November 27, 2016 By Jennifer

It’s easy to make something with a big impact, even if you don’t think you have any creative skills.

I think everyone is creative, it’s just finding that “thing”. As an artist,writer and crafter, I can do a lot of creative things, but as many of you remember, macrame is my arch nemesis!

Modern rustic easy DIY glitter ornament

I wanted to share with you a way to make easy DIY glitter ornaments and add a modern touch to a rustic mantel! I used copper glitter and with the glass it adds such a pretty,sparkly touch.

First, gently tape around the outside of the ornaments, especially if you are using glass so you don’t break them, they are really fragile. You can also use plastic ornaments as well.

Paint the base with a coat of multi-surface gold paint and then go over the top of that with multi-surface copper paint. It give the inside of the ornament nice dimension.

Paint the base with white craft glue and glitter ornaments

Once the paint is dry, use a brush to paint the base all over with white craft glue and sprinkle heavily with copper glitter.

Remove tape right away from glitter

Remove the tape right away.

Use a brush ti touch up any bare spots with glue

If you have any spots that didn’t take, use a small brush to paint some white craft glue on and add some more glitter.

Save you glitter with a tray

Since I’m so cheap,I have a handyglitter funnel tray for saving my glitter. I love how much I can save this way to use again!

Once it they were dry, I used fishing line to hang them from a birch log on the mantel edge.
