These are the supplies that you’ll need for the glitter ornament and the bow:

Let’s make the glitter ornament first:

  1. Remove the ornament’s hanger and set aside. Pour a small amount of gilding adhesive into the ornament. Gilding adhesive goes on wet and white. When it is dry, it is tacky and clear.Gilding Adhesive and Ornament
  2. Swirl the adhesive to completely cover in inside of the ornament. Swirl Gilding Adhesive in Ornament
  3. Invert the ornament over a collection contain so you can reclaim the gilding adhesive that drains away. Notice that the adhesive is white when it is wet. Set the ornament aside until the adhesive is completely dry and clear.Invert Ornament over Adhesive Collection Container
  4. Pour glitter into the ornament, and, covering the opening, shake to coat the entire inside of the ornament. Replace the hanger, and set the glittered ornament aside while we make the bow.Add Glitter
