Christmas Sparkling Ornaments

Make your holidays shine with these simple holiday decorations.

1. Spread recycled newspaper over your work area. Gather several plain, shiny, unbreakable Christmas tree balls.

2. Using Crayola® Glitter Glue, write names, messages, and designs on the bulbs. Dry overnight.

3. Tie a long ribbon in a bow, loop ends, and knot to hang.

Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project.

Glitter Glue— WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD—Small parts. Not for children under 3 years. Not for use on skin.

Adult Assistance is required for this arts & crafts project.

String-Like Materials—Includes string, raffia, lacing, yarn, ribbon, and other similar material. Children 3 years and younger should not be given any string-like material that is longer than 12 inches. Close adult supervision is essential whenever children use string-like material. When crafts are to be worn around the necks of children 8 years and younger, attach the ends of the “string-like material” with clear adhesive tape, which allows easy release of the bond if the craft becomes entangled or caught on equipment. For children older than 8 years, the ends of the “string-like material” may be tied and knotted.

"Sparkling Ornaments is a great family tradition. We added the date, and will make these for years to come."
Marty F., dad of two kids ages 6 and 9.

"Our class made Sparkling Ornaments for people in the community who are lonely during the holidays."
Jane H., school volunteer

Children in Sweden light candles in windows and leave bowls of porridge on Christmas Eve so Jultomten, a gnome-like Santa figure, can find his way to leave gifts for them.
