Southern Scraps

I had so much fun making glitter ornaments that I spent some time this past weekend making more.  I made three in red for my Georgia tree (it's not up this year, but maybe next year) and I made three more for stocking stuffers. I made another polka dot ornament   Then I made a white one with red dots. I combined both the floor cleaner and the mod podge techniques for this. I made a solid red one and turned it into a Santa belly band ornament with a strip of felt and a buckle cut from silver glitter cardstock with my Nestabilities square dies.

Finally I made a silver one and decorated it with a blue ribbon and rosette made from the ribbon.     These are so much fun. I had a hard time picking a favorite.

Just swirl the cleaner around in the ball and then pour out the excess. Shake in the glitter and coat the inside of the ball. Done! Easy! and so pretty. I also saw an idea from Michael's for some polka dot ornaments . You'll need Mod Podge and some spouncers for this one. Make dots on your...
