DIY Glitter Ornaments

I love the look of glitter. But, I hate glitter itself. It gets everywhere, falls on everything and it's hard to get rid of. Someone put glitter all over my co-worker's desk in June for her birthday. It's November now and she is still finding glitter.

I found this tutorial on Pinterest: http://www.plumadorable.com/make-your-own-glitter-ornaments/

They were so beautiful and the glitter was INSIDE!!!

I went to Joann's and picked up a 16 pack of glitter samples and 18 clear ornaments (one broke and the other I put extra glitter and some acrylic paint inside). Then at Safeway I got some MopNGlo. I have no idea why the MopNGlo helps the glitter stick but, it does.

Set up a station with newspaper or a cardboard box because this gets messy. I also used a shot glass to help rest the ornament if I needed an extra hand.

Remove the silver tops of the ornaments, swirl in some MopNGlo making sure to get the entire inside coated. Drain the remainder into the MopNGlo container. Use a Q-Tip to get rid of bubbles or excess in the opening. Pour in your glitter, shake to coat all areas, replace silver top and hang!
