Cupcake Christmas Ornament
I saw these as I was surfing the internet, but they were made with styrofoam balls. I really thought I could do better.
Cut a length of baker's twine and hot glue it with the berry to the top:
While the paint is still wet, sprinkle the chunky glitter on the ornament.
What do you think of my version?
Here's a little tutorial so you can make some in time for Christmas!
What you will need:
- Glass ornaments - I chose pink
- Aluminum cupcake liners
- Baker's twine
- White craft paint
- Chunky glitter
- red berries - mine were cut off of a pick from the craft store
- Hot glue
First, run a bead of hot glue inside the cupcake liner:
Remove the hanger from the ornament and place the ornament in the liner with the stem tipped to the corner:
Cut a length of baker's twine and hot glue it with the berry to the top:
Next, paint the top to look like frosting:
That's it! You now have an adorable ornament to put on your tree or share with a friend. I also made some using brown ornaments - chocolate, you know! The trick with those was - 2 coats of white paint for coverage!
I think I hear a stampede headed toward the ornament aisle. No pushing or shoving! These things are glass!!!!
