How it's made
A round red bauble with a gold cap and a hanging loop, and not a single curved seam.
Glass baubles were first blown in Germany. In fabric, the round comes from snowball corners: sew a square on the corner and flip it.
Start at the top. Round a little gold bar with navy corners, then sew it over a navy square between two gold posts. That's the hanging loop.
A gold rectangle is the cap. Navy each side brings both rows to twelve and a half inches, with a navy strip on top.
Now the ball. Sew navy squares corner to corner on two red rectangles, trim and flip, and the corners turn round.
A white band trimmed in gold goes across the middle, like a painted glass ornament. Navy strips frame the sides.
Join the cap to the ball with a navy strip below, so neighbouring baubles never touch. Then hang it up.
Nine baubles and a red border make a festive wall hanging.

TIP: press the band seams toward the gold strips so the narrow gold lies flat and crisp.
OTHER SIZES: for an 18 × 21″ bauble, multiply each finished size by 1½ and add ½″: the red rectangles become 15½ × 5″ and their corners 5″.
