Here's how:
• Safety Note: These glass ornaments are fragile and will break. Be especially careful removing and reattaching the cap/hanger. The edges of the mouth are particularly apt to break and may also be sharp.
• Draw a 2 �” circle on the transparency in pencil. (or whatever size you need to make it fit inside your particular glass ball)
• Using Staz-on, stamp the desired image. Be careful to stamp straight down and pull straight up….Staz-on is very “slippery”! Let dry a few minutes. Color on the BACK with Sharpie Markers. [coloring on the front will smear the staz-on even when it is dry!]
• OPTIONAL: Apply a small puddle of Crystal Effects to back of the image, and smear it around with your finger to completely cover the back. Sprinkle with glitter. Shake off the excess and let dry completely.
• Carefully remove the cap of the ornament and set aside.
• Cut out the circle carefully along the pencil line. Punch a 1/16” hole at the top. Thread a 5” length of gold cord through the hole.
• With the glittered side of the circle facing up, tightly roll the circle up like a sausage. Be sure the glittered side of the circle is inside the “sausage”.
• Holding tightly, insert the sausage into the ornament, holding onto the cording. When the sausage gets inside the ornament, it will pop open! Thread the ends of the cord through the holes in the cap and tie. Reattach the cap.
• Tie on a big length of organdy ribbon for a pretty bow, and add a cording loop for hanging on the tree.
