I am a last minute type. I just am. Tuesday is the last day of school this week... and I had nothing for the teachers.. just something little to say "I am thankful for you!". So today while on the treadmill I decided I would to go to Micheal's - after collapsing of course- in search of the clear glass bulbs I needed. I wanted to try this glittery fantasticness last Christmas and never got around to it. This year... watch out!! I may do one of these for everyone I know.. they are
that easy!! Highly recommend you try.
Here's how the ornaments turned out :)

GLITTERY FANTASTICNESS |
Aren't they pretty? And guess what.. the glitter is on the
inside, so no mess. Awesome.
All you need is: Mop and Glo, Clear Glass Bulbs, Extra Fine Glitter
 |
Pour the Mop and Glo into the bulb. Don't worry how much - you will drain out the extra. Swirl it around, but don't shake it so it ddoesn't create bubbles. |
 |
Drain the liquid. |
 |
Use your pinkie to get the froth off of the edge. |
 |
Pour Glitter inside - again you will dump any extra. |
 |
Rotate to cover the inside. |
 |
Dump any extra back in the container. Tap the bulb to get any lose glitter. |
 |
Don't you just love? So Glittery and Shiny! |
I really liked how they turned out. But I decided to personalize them a little with a last initial. I wanted to try the glass glitter paint so I used it to stencil.
 |
First I tried just filling it in the actual stencil. I used a Q-tip to smooth the edges. |
 |
For the 2nd bulb, I traced the stencil on paper. Much better! |

The kids each wrote a note to their teacher.. Garrett told his he is so thankful for her. Addie told hers she loves her and drew little hearts ;) I too am so thankful for their teachers.. thank you! |
Cute! love the colors you chose!
