every ball with removable glue, then you've to brush some liquid glue on the area and fix the chosen color in flakes.
Let it dry for about an hour and then, with the help of tweezers, you've to take away the monogram. The result is a very sparkling area with the mark of your monogram well outlined.

We also realized a Christmas tree with this idea. You can see in the photo how we arranged all the red, blue, golden and white balls on the tree.
We left our paper monograms on the blue balls because they looked like more beautiful to us.
We gave the finishing touch to our tree with some intermittent lights and golden and silver ribbons.
