Christmas Ornaments


Hey Everyone! I just wanted to share a quick craft with you that I saw a similar tutorial for over on My Pink Stamper! I did it a little different and used some different products! I'm going to be putting these on a Christmas tree in my classroom! Hope you Enjoy!

Glittery Christmas Ornaments

 
For these super duper cute ornaments (or at Terrrget on SNL, eerrrnaments) you will need the following items:
Clear glass ornaments (Got mine at Hobby Lobby this weekend for half off! $3 for 12! Score!)
Pledge floor finish WITH Future. Around $6 at Super Wal Mart.
Super duper fine glitter. I got this last year @ Wal Mart after Christmas fro around $1
A handy dandy paper funnel (for the glitter mess...err...I mean fun)
And a makeshift eeerrrnament holder, a roll of Scotch tape! 
 
For the first step, you will remove the little metal top off of the ornament (sorry no pic!)
Then you will add quite a bit of Pledge floor finish to the ornament. It's kinda hard to tell but there is almost an inch in the ornament. SWIRL it around in the ornament.
*DO NOT shake! You will get bubbles!!!*
Next, dump the excess floor finish back in the bottle, rotating as you dump so you can get it in the neck of the ornament. If you want to do what I did, pour it in a second or even third ornament. 

Then you will insert your funnel (homemade or whatever you have at home) in the ornament and dump in a generous amount of glitter. It doesn't use much, but I wanna make sure it is coated well!

Once again, ROLL the glitter through the ornament. I then shake it very easy to get the neck of the ornament.

Then, dump the remaining glitter back into the jar. 

Viola! A yummy and EASY ornament for your tree!

Aren't they pretty?

Well, I wasn't quite done! I used my Cricut Expression and my Gypsy (not pictured for some reason...) and cut out the kiddo's names out of white vinyl.

Cute?

With the transfer paper over the vinyl cut name, ready to adhere!

Ta da! I did do the other kiddo's but haven't gotten a pic yet! I'm adding the tulle bows to the top of all of these! Can't wait to get them put on the tree in the room!
