How to make photo Christmas baubles

1. Transfer picture to wood with glue (AKA Deco Pudge!)

-    Gather your flat wooden bauble, laser printout, Deco Pudge, and paintbrush

-    Make sure your laser printout is the correct size to fit your bauble

-    Paint a thin, even coat of Deco Pudge onto the surface of the wooden bauble

-    Carefully place the printout face side down onto the bauble

-    Press the print firmly to ensure full, even contact with the bauble’s surface

2. Weight and cure

-    Place a heavy book over the bauble to apply consistent pressure

-    Allow the Deco Pudge to cure for up to 12 hours

3. Make your own photo bauble

-    Once dry, cut away the excess paper around the edges of the bauble

-    Dampen a sponge

-    Gently remove the paper pulp by rubbing the sponge in small circles on the paper

-    Take your time and don’t rush – the more gentle you are the better your print will be

-    Once your image is revealed, gently work away the rest of the pulp until clear

-    Leave to dry once more, paint the top of the bauble silver, then seal with Deco Pudge

-    Thread a ribbon through the bauble for hanging

Hang your heartfelt decoration on the tree or give it to a loved one for a thoughtful gift.
