How to Make DIY Glitter Ornaments

Now that you’ve gathered your supplies, it’s time to get started!

Here’s what you’ll do…

DIY Glitter Ornament with Pledge

1. Take off the silver top, then pour some Pledge Floor Care Finish in the clear, empty ornament.

2. Swirl the cleaner around the inside of the ornament.

3. Try to avoid bubbles. See all of my pretty glitter colors?

4. 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.

5. Next, pour a good amount of glitter inside the ornament. I used a Dixie cup to set my ornament in to make it sturdy.

6. Then swirl the glitter around the ornament so that it is completely covered with glitter. You may have to add more.

7. 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.

8. 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.

      Will this work with the clear plastic ornaments instead of glass?

        Don’t fill it, just put some in and roll around to coat it, Then dump the rest out.

      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 😊

      I LOVE the look of glitter, but don’t like the mess, the pain when it gets under my contacts, finding it months later… Having the glitter INSIDE makes me want to leave work early and get supplies for this!

      Does the Pledge dry enough to keep the glitter “stuck” to the sides of the bulb, to act as a glue?

        Hobby Lobby has them, but they are not in the Christmas section, they are in the craft section.
