1. DIY Christmas baubles with twine

The Christmas balls with twine are a very simple "decorative idea to make but very impressive for their delicate elegance."
The necessary to make them is:

• string
• Balloons
• Vinyl glue
• water

Procedure: inflate a small balloon and close it well with a knot; add the glue to the water in a bowl, then dip the string. Once the string is wet, wrap it around the balloon in a messy way (in this way it will look like your Christmas balls were bought in a store of Christmas items!) and wait for the glue to dry. Once the glue is dry, pierce the balloon and carefully remove it. Now your balls are ready to be placed on your tree!
If you want to add an even more sophisticated touch to your Christmas tree, after placing the fairy lights on it, fit the balls of twine around them, as if they were small lanterns.
