DIY: Glitter Ornaments


I love to make these ornaments around Christmas time! They are quick and easy, not to mention INEXPENSIVE! The initial purchase is a little more than subsequent purchases, but WORTH IT!

WHAT YOU NEED: 

Supplies

1. Clear ornaments
2. Glitter
3. Pledge Florence Care - Floor Shine
4. Something to cover your work station
****Not pictured: funnel or piece of paper turned into a funnel.

SET UP: 
-cover your area to keep it clean.

PROCESS: 
1. Take off the little cap on the ornament.
TIP: BE VERY CAREFUL as the cap is made of very flimsy material and easily bends! If it does get bent NO WORRIES! Just clip it back to the ornament and reshape.


2. Pour a small amount of the Pledge into the ornament.
TIP: A small amount goes a LONG way!

3. Spin the ornament around coating the inside with the pledge. Hold it up to a light and you will be able to easily see the dry spots of the ornament.

4. Turn the ornament upside down on top of the Pledge and let the excess run out.
TIP: Do nor skip this step! If you do it will make your glitter clump up in the end.

5. Place the funnel into the top of the ornament.

6. Pour in the glitter!!! Place your hand over the opening and shake the ornament. You may have to add glitter to the ornament to completely coat it.

7. Knock out the excess.

8. Replace the cap onto the ornament!

I used vinyl and my Cricut cutting machine to decorate the ornaments! You could also use puffy paints or paint pens! Be CREATIVE! I added ribbon to the top of the cap as well!
