I simply love shiny Christmas ornaments! Well, I love Christmas ornaments of
almost any kind (there are exceptions), but those in this photo happen to be shiny and they're two of my favorites. The red glass ball with its scene of a church and "Silent Night" is old, from my childhood. The red truck is a Tractor Supply after-Christmas bargain from a few years ago.
Even more fun is when I find an ornament I can make that is as nice, or nicer, than a purchased one. I've had this one on my list of potential Christmas in July posts for awhile: it's a Snowy Forest Glitter Ball Ornament from Kimberly at Serendipity Refined.
The materials for this Christmas ball could not be simpler: just a gold glass Christmas ball, glue, gold glitter, and white glitter. You draw a design on the ball with glue, sprinkle with glitter, and let dry.
Just imagine how this pretty design will sparkle in your tree lights! I think it would be lovely done in green, too, or maybe another color.
What a beautiful ornament, and yes, it does look easy!!
ReplyDeleteI doubt that anything I drew in glue would look quite that lovely! 😁
