CELEBRATIONS: Glitter Ornament with Dimensional Magic

Oh... hello December, where did you come from? It's sort of strange to rush into the holiday season when you still have Thanksgiving leftovers in your refrigerator. But here we are and I lucked out and happen to have a holiday ornament post all ready to go. I participated in UCreate's Handmade Ornament Series a few weeks ago and now is a perfect time to reshare my ornament. Of course, I couldn’t resist using a little glitter to start off my holiday crafting season.

The inspiration for these ornaments came from the necklace pendant trays. They’re oversized – too large for me to wear as a necklace but perfect for a mini ornament.

Dimensional Magic Holiday Ornaments via homework | carolynshomework.comTo make these ornaments, you’ll need: jewelry pendant trays, magazine pictures or pictures from old Christmas cards, Mod Podge, paint brush, glitter and Dimensional Magic.

Start by choosing your pictures. Mine are from a magazine that featured some holiday images. Cut out a piece that will fit in your pendant tray.

Once your image is dry, use a very tiny paint brush to “paint” Mod Podge in the areas you want to glitter. For multiple colors wait for each color of glitter to dry before applying the next color.

Use Mod Podge Dimensional Magic to form a clear heavy coat on top of your glittered image. Allow to dry overnight and resist the temptation to touch it to see if it’s dry. The Dimensional Magic goes on slightly murky and will be crystal clear when dry.
