Today I'm using my Fairydust Glitter to create some Christmas ornaments.

Here are some photos of each ornament. These first two were made by using a liquid adhesive inside a glass bulb then I shook some Pralines & Cream Fairydust glitter inside.

On the first bulb I used my Grand Peony Creations and Rose Creations flower dies from Spellbinders. 

On the ornament below I used denim from the Blue Gene Baby Etsy shop.

 Here are the instructions for how I made the last ornament.

I used Crafty Power Tape from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L to create the design.

 After removing the backing, I sprinkled Fairydust Glitter over the adhesive and rubbed it in until it wasn't sticky anymore.

Cut several pieces of tulle into circles.

I used fringe scissors to cut the edges.

I adhered the tulle layers together with Fabri-Tac.

I adhered a flower made with several of my flower dies from Spellbinders to the tulle circles

with Fabri-Tac.

I used Glue Gloss on the edges of the Tulle.

I sprinkled Fairydust Glitter over the Glue Gloss.

I adhered the flower to the bulb using 3D Dodz from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

I tied a tulle bow using the Bow-it-All and I added 3D Dodz so I can adhere it to the ornament.

I used a heat gun to make the tulle all wonky.

I finished by adhering the bow to the ornament.

Special tip: When putting glitter back in the bottle make sure you take the lid off over a piece of paper to catch the glitter stuck in the threads.

Here are close ups of the finished ornament:
