Glitter Christmas Ornaments, ideas? Help!
Looking for ideas to make my own "glitter" Christmas ornaments. One important factor is that the glitter stays on the ornament so they can be used year after year.

Crafters tacky glue is good for keeping glitter intact
You can coat the ornament with a thin layer of spray on glue or I have been told hair spray also works but I have never tried it. Good luck
If you use larger glitter, it will most likely stay attached better. You could make shapes out of polymer clay and then press the glitter into them before you bake them.
I got clear plastic balls from the craft store and did glitter on the INSIDE! You can make a little DIY modge podge mixture (just craft glue watered down) mix in a bunch of glitter, and pout that inside the ball. Swirl it around and then dump out the excess. repeat a few times if you want more layers of glitter!
ooooh! One color glitter inside, and glitter deco on the outside? With glittered bows to hang! (save a bit of the glitter you use in case you need to make repairs over time)
Morgan McBride is so right. We used to do glitter on the inside for the kids when my daughter was growing up because of the mess it made on the outside. I've got some from when she was in elementary school that are still beautiful, she's 27. My favorite has a few flower petals in it as well. Almost Victorian look.
I've done it on the inside as well. The glitter stuck without glue because of static, I guess. We've had them for almost 15 years and they still look the same.
