Ornament Tutorial {Frugal Gift Idea} #GlueNGlitter #ElmersHoliday

by

I found a fun ornament idea through Pinterest and wanted to recreate it. There were so many steps to it and I wanted to make it easier so that even people who weren’t crafty could make something pretty and so that it took less time to make. Here is my super easy, super frugal, and super cute ornament tutorial:

Gather your supplies:

-Clear plastic ornaments that open

-Scrapbook papers (No designs)

-Scrapbook letters

-Scissors (I used X-ACTO Precision Scissors)

-Glue pen (I used CraftBond Dual-Tip Flexible Pen)

-Optional: Double Sided Tape (I used CraftBond Double-Sided Tape)

***

Trace the plastic ornament onto your scrapbook paper and cut out the circle.

***

Add your scrapbook letters to the paper. You can do initials, words, whatever you'd like just leave space around the edges.

***

Use the glue pen to put glue around the edges of the ornament.

***

Match the edges of the ornament with the edges of the circle and press down. Hold down for a minute or so to secure. Wipe around outside edges to get extra glue off. It's ok if there is glue inside. It dries clear :)

***

Put a ribbon through the hole and glue one side to the other.

***

You can also make a bow and attach it with double sided tape if you want a bow instead of a ribbon to hang it.

***

They make great gifts, additions to packages, or you can just use them to make your tree look pretty!
