How to Make - Glitter Frame Ornaments


I made these fun Glitter Frame Ornaments for my Christmas Tree this year and I thought I would share  the Tutorial here!




Supply List:

1) 11" x 9" Laser Cut Wood Frames (from Michaels)

2)School Glue Gel

3)Mod Podge Dimensional Magic

4)German Glass Glitter

5)Diamond Dust

6)Tinsel Ribbon (from Michaels)

7)Printable Graphics -printed on white Cardstock (see below)

Step 1: Spread a layer of the School Glue Gel on the wooden frames.


Step 2: Sprinkle the Glitter on to the frame and tap off excess. Allow to dry completely.


Step 3: Print out the Printables from above and trim them up to fit the frames. Then apply the Mod Podge Dimensional Magic to the areas that you want to highlight with a snow effect.


Step 4: Sprinkle on the Diamond Dust, to the areas where you applied the Dimensional Magic. And tap off the excess and let dry completely.


Step 5: Apply School Glue Gel to the back of the frame, just along the edge.

Step 6: Place your printed graphic face down, onto the glue and press firmly. Blot up any excess glue with a towel. Once it's dry you can add a ribbon to hang it. I used some tinsel ribbon from Michaels, it was wired and easy to twist into shape.

So pretty! This is the one that I did with the Dove ...

and here is the Christmas Tree version.

Here are all 3 of them on my Tree! You can't really tell, but they are super glittery and really shimmer!!

    2. Karen,

      I believe ScrappyMama said it best! I don't believe it could be said any better, so I will just say "I agree with ScrappyMama" and "Thank YOU."

  4. Thanks Karen! I LOVE that tree image. I have never tried glue gel. I can imagine that it would grab the glitter better and it is on my craft " to buy" list. Happy holidays and thanks again for your generosity
