Supplies for DIY Glitter Ornaments

You can find these clear glass ornaments at any craft store.  Here’s a tip, wait and buy them after Thanksgiving when they are on sale.   Even better, you can usually still find them after Christmas when they are at rock bottom clearance prices.    Any type of glitter will work for this project – fine, tinsel, chunky, glass glitter, regular … they will all work with this technique.

Add Mod Podge to the Glass Christmas Tree Ornament

First, use a craft brush to cover the glass ornament with Mod Podge.

Sprinkle Glitter onto Mod Podge

Next, generously sprinkle the glitter over the Mod Podge. I have a Martha Stewart Glitter Tray that I use for projects like this so that I can collect all the un-used glitter and pour it back in the bottle.

How to finish your DIY Glitter Ornaments

Once the ornament is completely covered in glitter, hang it up somewhere to dry.  I used a paper clip and hung it off a clothes hanger.   After a couple of hours, the Mod Podge should be dry but some of the glitter will flake off if you don’t use something to set it.  I have some Mod Podge Clear Acrylic Spray Sealer that I use for this.  I give it a quick and light spray and let the DIY Glitter Ornaments dry overnight.  In a pinch, you can also use hair spray for this part of the process.  It’s not quite as effective as the acrylic spray but it does work!
