You're very welcome. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thanks Holostorm. :)

I detest using glitter (really and honestly, I detest it) but I love the end product. :)

@@AuntyCrafty your idea of putting the glitter into the bottles is genius! I'm thinking I'll probably spill the glitter putting it into the bottles, even with a funnel haha.

LOL! I had some spillage so I completely understand where you're coming from Stacey LOL

M B Very true 😁

Or just wait after christmas is over and get them cheaper

I hope to soon.

Yes, please!

Yes. You absolutely can :)

I hope to.

Nancy, please visit my FB page for more info. Thanks. facebook.com/CDNAuntyCrafty/

Paper towel is so much easier and nothing to wash either :)

Yes, I poured the glitter into the bottles with a funnel then labelled them with their colour names/numbers so I knew which supplier to re-order from when I got low. The polycrylic was in it's own bottle and I simply refilled it with a funnel when low as well.

You're very welcome Maria. Thanks for watching and commenting. I know there are alternatives for polyacrylic. Some people have had success using floor polish type products (although I've also heard that it doesn't last more than a year before the glitter starts falling out). Here's hoping you can find something suitable in the U.K.......fingers crossed.

Maria Fleming can you get it off of Amazon?

Hi Buddy. Thanks for watching and commenting. I normally don't have extra glitter left over in the ornaments but IF I do I don't put back into the glitter container bottles (as it might be slightly damp from poly and would ruin the loose glitter in the bottle). I think I've got it down to a science at this point on how much glitter to add to the ornament without having too much left over (if that makes sense?). I will be doing a video tutorial on the unicornaments in the near future. Thanks for asking for that. :)

Renylllyn, I purchase bulk fine glitter from many sources. In the comments below the video you will see I've mentioned a few.

Hi Meliy, they were purchased from a local dollar store in the kitchen aisle. Thanks for watching and commenting on the video. :)

Dollarama is the store’s name but that is a Canadian store. I am not sure if is nation wide but there are a lot of them in Ontario where I live.

@@sparkle5ms, you're correct. Many dollar stores and even Walmart stores carry condiment squeeze bottles.

Hi Sharon, yes I used a funnel. I share many tips/tricks over at my FB page facebook.com/CDNAuntyCrafty/

Once you get used to knowing how much glitter is required for each size of ornament you most likely won't have any glitter left in there. You can however put the extra glitter back into the glitter container or dump into trash. Start by using less than you need and only add a bit at a time until you get used to how much is required for each ornament.

Hi there, I used the polycrylic in the teal coloured can.

@@AuntyCrafty Is it the gloss finish?

Virginia, please visit my FB page for a photo of the product used. facebook.com/CDNAuntyCrafty/

Hi Deb. Thanks for watching. Most of the glitter I use is from a few different buy-in groups here in Canada. I use the extra fine crafting glitter

C Mills I’m sure that there is a little bit of loose glitter, she just didn’t shake them out in the video.🤔 I’ve made these, but I use a lot of glitter just so I know they’re gonna get coated well. Then I just tap out the excess. 🙂 Happy Crafting! 😊

@@nickijaycox7773 yes I usually have some to dump out too. I thought wow she has it down perfectly!

C Mills, once you get the hang of it, there will very minimal or no glitter left in the ornament to shake out. :)

Kelly Stanoyevic it’s a clear protective layer usually used for wood work. Like cabinets and stuff to make it easier for clean up and to protect the paint. You can find it in the paint section at hardware stores!

Polyurethane

@@willowsverge3046 NOT polyurethane! Polycrylic! Two separate products.

Paddy Fox Polycrylic is kind of a glue. I’m actually going to be trying it out myself.

@@nickijaycox7773 thank you

Polycrylic isn't a glue. It's a clear coating for painted/stained surfaces. Please visit my FB page for more info/photos of the product used. facebook.com/CDNAuntyCrafty/

Aunty Crafty whoops, my bad. 😁👍🏼

Lisa, it's not a glue. Please visit my FB page to see the product that is used for the ornaments. facebook.com/CDNAuntyCrafty/

NOT a glue! Minwax Ultra fast drying polycrylic protective finish, clear Satin, water cleanup. Ive seen some others who use a diff type of furniture polish but you can't find it now. This method is the best explained as to not get the glitter all over the place. Drain the ornaments in the cups, take the drips and put it back in the squirt bottle. Saves $ that way.

Think it's the "glue" the glitter sticks to.

It coats the ornament in preparation for the adhesion of the glitter.

Oh okay... thanks

Hi Wes, polyacrylic can be bought at hardware stores here in Canada (Home Hardware for sure has it). I'm not sure where you are located though but if you're in the states then maybe check online to see who sells it?

@@AuntyCrafty Thank you. I'll look for it...

@@AuntyCrafty can you take a picture of the poly acrylic

@@normafavela5560 , please feel free to visit my FB page to see photos and learn new tips/tricks.

Any hardware store I bought mine at Lowes

They are closed eyes with eye lashes, love.

The eyelashes can go up or down depending on the look you're going for (open or closed eyes)
