Julie writes: “I did this with a group of kids as young as 4 yrs old to 4th graders and it was enjoyed by all (along with the adult helpers).”
Supplied Needed for DIY Glitter Ornaments:
- Clear Glass or Plastic Ball Ornaments
- Pledge Floor Care Finish or Clear Floor Gloss
- Craft Glitter
How to Make DIY Glitter Ornaments:
Step #1: Take off the silver top, then pour some Pledge Floor Care Finish in the clear, empty ornament.
Step #2: Swirl the cleaner around the inside of the ornament. Try to avoid bubbles. See all of my pretty glitter colors?
Once you’ve finished swirling the cleaner around, pour the excess cleaner back into the jar. I was able to set my smaller ornaments in the hole to drain it.
Step #3: Next, pour a good amount of glitter inside the ornament. I used a Dixie cup to set my ornament in to make it sturdy.
Then swirl the glitter around the ornament so that it is completely covered with glitter. You may have to add more.
Step #4: Pour any excess glitter back into the glitter jar. You may have to use a funnel. The opening of my ornament just happened to be the perfect size for me so I didn’t need to use one.
Once you get the excess glitter out, wipe the ornament down a bit on the outside and put the silver top back on. So EASY!
Here are all the colors I did in about an hour and a half.

Debbie says
Will this work with the clear plastic ornaments instead of glass?
Heidi says
Hi Debbie… yes, this will work with plastic or glass ornaments. Have fun making yours! 🙂
Amanda says
Has anyone tried this with a fine sand? I trying to do a beachy look but the sand make the ornament heavy if I full it.
Dory says
Don’t fill it, just put some in and roll around to coat it, Then dump the rest out.
Katrina says
Your ornaments look awesome. I make these every year for my students. How do you keep the glitter from getting knocked/scraped off when you put the silver wires and caps back on? I waited a year to put them back on this Christmas so I know they were dry enough 😊
Haley says
What can you use besides pledge floor cleaner?
Jenny May Shannon says
I LOVE the look of glitter, but hate the mess, the pain when it gets under my contacts, fidning it months later… Having the glitter INSIDE makes me want to leave work early and get supplies for this!
Karla says
Does the Pledge dry enough to keep the glitter “stuck” to the sides of the bulb, to act as a glue?
Beka says
Yes
Heather says
I can’t find clear ornaments anywhere….where did you find yours?
tracy says
Not Sure where you are located but I was able to find some at Joann’s crafts in puyallup washington. Maybe online if you don’t have one close to you 🙂
Janice Crowell says
Hobby Lobby has them, but they are not in the Christmas section, they are in the craft section.
Jamie says
Michael’s, JoAnns, Hobby Lobby web Wal-Mart
Deborah Russell says
Amazon!
Marissa says
I LOVE that the glitter is on the inside! Get the pretty without the mess!
