This year my friend and I are hosting a Christmas Ornament Exchange. I sent out an initial e-invitation, to gauge how many people would be interested in participating- and was overwhelmed by the response! To keep things affordable, each guest has been asked to bring 10 homemade ornaments, which they will exchange for 10 new ones brought from the other guests. I am really looking forward to it and had to share the "official" invitation. (not the cheesy e-vite one)
I made the glitter ornaments, using the instructions you can find, well basically everywhere you look on Pinterest or you-Tube.
1.Take a little bit of floor wax, like Pledge Floor Multi-surface or Mop and Glo, swirl a small bit around in the glass ornament, draining out the excess.
2. Then use a funnel to add some extra fine glitter. It miraculously sticks to the inside of the glass!
3. Shake out excess glitter.
4. Allow them to dry upside down for a little while.
I then embellished with some ribbon, some vinyl and of course the invite itself. I'm getting excited!
(The picture above is just a few of the invites, I added it to show all the range of colors in glitter I used.)
