SHE’S known for being a keen crafter, so it’s no surprise that Stacey Solomon is getting creative this Christmas.
The Loose Women star, who regularly shares crafting videos with her social media following, has shared how to make your own giant baubles this festive season – and everyone’s loving the idea.
Stacey, 33, uploaded a video to her TikTok account @staceysolomon where she filmed herself transforming some children’s footballs into a home decoration most would envy.
The mum-of-four began by taking a Peppa Pig and a Paw Patrol ball and spray painting them in her chosen colour scheme – cream and brown.
Then Stacey waited until they were almost dry, before starting to decorate them.
Stacey, who is married to Joe Swash, explained: “I let them dry, but not completely, and dab on some glitter while they’re still a bit tacky. Then you can spread it around nicely.”

Once the main bauble was created, it was time to make the top of the decoration.
To do this, the TV presenter took a gold paper cup, cut the top off and then cut slits along the bottom.
Stacey then said: “I’m going to cut a load of slits along the bottom, fold up every other slit and cut them, so then it’ll look like the top of a bauble.”
But don’t discard any of the cup, as Stacey continued: “Use the rim you cut off before as the handle bit.”

Once the bauble topper was ready to be put onto the bauble, Stacey said it was as simple as putting some glue on the parts that stick out and pressing it onto the bauble.
She concluded: “And voila! Giant Baubles – they’re the best thing I’ve ever seen, I love them!
“And after I could probably jet wash these in the summer and they’ll be back to the ugly balls they were before.”
The former X Factor contestant then encouraged her followers to try it for themselves, as she said: “Make Giant Baubles with me. I love these!
They’re the best thing I’ve ever seen, I love them!
“Super easy but so pretty. Lots of you asked for more crafts so here you go, hope you love it.”
And they certainly did, as they flocked to the comment section to tell her they thought it was a great idea and that they’d like to try it for themselves.
