Glitter-Dotted Christmas Ornament
A simple motif of glittering polka dots turns ordinary glass ball ornaments into something special. Throw in a few free-form swipes of silver or gold, and you have the makings of a truly unique Christmas tree decoration.
Materials and Tools- Round, plain glass Christmas ornament
- Crafts glue
- Pencil with unused round eraser
- Glitter in silver or gold
- Paint marker pen in silver or gold
1. Using the photo as your inspiration, dab the round eraser end of a pencil in glue and dot glue randomly onto half of the round glass ornament. (To keep ornament steady, drape a small cloth over a small-mouthed glass, then nestle the ornament in the mouth of the glass.)
2. Sprinkle glitter onto glue. Let dry.
3. Use a paint marker pen to create random swishes and swirls as shown.
4. Repeat steps on opposite half of the ornament.
This would be even more simple if you would use glue dots. They're super sticky and any embellishment (glitter, jewels) would stick.
