diy: {sparkle} polka dot ornaments


Over the weekend I was inspired by all the sparkles in the stores, especially by these! I decided to add a little sparkle to our tree. Super easy project, but here are the steps and a few pics if you feel like trying!

 

*thank you fiance for being my hand model!
Add a ribbon to the ornament and it's ready for the tree!

    these are too cute! last year i was obsessed with collecting pine cones and covering them with glitter. this strikes me as a less sticky project!

    LOVE! If I lived near a Michaels I would be doing the exact same thing... unfortunately glass ornaments don't travel well! love the photos!

    Cute! About a month ago I almost bought some clear glass ornaments at Michael's, but I didn't have any ideas of how to decorate them so I didn't. I might have to use this idea!
