Pretty sparklers for trees!

These can be used to add sparkler to the Christmas Tree, but also , in the summer these beauties will sparkle and shine in your garden and scare the birds and critters for munching on your veggies!
I've been on a glass ornament kick as of late (see crayon ornaments and glow ornaments LOL). I'm trying to think of the craziest and coolest ways to put stuff inside. The other night I was perusing That Ornament Girl's blog and I saw she used wax mopping liquid to coat the inside of ornaments to apply glitter.  Pretty rad, huh?  I decided to add more than just one color to mine and I think they turned out pretty magical - almost galaxy-like.  Here's the 411 on you can get the look. It only takes 5 minutes for each ornament!


This is how we do it
ONE Remove the stem of a clear ornament (mine were puchased in a 6 pack at Michaels) and apply the clear floor wax to the inside of your ornament. TWO Swish the wax around and pour back in bottle.  THREE Pour a variety of little Tulip Fashion Glitters inside (see pic below). FOUR Swirl and shake the colors around and add cap back on!  Easy and fun, huh?


Here's the fun colors in the 24 pack of Tulip Fashion Glitter!  A little glitter goes a long way and all the colors are so vibrant.  This would be a fun one to put on your crafty gift list this year!

The ornaments turned out so sparkly and remind me of the galaxy bleach art I've been seeing on clothing and shoes!  You can purchase "rub on stickers" for scrapbooking to personalize your unique ornaments.http://inkypalms.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/dsc01859.jpg


Each one turns out differently and where the glitter lands, it lands.  It's seriously addictive to make these little ornaments, so make sure to buy several packages of clear ornaments when they are on sale or with you craft store coupon!
