🎄 Materials You’ll Need

• Clear fillable bauble (plastic or acrylic)
• Red, brown and gold glitter
• Craft glue or PVA
• Small paintbrush

• Ribbon for hanging
• Scissors
• Pencil

🪶 Step‑by‑Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Bauble

Open the fillable bauble and place it on a flat surface. Lightly brush glue inside one half.

2. Add the Robin’s Red Breast

Sprinkle red glitter into the glued area to create the robin’s chest. Tap gently to remove excess.

3. Create the Brown Body

Brush glue onto the remaining inner surface and add brown glitter. Allow both halves to dry fully before closing.

4. Add 3D Wings and Beak

Draw and cut out two small brown wings and a tiny red or orange beak from card. Glue the wings to the outside of the bauble for a raised 3D effect. Attach the beak near the centre front.

5. Add Gold Glitter Accents

Use a fine brush to apply glue in small areas around the bauble. Dust with gold glitter for a festive sparkle.

6. Close and Finish

Once dry, close the bauble securely. Thread ribbon through the top and tie a loop for hanging.
