Fill 'Em Up...Easy Ornaments

I am always trying to find ways to create something new without spending a ton of money.  I love to use the plain, clear glass ornaments from Hobby Lobby.  One year I decided to decorate the inside of the ornament rather than the outside.  You can fill these great ornaments with an endless number of things.  I was going for the sparkle with these particular ornaments so I filled them with irredescent snow.  They are really easy to make and look amazing with the lights from your tree, wreath or garland shining through.



Supplies
Clear glass ornaments
Ornament filler
Small funnel
Pen, pencil, long nail, etc. (something to poke filling through)



Instructions
  • Remove cap from ornament
  • Insert the funnel into the mouth of the ornament

  • Pour filling into the funnel and down into the ornament.  You can fill them as little or as much as you'd like.
    • You will likely need some sort of utensil (pen, pencil, long nail, etc) to lightly force your filling through the bottom of the funnel and into the ornament

  • Replace the cap and your ornament is ready to hang.
