Glittery Ornaments

Even though it's hot, I am trying to get into the Christmas spirit since it's December. It feels like time just flies by faster all the time and I can't even keep up! I wanted to make something pretty for my tree so I decided on some glittery ornaments. Now, glitter gets EVERYWHERE so that's why the glitter went inside the ornaments. 

First of all, you're going to need to spread newspaper over your entire workspace because the glitter manages to get everywhere of course. Then you will need glitter, clear ornaments (I got mine from Michael's) and Pledge floor finish. I also had glitter glue in case I wanted to decorate the outside but I ended up just loving them the way they looked without it.

See how it gets everywhere? haha! So all you have to do is pour about a tablespoon of the floor finish into the ornament. While holding the hole closed, shake the ornament like crazy so it coats the entire inside. Then dump out the excess floor finish. Next, pour a generous amount of glitter inside and while holding the hole closed, shake it. Make sure there is a lot of glitter inside because you want it to be completely covered.

I ended up having to put more glitter in this one because there was a little patch that didn't really have much glitter on it.

This one looks like snow!

They look so pretty on the tree!

Can you tell that this one is my favorite?! It looks like Barbie!

This is how the whole tree looks! It's the most beautiful at night. I just love this tree because it's so girly and pretty!

And of course I had to snap a quick picture of my little prince by the tree! It's going to be my first Christmas with him. (More pictures to come of course!) I really thought he would climb the tree and destroy it, but he has been wonderful so far! He has only batted the ornament that is closest to the bottom and that's it. By the way, I have been under the weather lately with the flu or something and that's why I haven't been blogging. I haven't really felt like doing much of anything. But I am better now, so expect me to be blogging more frequently!
