I just got done making my glass glitter ornaments! I might put some vinyl words on them but I haven't decided yet! They have way more sparkle to them in the sun, but that (the sun) is starting to set! Thought you might like to see them.....  |

Thanks girls! Here's the how to!
To make an ornament like this, you start with the clear glass ball ornaments that can be purchased at places like Michaels, Hobby Lobby, etc. Remove the hanger, and pour in a small amount of Future (Pledge) clear floor finish. (available at Walmart) Swirl the Future around in the ornament coating the inside well, then turn the ornament upside down over the bottle of Future to drain the excess back into the bottle. Next, using an ultra fine glitter (like Martha Stewart's), pour a small amount into the ornament and just like the Future, "roll" around the ornament until the whole inside is coated. Pour the excess back into your glitter bottle. Replace the hanger and decorate the outside, if desired!

I put some vinyl on one of the ornaments yesterday. I'm going to change out the ribbon, and add something else, too! Here's a pic of what it looks like now. When I get them done, and the sun is out (it was gloomy today), then I will repost!  |

Oh yes, Judy and girls! Please do make them! They are the simpliest thing in the world to make! And, you just won't believe how beautiful the sparkle is!
They were so much fun to make, and it takes very little time!
