I was feeling in the Holiday spirit, so I made some ornaments for all the other sororities on my campus. Other sororities go caroling during the holidays and give out handmade ornaments, so it seemed like a cute idea to do as well.
I just bought clear glass ornaments at Michael's (which are 40% off this week), fake "snow flurries," and some cute clearance bin ribbon.
First, I filled the ornaments. I just used my finger to push the fake snow inside. It was a little messy, so I put a shallow box underneath as I stuffed. I filled them about halfway with snow. Luckily, I had blue paint sitting around, so painted the letters for the other chapters on each ornament. I let the front sides dry, and then painted another coat of the paint. On the backs I painted a heart and KKG.
These were so easy to make, I want to make myself some with maybe beads inside. It also could look neat if you put water-downed paint inside the ornament. It could drip down the inside, or you could shake it up for a marbleized look.
