Jolly Snowman Ornaments

Hey everyone!  This week for the SweetSassyDiva Design Team our task was to make a last minute stocking stuffer.  I needed a last minute gift for some family members and thought these snowmen ornaments would be the perfect thing.  I originally saw this idea on Momos blog, and she has a video too!


Recipe:
*Large Glass Ornaments
*Pledge Floor Wax with Future Shine
*Martha Stewart Crystal Fine Glitter
*Martha Stewart Obsidian Pearls
*Red and White Pipe Cleaners
*Red Pom Poms
*Orange Glitter Paper
*Glue Gun

I have to say, I love the Pledge with Future Shine trick.  It coats the inside of the ornaments perfectly.  I did another set of ornaments using this technique, hopefully I can share them with you later this week.  I originally tried this with Martha's Coarse Glitter and it did NOT cover the inside of the ball well.  I switched to the Fine Glitter and it worked great :)


I also have to add that I did not own a glue gun before this project.

I KNOW.  Crazy, right?

I just never had need for one.  I bought the Martha Stewart 2 Temp Glue Gun, for two reasons.
1.) I really wanted to try the black hot glue next Halloween
2.) It's Martha Stewart, and everyone knows I own ALL of her stuff ;)

The gun worked great and now I have a glue gun for future projects :)


Have a great day everyone!  I hope you are all ready for Christmas :)
