This small disco balls I found in the Christmas department of an furniture shop. I thought they would be for hanging on the Christmas tree, but unfortunately the balls should be used as deco confetti. I noticed (usually) only when I was home.

From this shoe ornaments I made 3 pairs, the first prototype, in which I have “practiced” I will keep myself and the other two pairs will be given away as Christmas gifts to dear friends.
