I absolutely love the look of these ornaments, and they honestly couldn't be easier to make! It may take a lot of time, but it takes VERY little effort.
You will need:
- Small glass ornaments (the small size is important because they get too heavy otherwise)
- Glass beads- color of your choice
- E6000 Glue
- Paintbrush, pencil, something long and narrow
- Ribbon
- Tiny jingle bell
Simply squeeze a small amount of E6000 glue into the ornament, covering about one quarter of the ornament. Shake it gently for just a few seconds to help it become slightly tacky and to help distribute it a bit more.
Then, pour some beads into the ornament, turning and gently shaking to help them find the glue. You will probably also need to use a pencil or the end of a paintbrush to help spread the beads out by pressing gently on them to even out any clumps of beads.

Let this dry for at least a couple hours. Then, repeat the process until the ornament is completely filled with beads.
Gently place the top back on the ornament, and string on a jingle bell with some ribbon.
So simple, and totally doable! Are you making any Christmas crafts this year?
this is a great idea to make with kids, no babies, but yep with todlers, love it!

Thank you!! Be careful with this glue, though- it's pretty potent!
DeleteI actually thought you just filled the ornament with beads but I like this idea better, it wouldn't be as heavy and uses up less material. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI thought about that too- it's uses so much less beads this way! But if you used bigger, plastic beads, it might be easier to just fill the ornament...
DeleteThese look so cool! Love it:)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I was really excited with how they turned out- I made one with white beads, too!
