I am making some clear glass ornaments for the craft show where I am having a booth. I thought maybe everyone would like to see how to make these? First, this is hard to photograph because acetate sheets are used. Second, there is a glare off the glass ornaments no matter what I did. So that being said, here it is!
Supplies Needed:
Clear Glass ornaments, Acetate Sheets, Coluzzle Cutting System, Jet Black Stazon, Mini Glue Dots, Stamp Set (I used Christmas Cardinal), Gold Cording, Red Organdy Ribbon, Scissors, Dazzling Diamonds Glitter
Using the Coluzzle Circle Template, cut a circle of acetate just big enough to fit inside the clear glass ornament. As you can see, I have marked every other line with a red sharpie so I can easily use my Coluzzle.
It is very hard to see, but I left a small "tab" at the top of the circle so I can "anchor" the acetate circle in the glass ornament. I made the tab in one of the spaces you have to cut with scissors when you use the Coluzzle....clear as mud, right?
Stamp your image in Stazon Ink on the Acetate circle you cut out. I left the paper behind the acetate for easier viewing.
Let this dry.
Once the image is dry, turn it over. Using sharpie markers, color in the image on the opposite side of the stamped image.
Take the top hanger off your ornament. Roll up the acetate circle you stamped on and start inserting it into the ornament. Right before its all the way in, put a Mini Glue Dot on the little "tab" you left and anchor the acetate circle to the neck of the ornament.
Put a small amount of Dazzling Diamonds Glitter into the glass ornament and put the hanger back in place.
I tied a bow of Red Organdy Ribbon on the hanger plus tied some gold cording on so you can hang the ornament on the tree. Here is my completed ornament!
Very Easy and super fun. My kids have helped me make these the past 3 years. I cut out the acetate and stamp, they color the images, I put the acetate into the ornament, they put in the glitter.
It is a fun project to do together!
