Glitter Ornament



Christmas is my favorite time of year. I start celebrating Christmas a lot earlier than I probably should!! But that doesn't stop me! I am so excited to get
 started on all my Christmas crafts for this year. I am so thankful for starting this blog so I can go back and see what I made without having to get all the decorations down! I made some stuff for my mantel last year and I can not remember anything that I made for it. That is sad!! 


What you will need: 
Pledge Floor Care  
Plastic or Glass Clear Ornament (Michael's, Joann) 
Glitter

Step 1: Take the top off your ornament. Be careful to not bend the top.


Step 2: Squirt a small amount of pledge floor care in the ornament. Sounds crazy but the pledge acts as your glue to keep the glitter in place and it dries clear! 
Do not shake the ornament as it will create bubbles!! Just gently swirl the ornament around making sure you cover everything. Pour the rest back in the bottle. 
I turned my ornament as I poured the liquid back in the bottle to make sure I covered the very top. You don't see that part once you put the top back on though. 
Just a personal preference. You will want to work quickly on steps 2 and 3 so it doesn't dry.


Step 3: Now the glitter!! I made a funnel from a piece of paper but if you have a funnel on hand that works too! Pour more glitter than you think in the ornament. 
Now start to slowly spin the ornament to cover the inside with the glitter. Go over places a few times just to make sure you don't miss anything! 
The tricky part is getting the glitter back in the bottle if you are using a small bottle of glitter like I am. That is when the paper comes in handy because you can form it to fit in the bottle. Now pour your excess glitter back in the bottle.
 Pop the top back in your ornament and put on your tree to enjoy!!
