Foam and Glitter Ornaments

DAY TWELVE:

I know we have been making a lot of ornaments lately, but they are so fun and make great gifts! Not to mention the fact that before these crafts, I only had about 10 ornaments for our tiny little tree ;)

WHAT YOU NEED:
     - 1 Sheet of Foam paper (or as much as you want to make)
     - glue and brush
     - glitter in variety of colors

Before you begin, Google a few ornament templates and choose your favorite. Transfer the template to your foam paper and cut them out. Put a hole punch on the top of each ornament. Loosely tape each shape to a paper bag.

Let your toddler paint on the glue. You want a good amount so the glitter can stick, and you can't take too long or the glue will dry.

Then let your little one shake the glitter like a polaroid picture crazy. Hopefully your floor won't be covered when you are done like mine was! You can do each one a different color, all multi-colored, or even create patterns if you have an older child. Roo's ended up all multi-colored, not surprisingly.

After you and your child are satisfied with them, take them outside and spray them with a clear adhesive. This will prevent the glitter from flaking off any time you touch or move them. Let them dry overnight. Loop a 5-6 inch ribbon through the hole punch and hang on the tree!
