Suited for Santa
Supplies:
- Adornaments fibers, White
- Paper Shapers Buckle Square Medium Punch
- Craft glue pen
- Double-sided roller adhesive
- Red glass ball ornament
- Black and gold cardstock
Instructions:
- Apply a line of glue from the top of the ornament almost to the bottom.
- Gently press a length of white fiber on top of the glue to adhere. Add more glue and fibers to achieve the desired width.
- Apply glue around the top of the ornament, and coil fibers on top of the glue so that the top is covered.
- Cut a strip of black cardstock 1/2″ wide and long enough to wrap around the ornament.
- Punch a buckle from gold cardstock.
- Thread the black strip through the buckle. Apply double-sided adhesive to the back of the strip, then wrap it around the ornament to adhere.
A Ball of Snowflakes
Supplies:
- Cathy B. Sticko Stickers, Vellum Snazzy Snowflakes
- Blue glass ball ornament
Instructions:
- Adhere stickers to ornament in a random fashion. If necessary, apply additional adhesive. This same method can be used using flat or dimensional stickers. Applying stickers is a kid-friendly, cost-effective way to embellish a plain ornament.
Painted Perfection
Supplies:
- ZIG Painty pen
- Adornaments fibers, Christmas
- Craft glue pen
- Clear glass ball ornament
What to Do:
- Using the ZIG Painty pen, write seasonal words such as “noel,” “joy” or “peace” directly on the glass ball. Let dry to the touch.
- Apply a line of glue around the ornament just below the words. Wrap fibers around ornament and press into glue to adhere.
- Repeat Step 2 as desired, adding additional fiber coils near the top and the bottom of the ornament.
- If desired, use the Painty pen to apply various holiday designs or doodles around the rest of the ornament.
Note: Don’t care for your handwriting? Instead of using Painty pens, you can also apply alphabet rub-ons directly to the glass balls.
* As with all crafts, adult supervision is recommended.
