More Ornaments
Here’s a couple more ornaments that I made today. This one is a simple glitter re-inker ornament. I added this darling little snowman face rub-on, then tied the white ribbon at the top. She’s simple, but I like her.
Edited to add: I have had a couple questions on this ornament. I’m sorry I didn’t explain more, I assumed everyone had seen these glitter ornaments on SCS last year. They are very easy. I bought my clear glass ornaments at Michael’s last yr on clearance. They sell them every year, and probably have them out now, I bet. First, squirt in a little re-inker (I used cool caribbean). Maybe about a teaspoon or 2? Put on a rubber glove, cover the hole with your finger, and swirl the color all around the inside of the ornament. After the inside is covered, turn the ornament upside down and dump out the re-inker. Save it if you are making more ornaments. Keep the ornament upside down for about 5 mins, letting it drain the color out. (I turn mine upside down and sit it in a glass to hold it. I also put a paper towel under it to catch the drips.) After it’s drained, blot the top with the paper towel, because there will be extra ink there. Next, dump in some glitter. I used Martha Stewart crystal glitter for mine. Cover the hole with your gloved finger again, and shake the glitter all around. Dump it out, and wallah, a pretty sparkly ornament! You can save this glitter, because now it will have the color of whatever re-inker you used! Ah, ha, I knew I remembered seeing a tutorial… AmyR has a tutorial HERE!
This next one is also very simple, using the same papers I used for the pine cone ornament. I found this idea on Splitcoast HERE. Thanks, Kim!! 
All you do, is cut strips of paper 6 inches long and a half an inch wide. Roll them up and put them inside the ornament. I also added some “buffalo snow” inside to make it a little more glittery:
Hope you are all having a nice holiday!
simply beautiful! how did you do the reinker one? haven’t seen that one anywhere before…and where do you get the rub-ons? as you can see, i don’t get out much!
would also love to know where you purchased the clear ornaments…i’m going to make that one with the strips of paper for hostess gifts!

Both of these are great but I love the snowman! I love all the glitter and the rub-ons are terrific, it looks like you painted it!
These ornaments are all so different, but I love them all! I think my favorite is the one with the rolled paper in it. I love that idea.

Love the papers too in the rolled up one! Are those cosmo cricket?
I accidentally found your blog thru another blogger who linked these ornaments and all I can say is…omg….I love them!! I loved the one with the rolled paper then when I clicked in here I found these other two!! Excellent job!! Thanks for the instructions too! I have a ton of these ornaments from last year and had no idea what to do with them!!
