Glitter Christmas Ornaments:
Christmas
is around the corner, and it's time to deck the halls and decorate the
Christmas tree! Why not create glitter Christmas ornaments using three
simple items: clear glass ornaments, glitter, and Murphy's Oil Soap.
That's right, Murphy's Oil Soap! Remove the silver top from the clear
glass ornament. Pour Murphy's Oil Soap inside the ornament, just enough
to cover the inside completely. Pour the excess out into the bottle by
resting the clear glass ornament upside down on the top of the bottle.
Once the oil has emptied, pour any color glitter inside the ornament
and move it around until the inside is completely covered. That's it!
You now have stunning ornaments to hang on the tree, string as a
garland, or compile inside a decorative bowl!
Supplies:
- clear glass ornaments
- glitter
- Murphy's Oil Soap
Paper Mache Christmas Ornaments:
Christmas
is a special time of year to make memories! So let's create some
simple yet memorable Christmas ornaments that will last a lifetime. Mix
one part water to one part Modge Podge. Next, tear strips of newspaper
into 1/4 inch strips. It's easier to tear from the top to the bottom
of the newspaper. Soak the strips of newspaper in the Modge Podge
mixture. Apply the strips onto the ornament until the ornament is
completely covered. Continue this process until there is a noticeable
difference in the texture and thickness. Hang to dry overnight. Once
dry, paint a solid base color and then it's time to be creative. Paint
snowflakes, polka dots, stripes, etc. Allow to dry and hang with
ribbon, raffia, or even wire.
Supplies:
- clear glass ornaments
- newspaper
- Modge Podge/ water
- acrylic paint
- ribbon, raffia, wire
