Well, I had found a post on Pinterest on how to make some DIY ornaments. Haleigh and I decided that they would be fun to make as gifts. After a quick trip to Michaels and a whole lotta glitter…we ended up with some pretty fun ornaments. She is very excited to give these gifts to their lucky recipients. Haleigh is very particular. We ended up making 12 and I let her choose the color glitter for each one. She knew exactly what color she wanted and for who. She put deep thought into the recipient. I would have preferred the balls to remain Christmas colored, but this was her project and she had her own colors in mind. So this is what we ended up with:
Step 1: Take the lid off a clear glass ornament.
Step 2: Pour a small amount of Mop and Glo (yep, ,you read it right) into the ball. Swish it all around to coat the entire ball. Dump out the excess liquid.
Step 3: Pick some glitter, dump it in, and shake the bajeebies out of it.
And there you have it…simple, fun, glittery…what more could a girl ask for? Haleigh said they were full of “fairy dust.” We added a couple snowflake decals and tied a purdy bow. These are the two she made especially for her teachers.
James woke up from nap near the end of our project so he had to join in. He was happy just stirring glitter…can you tell by the amount on his hands? You should have seen his face…and the table…and the floor…and the chairs…and the…
Can I just say that glitter is hard to clean? I mean really hard. Oh well..we will just be sparkly for a while.
