I found these glitter ornaments on Pinterest. I thought they would make the perfect gifts for my students this year so I decided to give them a try.
They were so easy to make.
I started with clear ornaments that I bought at Hobby Lobby.
I also purchased some Glitter It glue. This worked perfectly and a little bit goes a long ways. I have seen several tutorials that say you can use floor wax instead of this glue.
I bought three different colors of extra fine glitter. I wanted to do more colors, but glitter isn't exactly cheap.
My other supplies were 4 plastic cups and two funnels. I used the funnel to pour the glue into an ornaments. Swish the glue around so that the entire inside is covered and then pour the excess into one of your plastic cups.
I then used another funnel to pour in the glitter. Swish it around until the entire inside is covered. Pour the excess into another plastic cup. I had a plastic cup for each color of glitter so that I could reuse that glitter.
They dried quickly, as in almost instantly. You can't let the glue sit around very long before adding the glitter. You can't pour glue in all of them and then go back and add glitter. It dries too quick.
I then cut out my students' names in vinyl with my inspiration, which is like a cricut.
I have to say I absolutely LOVE how these turned out. I thought it was a sweet and personal gift for my students. And it didn't cost me a lot of money.
They all seemed to really like them.
Who doesn't love something with their name on it?
