Tinsel Ornament

Decorating Glass Ball Ornaments


   
This tinsel ornament is guaranteed to out-shimmer any other ornament!  It sparkles and reflects light beautifully.  The best part is these are quick and inexpensive to put together. Clear ball ornaments can be found in craft stores and in the dollar stores around the holidays.  These can be decorated in many different ways. This craft is wonderful if you are a school teacher looking to make something for your students.  Each ornament can be left alone or labeled with a child's name using glitter paint.  If you would like to see other ways to decorate clear glass ball ornaments, check out these pages too:

Things Needed:  

  • Clear glass ball ornament
  • Christmas tree tinsel, in color of your choice
  • a pencil, cotton swab, or other long stick
  • Glitter puffy paint (optional)


1.  Begin the ornament by removing the top covering to the ornament and set it aside.  Next, start pushing tinsel in the small opening.   The best way to do this is to use a pencil or cotton swab to help you push it through.  I used the end of a paint brush.

2.  Continue adding tinsel until the entire ornament is filled.  Then replace the ornament top.

3.  The next step is optional, but you can further decorate the glass ball ornament using glitter glue.  You can print on a holiday saying, personalize it with a person's name, or simply paint little glitter glue dots over the entire ornament for a pretty effect.

4.  Allow the ornament to dry and it is ready to hang on the tree!
