Instructions
Step 1. Gather your supplies. | |
Step 2. Use (2) Straight Pins to secure the ribbon into the foam ball for hanging. | |
Step 3.
Cover the ball with glue. We have found it is easiest to pour some glue onto a small tray or paper plate and use a foam brush to apply. This helps the glue get into the crevices of the ball. | |
Step 4. Place ball over scrap paper or another paper plate and begin pouring on Glitter to cover the whole area. Set aside to dry. | |
Step 5.
Once dry, you may choose to decorate your glittered ornament further. Here’s a great tip for crafting with round materials. Use scissors to cut the bottom out of a paper cup, turn the cup upside down and place your materials on the stand created with the paper cup. | |
Step 6. For added decoration use Glitter Glue to create a design pattern, such as a polka dot. | |
Step 7. You can also experiment with other colors of glitter and materials to decorate. This example uses Red Glitter wrapped with green and silver Glitter Sticks. Mix and match your materials to make your Christmas tree shine! Watch our video for more holiday crafts using foam materials! |
