Holilday Blizzard Project – Glittery, Glimmering Christmas Ornaments
Glittery Glimmering Christmas Balls
By: Sue Trembeth, Artistic Guide
This is a super easy and inexpensive gift to make for co-workers, teachers and friends. You can make this project as easy or as complicated as you want.
Follow along with me, in the video, as I create these gorgeous ornaments. I have also included the supply list and written directions below.
Supplies:
Glitter: (Martha Stewart)
Blue Sapphire
Peridot
Green Agate
Tourmaline
Clear glass Christmas ornaments, choice of size (any craft store)
Ribbon of your choice
Secret Ingredient
Optional:
Embellishments of your choice, such as: gems, flowers, beaded fringe
Directions:
- Remove the hanger from the glass ornament. Pour a puddle of your secret ingredient- FUTURE FLOOR FINISH into the ornament. With a swirling motion coat the entire inside of the ornament and drain the extra liquid back into the bottle.
- Using a paper funnel, dump a moderate amount of glitter inside the ornament. Using the same swirling motion, cover the entire ornament with glitter. Dump the excess back into the bottle.
- Replace the hanger back in the ornament. At this point you can embellish your ornament with flowers, gems, ribbon or fringe. Your Christmas ornament is ready to hang or to give as a gift.

This is an awesome idea. Love the ornaments!
thank you so much for this idea. .just awesome .
I just discovered that Future is now a Pledge product.
Wow! I am impressed and always looking for easy to do nice crafts, thanks to you I found a new one. These Christmas balls are gorgeous!! MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOURS
Thanks guys for the comments! These are so much fun to make and no they don't look patchy and I have some of these for years and years and they still look great!
Sue, I really enjoyed your video and your idea! I think I'll do some ornaments for my year-round copper swirly tree with ornaments for Halloween! I love Martha's glitter and have many of the colors, yet haven't used them - yet! Thanks
Cool project and really nice video tutorial. Thank you!
These are really lovely. I have done this before with clear art varnish.. this is just as lovely and bet the "Future" is a whole lot less expensive. I too like the Martha Stewart glitter.. Its a good thing. how well do these dry? do they flake off? in side and look patchy? thiss has happened with some ornaments I have made with acryllic paint but only after 8-9 years, I guess that isn't so bad.
Thanks for the video.. I do appreciate it. makes me want to make some now!
Great idea Sue T! I still have some Future floor polish around and plenty of glass Christmas balls so I will have to try this...will watch video later as I'm sneaking a peak at work.
I'm been waiting to try this. Now I'm going to. Great directions and easy to follow. I'll have Future floor polish on my grocery list. Thanks, Sue!
Hugs, Pen
Love it!!! Thanks Sue for sharing this!
