Add holiday
sparkles to ordinary glass ball christmas ornaments for fabulous
wedding favors at Christmas time.
Applying glitter
is a great way to revive ordinary colored ball christmas ornaments
you already own. All you need is glue, along with glitter, and a
little imagination to create any design you like. You can also
personalize a christmas ornament / christmas wedding favor by writing
someone's name on the side. Use the nozzle of the glue bottle to
write the name, then apply glitter. Date the other side using the
same method, and you've created a holiday keepsake christmas wedding favor.
You Will Need:
• Cookie sheet
• Kitchen
aluminum foil
•
3-inch-diameter pink glass ball christmas ornament
with removable
metal cap
• 6-inch
square Styrofoam block
• Drinking straw
• High-tack
white glue
• Micro
glitter in coordinating color
Directions
1. Cover cookie
sheet with aluminum foil. Remove cap from glass christmas ball and
set aside.
2. To facilitate
decorating, place Styrofoam block on cookie sheet and stick straw in
center. Insert cap end of glass christmas ball on straw.
3. Make swirl
design or other desired design on surface of christmas ball with
nozzle of glue bottle.
4. Sprinkle
glitter over glued areas. Let dry completely. Shake off excess
glitter. Replace cap.
