Crafting Christmas Baubles

January 15, 2026

This tutorial demonstrates creating three unique Christmas bauble designs in SOLIDWORKS, each with different shapes, colours, and decals. The baubles are modelled as parts with configurations for bell, round, and teardrop shapes, using revolve features. Appearances and decals are applied at part level via display states for precise control, using techniques like cylindrical mapping and alpha channel transparency. The designs are assembled with caps and strings, then added to a Christmas tree model. Finally, the assembly is imported into SOLIDWORKS Visualize for rendering, where lighting, appearances, and camera settings are adjusted to produce a festive final image.
