I just made these. It was so easy!! I mixed the glitter directly into the polycrylic and coated the ornaments then did a darker color over that to get a multi-coloured effect. I wish I could post a picture here to show you. So pretty!!
I have used a baby syringe that I got from the drug store to suck up the polyacrylic and then I squirt it into the ornament. That's how I got the acrylic into smaller ornaments. Great video with great hints!
Exceptional tutorial. Clear, precise, not to fast, and to the point where a beginner like me can understand and not be intimidated. THANK YOU SO MUCH 💓
This Southern Girl Can has completed a beautiful glitter ornament of the easiest and only tutorial you will find that works. Thank you for showing how the product works and each step all the way to the end result. We had amazing results and completed 12 of them.
Oh, wow! This is the first time that I am seeing this method of decorating an ornament! I love your explanations and it is beautifully done! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and craftsmanship! 🤗
I really enjoy your videos. I have learned so much from you, Amber. I'm about a year into this crafting world, now I can do more craft shows with new ideas. Thanks
Those are gorgeous!!!! Those are my fav types of glitter!!!! Doing winter crafts the fine white glitter makes things look soooo cold and I love that!! 💕💕💕💕 God Bless and have a great weekend!!
I’ve been watching several videos in order to learn this. It’s my first time in the Christmas bubbles. All of this to say that this is the BEST tutorial by far! Thank you! :)
As always , you give easy instructions and I get new tips every time. Probably common sense, but i never think to have a stack of the cups out and ready , now I think I will plan ahead a little more, because it does make it go more smoothly.
I work in a paint department. I love my job btw lol. The guys normally send all the crafty ladies to me. I NEVER thought to use polycrylic this way! I've got tons of it at home so this isn't something I'd have to shop for. Thank you for this one! I love Walmart glitter too lol.
I love these because if you decide not to use traditional Christmas colors or you're decorating a theme tree it's not that easy to find ornaments to match...Thanks for sharing...
Thank you so much for his video! My girlfriend made these so long ago. I’ve been collecting all the items needed. I purchased the minwax spray. I hope it works too. This is so simple 🥰 Hugs💞Dina
Thanks so much for making the video short but sweet. It pretty much answered all my questions about doing these glitter ornaments. First video of yours I have watched. I will be searching for more of them. Cheers
Thank goodness I came across your video. I tried my hand at making one of these ornaments, with much fail. I used Elmer’s glue with a little more of a chunky glitter. Well, let me tell y’all my heart flopped the next morning when I checked on it, to my disarray it was a disaster. All the glitter globbed up at the bottom and all I could do was throw it away. So I thank you so very much for setting this girl straight with your video. 😁😁😁 P.S. New subscriber 😉
Great helpful video, thank you. So glad I didn't try this last year with floor polish now especially as I intend to do some embellishing that will be expensive and time consuming! I really appreciate that you explained why Polycrylic is the best for this project. $9 though! Wow! I wish LOL The cheapest I can get that size can here in the UK is £22 But now that I know it's worth it I'm off to order it right now. So once again, Thank You so much x
Hi Amber I loved the video how to make the polycrylic Christmas ornaments. I was going to make some with mop & glow. I am so glad that you came on to help me. Thank you so much Amber for being just who you are. God Bless
These are so pretty! Last year at Michaels I bought a ton of clear ornaments on sale and haven’t done anything with them yet, so I will most definitely have to try this! Thank you for sharing Amber💜
Thank you so much!! I was wondering how the floor wax method would hold up and as always you answered that question 😃. They are beautiful and I will have to pick up the polycrilic at work tomorrow. Sometimes I’m happy I work at HD lol
Hi 🙂 Absolutely gorgeous! Like a few others who have commented on your video, I, too, have a container of clear ornaments that I bought last year from Michael’s. Now I have some idea of what to do with them and all the glitter that I have! Thanks so much for the tutorial! 🎄 God Bless! 😇
Thanks for this tutorial! I’ve made ones with Mop & Glo, but I’m making some ornaments that I want to last, so I’m braving the polycrylic this time around. None of the other instructions I found said how long to let them drip, so I really appreciated you including that. And great tip about storing the polycrylic after!
Amber, thank you so much. I must be living in the dark ages....lol. I have never heard of or seen this done. I am fairly new to watchin youtube. I love the way these turned out. Wish I would of seen it done when I had something to use these Christmas balls for. Thank you for sharing. I love to watch your videos, you explain things in such a simple and straightforward way.

I love this technique! Just curious, have you ever made ornaments like these using Gallery Glass stain-glass paint? They last forever, too. My grandson and I used to make them when he was about 7 or 8 years old. He is 25, now, and I still have the ones that we didn’t give as gifts. Yours are beautiful! 🎄😊
I saw the drip drip through a bubble ! I love ALL the things you do ! I have some time now to craft...I'm/we're raising a grandson...have since he was a few months . I homeschool ...all the crazy things happening in schools , plus they don't have prayer anymore ! It just seems to me they've been dumbing down the kids instead of working them to their potential ! O M Gosh , went into life history ! But he's 15 now n requires less help, so I have more time ! Lord , bet you thought this lady's never going to get to the point! I'm a Southern Nana too...can't ya tell ?😁 Be blessed
I also use the minwax as a sealant. No matter what I used, I would always have fallout on things that I used glitter on. However, once I started using the minwax as my sealant..I never have any fall out. It is the best to seal in glitter.
Will be making this for sure would you please do a video on making glitter tumbler. Also a how to video on using a cricut maker would be loved. Thanks for another amazing DIY video.
My dad was a house painter and he would take a nail and hammer a couple of holes in the rim so paint could drain back down he did this mostly when using stains and polyurethanes
