Shake-and-Make Glitter Ornaments

Shake-and-Make Glitter Ornaments

by: Beth Wickwire Remillard

Use an unexpected baking tool to add some sparkle to your tree.

Squirt the glue into a sandwich bag.

Add a cookie cutter (we used a star), seal the bag, and have your child smush glue over every inch of the cookie cutter. Then use the paintbrush or the skewer to get the glue into the tips, points, or hard-to-reach spots on the cookie cutter.

Put the glitter in a second bag and drop in the glue-drenched cookie cutter. Seal the bag.

Have your child shake this bag until the cookie cutter is covered with glitter.

Remove the cookie cutter from the bag and set on waxed paper to dry completely, about a day.

Gently tap off any excess glitter. Tie a ribbon or string at the top and hang the ornament. Repeat with as many cookie cutters as desired.

2 to 3 tablespoons white glue

Sealable sandwich bags

Metal cookie cutter

Small paintbrush or wooden skewer

2 tablespoons or more of glitter (fine or extra fine)

10 to 12 inches of ribbon or string

Waxed paper
