I had so much fun making these ornaments yesterday. They were really easy, a little messy and time consuming, but easy. I got the idea off of Splitcoast Stampers. Just rinse the inside of clear glass ornaments out with water. Get as much of the water out then add 20 drops of reinker to the ball. Slowly swirl the ornament until the entire inside surface is covered. Turn upside down on paper towel to drain excess ink out. Next, using a scrap piece of paper, make a cone and pour some glitter or Dazzling Diamond glitter into the ball. Place thumb over opening and shake ball until entire ornament is covered. Pour remaining glitter out onto paper. Caleb loved rubbing his hands in the glitter then rubbing them together to have sparkly hands. I added a matching ribbon to the top of the ornament to use as a hanger. Caleb helped me make these, and after I left the kitchen, he decided to continue to play with the glitter and reinkers. Needless to say, one container of my glitter was completely filled with riding hood red refill. I actually managed not to lose my temper over it. Of course, Gene was the first to find it, and got the initial cleanup mess. LOL! Anyway, we both had fun, even if there was a mess to clean up. The ornaments turned out great! I plan to put them in the United Methodist Women's Bazaar here in town. Hopefully they will sell and make some money for the cause. The colors I used were Riding Hood Red, Blue Bayou, and Wild Wasabi Green.
