A fun, low-prep DIY project for families to create beautiful crystal star ornaments using simple materials.

Ingredients

  • Clear plastic ornaments
  • Crystal filigree embellishments
  • Decorative ribbon
  • Craft glue (optional)
  • Glitter
  • String for hanging

Instructions

  1. Begin with your clear plastic ornament. Carefully remove the top to make it easier to fill.
  2. Using your craft glue, apply it inside the ornament. A thin layer is enough to help your chosen glitter or embellishments stick.
  3. Sprinkle in the glitter or fit in the crystal filigree embellishments. Swirl or gently shake the ornament to coat the inside evenly.
  4. Once you’re happy with the design inside, let the ornament sit for a short while to set.
  5. As it dries, cut a piece of ribbon to your desired length. This will serve as the hanger for your ornament.
  6. After a few minutes, replace the top of the ornament. Press it down gently to ensure it is secure.
  7. Thread the ribbon through the top, creating a loop for hanging.
  8. For a final touch, tie the ribbon in a bow. This adds a charming detail to your beautiful ornament.
  9. Admire your creation! Hang it on your tree, a window, or give it as a gift.
