How to Make Christmas Ornaments With Glass Balls

Marbleized Ornaments

1). Open the glass ornament by unscrewing the top.
2). Pour a line of thick paint into the opening of the ornament so that the paint coats along the inside of the glass.
3). Repeat the process of making lines with several colors so that the entire inside is mostly covered in paint.
4). To marbleize the colors, turn the ornament on its side and rotate so that the paint runs together. Allow to dry before reattaching the top of the ornament.

1). Gather small items that can fit into the opening of the glass ornament: feathers, beads, seeds, tinsel, lace, candy cane fragments or anything that strikes your fancy.
2). Open the ornament by unscrewing the top.
3). Insert the small objects. For a uniform look, only insert one type of item; for another effect, add different colors of the same item or layer different items.

1). Cut a triangular piece of red felt for Santa's hat. It should be wide enough to cover half of the glass ball as a "brim."
2). Glue the "hat" onto the ornament near the top. Mod Podge glue works well for this, though other craft glues may be used.
3). Glue cotton balls to cover the bottom of the brim and add a pom-pom to the tip of the triangle to finish Santa's hat.
4). Cut out two small, black circles from felt for eyes and glue them below the hat brim so that they sit symmetrically.
5). Use more cotton balls to add a beard below Santa's eyes, where his mouth would be. Cut out and glue two red felt circles to make rosy cheeks by attaching these above his beard.
