For today's project I decided to make a Christmas ornament. Another quick and easy gift. I started out with a clear Christmas ornaments which I picked up last year after Christmas for dirt cheap at Michael's. I then added a little bit of floor polish and swirled in around on the inside of the empty bulb , making sure to cover it well then threw out the extra polish in my garbage can. I then added about 1/3 of the bottle of glitter and swirled that around making sure to cover it all, it sticks to the floor polish like glue. Then if there is any extra glitter inside of the ornament I also threw that into the garbage can.
After letting it dry I cut a Cricut head at 3 inches using my Cricut cartridge A Garden of Words using 2 shades of vinyl. This is the first time I layered vinyl so I think with a bit of practice the next one will be better. I then added a bow to the top and there you have another cheap Christmas ideal. Last year I even added the person name, a Christmas greeting and the year on the back of the ornament. A keepsake for years to come. If you do not own a Cricut to cut the vinyl, I found that rub-ons work very well also.
Here is a picture of the blog candy that I will be giving away for this hop. It is a brand new cartridge, but the shell has been removed. I was so excited when I got this cartridge and did not realize it was for the imagine machine, which sadly I do not own.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. Now it is time to send you off to the amazing talented

Cute bug head ornament! I wanted to try this technique last year but never got around to it. Maybe I'll make some for gifts this year since I'll be on a shoestring budget. Thanks for the tip about rub-ons too!
