In this step-by-step tutorial, learn how to make Glitter Christmas Ornaments using iridescent plastic ball ornaments.
Looking for a fun, easy DIY project this Christmas? These DIY glitter Christmas ornaments are easy to make with friends and family.
In this tutorial, I'll share my tips and tricks for creating one of these glittery ornaments in just two steps. First, let's go over the supplies needed and the best glue and glitter to use.
I found these iridescent Christmas ball ornaments and chunky glitter in a variety of colors and sizes to make these ornaments at my local craft store, Michaels. Each of them only took less than a half hour to make!
What is the Best Glue to Use ?
For this project, I used Varathane Ultimate Polyurethane, but you can also use Mod Podge water-based glue, Minwax Polycrylic, Beacon Glitter-It, or even floor wax. All are good choices, but I prefer Polyurethane because it dries quickly and stays clear.
Drying times can vary depending on the type of glue or sealant you're using. Mine took 24 hours to dry completely, but some may take 48 hours. I recommend looking at the directions on the adhesive you chose.
What Types of Glitter Should I Use?
I found the large, chunky glitter made beautiful ornaments and covered the inside nicely. You can also mix and match glitters! Sometimes chunky glitter can leave small patches - adding finer glitter helps cover those bald spots.
How to Stop the Ornaments from Flaking
If you notice your ornament is flaking even after waiting for the 24-hour dry time, I suggest using another coat of sealant, such as Mod Podge, to keep the glitter in place.
You can also hot glue the metal lid to the ornament after letting the glitter and glue dry to prevent any glitter from falling out.
Another way to try and stop the glitter from falling is to clean the clear ornament with some alcohol and let it dry completely to prevent any separation from happening due to debris in the future. (Do this before adding adhesive or glitter to the inside of your clear ornament).

Supplies Needed
- 100 mm Clear Plastic Iridescent Ornaments
- Varathane Ultimate Polyurethane
- Chunky Glitter
- Fine Glitter
- Syringe
Step One: Pour Adhesive into Ornament
Begin by removing the metal lid and pour 1-2 tablespoons of your adhesive into the ornament. I used a syringe to pour in my adhesive quickly and without a mess.
Gently swirl the ornament around the coat the entire inside thoroughly. If you have any excess, dump it back into the container.
Place the ornament upside down in a plastic cup to let any excess liquid drip out.
Step Two: Pour Glitter into Ornament
Next, create a small funnel using paper by rolling it up and placing it into the bulb. Pour the glitter through the funnel, and roll the ornament until the inside of the ornament is completely coated in glitter.
Once the inside of the ornament is fully coated, grab a plastic cup and place your ornament upside down to let excess glitter fall out.
Turn the ornament right side up and et your ornaments dry completely for 24-48 hours. Once it's dried, remove your ornament from the cup and replace the metal lid.
If you see any patches of flaked glitter, add more glitter and seal it into place.
Finished Ornaments
These ornaments turned out beautifully! For the final touch, I tied velvet, chiffon, and sequined bows to my finished glitter ornaments. I can't wait for you to try this easy Christmas craft!
