I’ve been collecting pretty glass baubles for our Christmas tree for a number of years. But the closure of one of my favourite local stores and the lack of pretty baubles this year has meant I’ve not added as many to my collection as normal. Everything this year appears to have been attacked with a glitter gun! So I decided to make a couple of baubles.

A few weeks ago I stumbled across some amazing paper weaving work by PaperMatrix and I was determined to give it a try. These fabulously talented ladies have used Rhino software to create 3D woven paper spheres. They make absolutely gorgeous large Christmas baubles!

So I got to work and made up Sphere 1, Sphere 2 and Sphere 3. Actually I made four sphere 1′s, getting the technique right. I tried with paper and with 200 gsm card. And whilst working with paper makes it easier, I didn’t like the finished product as much and so moved to working with card stock.
