My girls love making ornaments, especially when glitter is involved! We enjoyed making these super-simple glittery initial ornaments for ourselves, and to tie on packages for friends and cousins.
Supplies:
- Wood letters, or letters cut from cardboard (such as cereal/cracker boxes)
- Glue
- Glitter!
Before adding the glitter, paint your letters if you like – we just left ours plain wood. Cover the letters with a generous amount of glue. We squeezed on the glue, then spread it all around with a paintbrush.
Here comes the fun part – shake or sprinkle on lots and lots of glitter. Make sure the whole surface is covered!
Let dry thoroughly, then shake off the extra glitter. Hot glue a ribbon on the back for hanging, and add this beautiful ornament to your tree or gift. We love a little sparkle on our Christmas tree!
Happy crafting!

Love them and so would my girls. Will add it to my list of Christmas craft activities for next year.
I am actually going to use this idea as decor for a baby shower. So glad I came across this, thank you!
