Christmas Crafting

So we hit the hobby lobby this morning and after putting the twins down for their nap we got our craft on.

Teacher gifts... Thanks Pinterest!

Santa ornaments.... Here's how to make them...

Start with plain clear glass ornaments

Next you want to get some floor wax/polish (pinterest said it had to be the blue top wax but I used the orange top and it worked fine)

Remove the silver cap from the ornament and pour in some pledge floor wax. Swirl it around until the inside is coated. The turn the ornament upside down and drain the remaining wax back into the pledge bottle.

Now make or use a premade funnel to pour glitter into the ornament. You need a decent amount. Then remove funnel, use your finger to cover the hole in the ornament and SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE. dump the glitter that didn't stick to the inside of your ornament back into the glitter bottle. Put the silver part back into the ornament.

Next comes the "belt". I used glitter velvet ribbon from the scrapbooking section of Hobby Lobby. .99 cents a roll and you get 4 ornaments per roll (they were also 50% off).

Using a couple of dots of hot glue glue your ribbon around the ornament to look like a belt.

These are brads also from the scrapbook section. Just snip off the stems on the back with household scissors and glue where they 2 ends of the ribbon meet for the buckle. Wa La. Santa ornaments!
