With right sides together, sew the bauble together along the side seam using yarn. Sew the top together and pull the yarn to help gather the top.
Turn right sides out.
Stuff the bauble with filler and sew the bottom gap shut, pulling the yarn to tighten and gather the bauble shape. Use a piece of the yarn to make a loop on top of the bauble.
