Glittery Ornament Balls

These small ornament balls are easy to make and very versatile. You can string them together and use them as garland, fill a few vases or bowls with them for centerpieces, embellish your garland with them or simply hang them on your tree.

Tools and Materials:

- Small size, lightweight ball ornaments

- Glitter

- Glitter glue

- Cookie sheet

Directions:

1 - Holding the ball by the hanger and overtop of the cookie sheet, cover one ball in glitter glue.

2 - While the glue is still wet cover the ball in sprinkles. Let dry (the best way to dry them is to hang them).

*You can mix some glitters together to create a multi-tone effect as well

Glass Ball Ornaments

Tools and Materials

- Gallery Glass window paint colours; Snow white, kelly green, ruby red

- Gallery Glass Leading Blanks

- Large, round glass ornaments

- Lined paper

- Tape

- Craft knife

- Red, green and white ribbon of varying widths

- Scissors

Instructions:

1 - Place a sheet of Leading Blank on top of your lined paper and tape securely.

2 - Using one colour at a time, trace multiple lines with your Gallery Glass window paints. Squeeze the bottles lightly so as not to make your lines too wide. Let it dry overnight.

3 - Clean and dry the ornaments and remove the ornament hangers. Using your craft knife, carefully peel the dried lines of window colour away from your leading blank and apply them to the glass ball. If desired place drops of the window colour directly onto the ornament for the Christmas tree embellishment. Let it dry.

4 - Replace the hangers and attach the coordinating ribbons.

*If your Christmas tree is decorated with a different colour scheme don't be afraid to swap the colours mentioned to match yours.
