Print Project

Step 1

Run a strip of ¼" [0.64 cm] adhesive tape, vertically, from the top of one side, down the centre, around the bottom and back up to the top of the other side of your ornament.
TIP: Leave the red covering on the tape until you are ready to add the glitter.

Step 2

Repeat Step 2 another time about halfway between the strips (from Step 1) which will form “+”.
TIP: Use an X-ACTO® knife to cut the tape at the intersection so you are able to remove the red covering later.

Step 3

Repeat Step 2, this time with 1/8" [0.32 cm] adhesive tape, between the current strips so you have eight even sections of ornament surface between adhesive strips.

Step 4

Remove red covering from the last tape stripe placed on ornament, shake your glitter over the exposed tape until covered completely.
TIP: Shake the glitter over a paper plate so it is easy to clean up and return excess glitter to its container.

Step 5

Repeat Step 4 for each strip until all have been glittered.

Step 6

Make a small red bow with your ribbon and hot glue to the top of ornament(s).
