Easy Glitter Christmas Ornaments
This week I’m hosting Craft Lightning with Angie from The Country Chic Cottage and Carolina from 30 Minute Crafts. All week I’ll be sharing glitter crafts that you can make in 15 minutes or less! At the bottom of the post, I’m sharing more glitter project ideas from other awesome bloggers.
Check out all of my glitter projects from this week (I’ll add them as the week goes on!):

I recently discovered the EASIEST way to make glitter ornaments. You can make several glitter Christmas ornaments in just a few minutes. The hardest part of this craft is figuring out when to stop!
Supplies for DIY Glitter Ornaments
Here are the supplies you need to make these super easy glitter Christmas ornaments – and there’s only 3 things to buy!
- Clear Plastic Ornaments (or Glass Ornaments)
- Glitter – I like the look of Fine or Extra fine best (here’s Glitter similar to what I used available on Amazon; visit A Little Muggle Magic for the exact glitter)
- Beacon Glitter-It! Adhesive (this is the EASIEST way to make these glitter ornaments – substitute at your own risk!)
Note: this post is NOT sponsored by Beacon Adhesives. I found this product on Amazon and ordered it to check it out – and the results are amazing!
How to Make Quick Glitter Ornaments
Here’s a quick video showing how to make the ornaments, and keep reading for the photo/written tutorial!
This craft lightning project is as simple as reading the directions on the Glitter It! package. Glitter-It is designed specifically for glass decor, but I’ve found that it worked equally as well with plastic ornaments.
- Remove the top of the ornament (where the hook attaches).
- Pour a small amount of Glitter-It! into the ornament and swirl around to completely coat the ornament. It is much more water-like than typical glue, so don’t be surprised by the consistency.
- As you swirl the adhesive towards the top of the ornament, drain it back into the bottle and drain for up to 20 seconds.
- Sprinkle a small amount of glitter into the ornament and swirl around (or shake lightly if necessary) to cover the whole ornament in glitter.
- Shake out excess glitter (you can put it back into the original container) and let ornament dry.
- Replace the top of the ornament and hang on your tree!
