Glitter balls!

 

I was watching Studio 5 last week and I found a fun craft that I knew would be easy and fun.  I had a bunch of clear ornament balls that I bought at the end of the season last year.  Then I saw this floor finish as an adhesive and my mind just couldn't stop at all of the possibilities.  I have never thought as floor finish as an adhesive but it works great!

 

Start out with a clean glass ornament ball.

 

Pour some of the floor finish into it, and swirl it around it doesn't matter how much you pour in because once you have all of the insides of the ornament coated you will just pour out the rest back into a plastic cup.

 

Swirl it around so you don't get bubbles, we used a cotton ball to keep it from sloshing out the top.

 

Once you have it all coated, pour out the remaining finish.

 

Then pour in whatever color glitter you want your ball to be.

 

Shake the glitter around to coat all of the insides of the ornament.

 

and then pour out the left over glitter.

 

This was the fun part! To see how pretty they were turning out.

 

See how pretty they are!

 

Love these bright colors.

 

Can't you see some Halloween project with these.

 

Look at all of the colors! You have glitter without all of the glitter getting all over because the glitter is inside the ball!

 

I also tried using the finish on some mason jars.  You can make the jars look old by adding food coloring to  the floor finish and painting the out sides of the jar.  I tried this last summer with Elmer's glue and food coloring but using this clear finish makes the jars just sparkle.  Sorry I didn't add any pictures of the jars but it has the same finish that this glass bowl has that the ornaments are in.

 

I am thinking that there are a lot more possibilities with this clear finish used as an adhesive!

Love it!
