Found this is a charity shop and thought it was just a homemade Christmas tree bauble, but I did some Googling to find out what the technique was and it turns out it's a temari.
Temari are tradional Japanese decorations or toys given as New Year gifts, originally made from waste scraps of fabric and thread. You can learn how to make one here and here, and or cheat - buy one on Etsy!
