Glitter Ornaments!

Have you ever seen the movie Elf? (It is one of my favorites! )If you haven't, it's about a child who sneaks into Santa's bag and is raised by an older Elf in the North Pole. Buddy believes he is an Elf. It's funny. Check it out if you haven't seen it! That being said...

 I LOVE Christmas time. A few people jokingly refer to me as "Buddy" (the elf)  I like baking, and Christmas carols, and crafts, and the shows, the change in spirit people seem to have...you name it. I am going to share some of my Christmas activities and my most recent is glitter ornaments. Goose and I made some and I think they turned out cute!

They are SUPER easy to make, and take just minutes!

I bought the ornaments and glitter at Michael's (on sale!) I also bought an oil based Sharpie paint pen. The Pledge is the secret. I got it at Wal-Mart for less than $5, but I saw some generic mop and shine at Dollar General. It has acrylic protection and it's clear. I saw a yellow version, but it may discolor the glitter. I haven't tried it.



The first step is to take the metal tops of the ornament and put in a tiny amount of floor cleaner in the ornament. I swished it around the inside to coat it.





After it was coated, I poured out the remaining floor cleaner. (I just poured it into the next ornament) Then, I poured the glitter into the ornament and swished/shook it so that all the glitter stuck to the floor cleaner.

After you finish let them dry with the cap off. Once they are dry you can put the tops back on and decorate with ribbon or use a paint marker to write on them.

These are some different ideas on how you could dress them up!

So easy, and you can personalize them anyway you want to! Happy Crafting!
