Glittery Ornaments

These were fun to make also. I took plain clear glass bulbs and cleaned them out with a water and vinegar solution. Then I put on some rubber gloves to protect my hands. I used a Real Red Ink Refill from Stampin' Up and sprayed the ink into the glass bulb. I swirled the bulb around until the ink covered every surface. It helped to put my gloved finger over the hole of the bulb and shake it.

Then I placed them upside down in an egg carton to drip out a bit. After most of the excess ink was gone, I took the Silver Glitter that SU sells and poured it into the bulb with a small funnel. Once again, cover the hole with a gloved finger and shake the glitter around the bulb. Finally, place the bulb hanger back in the bulb and voila it is done. Unless you want to add the rub ons.

I added word rub ons to most of my bulbs that are filled with the silver glitter.







These didn't turn out as cute. They are done the exact same way except I used Glittering Diamonds glitter which is a white glitter. They are cute, but I love the sparkle from the silver glitter. These ones I added the strip of flowers and one cute little flower to the bottom. Fun and cute.
I might go back and add some ribbon to the top of the bulb and then they might be fully done.

Little Angel Ornaments

Every year we give the kids a new ornament that they can add to their collection of ornaments. When they grow up and move out (will that ever happen??) they will have a box of their own ornaments that they have collected over the years.


Here are the ornaments that I decided to make for the kids this year, plus one for my own tree.


I used ceramic ornaments and stamped this little angel using black Staz-On. Then I took my Versamark Marker and colored the area for the halo. Then sprinkled it with gold embossing powder. Used my heat gun and melted the powder. It adhered to the ceramic ornament very nicely.


Finally, each of these ornaments tend to have their names and the year that they got them. So I used the Versamark Marker again, wrote their names & the year. Then sprinkled the embossing powder over it and heated it up. I sprayed them with a protective top coat to keep them Fabulous for many years to come. Finally I tied on some gold cording to hang them on the tree.

A great project that was done in about half an hour.
