You don't need much for this easy Christmas craft with children:
- Christmas ball – color and number of your choice
- Acrylic paints – brown, black and red
- black felt-tip pen
Pour a bit of brown acrylic paint onto a plate or shallow container. Each child should only dip the surface of one finger, for example their thumb, into the paint and then leave a mark on the glass ball, but do not press too hard so that the fine glass breaks. The thumb is dipped into the paint again and then pressed again onto the surface of the glass ball.
When the brown paint dries up completely, you or the child themselves paint two black dots for the eyes and a larger one in red for the deer's red nose. The deer horns are best drawn with a black felt-tip pen. When all the colors are dry, you have your customized Christmas baubles ready. Hang them anywhere in the home or give them to your relatives as a small gift that will be remembered.
The transparent glass balls can be filled with any small, colorful objects of your choice that create beautiful chaotic patterns. Lego bricks, colorful cotton balls, beads, glitter, glass stones, even pieces of fabric are inserted if their size is smaller than the opening of the glass ball. Then just insert the ball hanger and hang the original Christmas ball on the Christmas tree. When the Christmas season is over, the small elements can be removed from the glass sphere and used as desired.

Pay attention to the beautiful arrangement of the matches, as this gives the visually attractive structure.
