We'd all love a touch of Scandi decoration in our homes but, understandably, sometimes the budget doesn't quite stretch to these little accessories - here's how you can make your own for half the price!

You will need

  • Ribbon
  • Clear fillable baubles
  • Foliage (holly leaves, acorns etc.)
  • Rust-Oleum super sparkly glitter (gold and silver)
  • Rust-Oleum rose gold metallic

Step 1

Gather foliage and ensure it is completely dry before starting your bauble project.

Move the foliage to a well-ventilated space and place on top of a dust sheet or some old newspaper.

Step 2

Take your chosen colours from the Rust-Oleum range and shake your spray can thoroughly. Hold the can approximately 30cm from the surface of the foliage and spray. Apply several light coats a few minutes apart and leave to dry in a well-ventilated area.

For this project Rust-Oleum super sparkly glitter spray paint in gold and silver and Rust-Oleum rose gold metallic were used.

Step 3

Once dry, pop your foliage inside the fillable baubles.

Step 4

Tie your baubles with colourful pieces of ribbon and place them on your tree or around your home.
