YES! This week's DIY is another GLITTER project! These ornaments are the perfect gift for anyone who cherishes photos. It's a great way to give out this year's family portrait & it also makes a great wedding gift!

Don't let the list of things needed intimidate you...this project is quick AND easy!

Shrunken picture - make sure the copy is made with color fast ink so the photo doesn't bleed...
Glue - I used Modge Podge
Disposable mascara wand
Clear ornament
Mixing cup
1/4" ribbon
Glitter
Scissors
Gift box

Once your ornament is dry and before you put the upside down crown back on, it's a good idea to spray your ornament generously with Krylon crystal clear gloss. This will help keep the glitter on the ornament as well as protect the picture on the front. Another option for this project is to put the picture INSIDE of the ornament rather than the outside...I haven't tried it that way, but it seems to me that it might work just as well!
