Christmas is just around the corner and I'm finally getting onto some Christmas crafts with the kids...finally!!!
This project is so easy and simple to do with children, as long as you don't mind glitter everywhere.
What you need:
Glue ( I would have used hot glue, but gluesticks were no-where to be found)
glitter and cheap plain balls
The kids chose to write their names on their decorations.
So I wrote their names with glue and they poured the glitter over.
Let dry for a few minutes and gently tap the glitter off.
Once
the glue has dried completely, give the decorations another few taps to
get any extra glitter off.
Then they are ready to hang.

there gorgeous Nat, I love anything with glitter!!! I think hot glue would have been harder any way :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Mel, I need to find a finer glitter tho - then it would have looked cuter I think
DeleteHi Natalie, at our local shopping centre they are selling something similar to this (I think they are bigger baubles) and they are selling them for $22. I bet you guys made yours a lot cheaper. I like yours they are Christmasy. Megan xxx
