  1. In a bowl or plastic container, dilute a little white glue with a few drops of water.
  2. Inflate a balloon to the desired size of the ball and tie it off with a knot.
  3. Attach the end of the string to the knot at the end of the balloon, then wrap the thread around the balloon firmly, but be careful not to overtighten.
  4. Roll the whole thing in the bowl to impregnate the thread with glue, or use a paint brush to brush glue over the ball. Either way do not skimp on the amount of glue used.
  5. Sprinkle glitter over the entire ball.
  6. Allow to dry for about ten hours, preferably suspended.
  7. Once the threads are dry, puncture the balloon and gently remove it.

 

Your Christmas ornament is ready! All that’s left to do is hang it up and let the magic of the holidays take over.
