How to make
Paint the baubles your chosen colours using the acrylic paints. You will probably need to paint several coats to get a nice even finish.
Leave to dry.
Apply the gilding paste to the part of the bauble you wish to foil. Leave the gilding paste for 10-15 minutes, and gently press the silver leaf onto the pasted area. You may need to add a second layer if you do not get the desired effect. Simply repeat the process until you are happy!
Using a pencil, draw or trace your calligraphy design onto any painted part of the bauble. Your design can be quite rough at this stage, just make sure you don't press too hard into the paint so that your pencil lines can be rubbed away later.
Using a paint pen, re-trace your pencil lines to finish the design.
Depending on the style of calligraphy you want, you can add to the width of your pen lines using the paint pens. If there is any pencil showing, you can either cover it with more paint or rub it away.
When finished, leave to dry completely and then thread a length of ribbon through to make a hanging loop.
