Last week, we took the Wash Out for Kids Mod Podge for a spin and made these simple and pretty glitter ornaments. We had a lot of fun, and it was a quick and easy craft to do with the kids.
Supplies needed:
Clear plastic or glass ornaments, we tried both and each worked perfectly.
Wash Out for Kids Mod Podge
Glitter
Funnel
Disposable cup to hold ornament
Masking Tape (optional)
Here’s a step-by-step courtesy of my little guy, Max. His favorite color is yellow, so we used yellow glitter. My little girl Sadie made a pink one, but she was harder to catch on camera.
Step 1: Pour Mod Podge in ornament using funnel.
Step 2: Pour excess Mod Podge back into container and wash funnel.
Step 3: Pour a generous amount of glitter into the ornament.
Step 4: Cover top of ornament with finger, or seal with tape, and shake, shake, shake. Pour out excess glitter.
Step 5: Let dry upside down and overnight by placing in disposable cup.

December 11, 2013 at 5:10 amHi Melissa, I tried these with my daughter but they came out dull instead of shiny. Do you have any suggestions – too much mod podge, not enough glitter? Thanks, Penny

Did you use Mod Podge? It dries crystal clear. Can you explain what you mean by dull?

I did this a few years ago (with floor wax instead of mod podge) and used multiple colors of glitter. I turn the ornament a bit so I could get it right on the side and the effect is gorgeous. 2 years later and they still look good. We used plastic and gave one to everyone we knew for under $1, they made great teacher/coach/volunteer gifts.
