Create your own glass ball ornaments to decorate your Christmas tree.
Decorating a Christmas tree is a fun tradition that many families keep as part of their yearly Christmas celebration. Many children make ornaments in school or church that parents hang on their Christmas tree year after year. You can start the tradition of making homemade glass ball ornaments to hang on your family's Christmas tree with some inexpensive supplies from a craft store.
Instructions
1. Take the lid off the glass ball ornaments by pulling the metal loop at the top of the ornament until the lid pops off.
2. Fill the ornaments with beads, feathers, buttons or any other craft embellishments that will fit through the top of the ornaments.
3. Place a few drops of two or more colors of paint inside the ornaments. Swirl the paint around inside the glass ball ornament to create a marbled effect. Tip the ornament upside down over a sink, with the water running, to get the extra paint out of the ornament.
4. Place a few drops of glitter paint inside the ornaments and place your finger over the opening of the ornament. Shake the paint around inside the ornament until the entire inside of the ornament is coated in glitter paint. Tip the ornament upside down over the sink, with the water running, to allow the excess paint out.
5. Pinch the metal wire ends of the loop on the lid of the ornament to fit them back inside the ornament. Then, press the lid back on the top of the ornament. Wait for the paint to dry inside any ornaments that have paint in them before putting the lids back on.
