The reason these are "mess free" are because the glitter is all on the inside. Now I say mess free...but while you are making them you are inevitably going to look like a disco ball! But once complete no more glitter all over the house when it comes time to decorate the tree each year! I love glitter but hate to wear it so once I discovered these on pinterest I was sold!
They are super easy to make: First there are a few key pieces that you must not skrimp on...yea I just said skrimp and all my fellow southerners will read this with out skipping a beat. But for everyone else that are just as confused as my spell checker is right now that just means...not to go cheap or improvise! ( ok thanks google...I stand corrected it could also be scrimp. But whatever I like skrimp!) These are what you must have: micro glitter or ultra fine strip glitter and the floor cleaner. It must be a pledge floor cleaner style solution, because that is the trick to getting a good glitter coat on the inside of your ornament!
You need to make sure you have everything all laid out for each step because time is of the essence!
First: Go ahead and make a little funnel for your glitter with a index card. Second: pick your glitter. Third: Pour a little pledge cleaner into the ornament and roll it around so that it coats the whole inside. DO NOT shake...it will make bubbles! Roll until coated and pour excess back into the bottle. Next: Pour your glitter of choice into the ornament and pour more than you would think you will need. Now this is where you must work quickly! Roll the ornament just like before to coat the inside with glitter. Then tap out the excess. After this just let your ornament sit on a cup to dry a little. All that is left to do now is to replace the metal cap and decorate the outside!
Tah-dahh pretty mess free glitter ornaments! |
