Look what I made...

If your interested in the re-inker colors I used, they are, Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry, Rich Razzleberry, Real Red, Bermuda Bay, and Cameo Coral. I am so excited about how these ornaments turned out. You can get much better directions than I'm gonna give if you look on you tube. Check out my stampin crush, Dawn Griffin. I LOVE everything she does!! So, here's how I made my ornaments. I bought a box of clear ornaments from Big Lots for $3.00. I added about 25 drops of my reinkers into the bulbs, (one bulb at a time.) I then rolled my ball around until the entire inside was coated with ink and then I added some glitter in each ball and shook. I bought some rub ons and added those to the outside of my ornaments. I LOVE how they turned out. I wish I could keep them, but I made them as gifts. I'd love to know what you think. Oh, and if I'd been smarter and planned ahead, I could of easily bought most of my supplies from SU. Next year, I think I need to start planning in August at least! I'm such a procrastinator. I'd really love to know what you think! Thanks friends!!

  1. I just noticed in the picture that one of the bulbs has an empty space, if you do this technique, be sure to get the ink all over your entire bulb. It takes some time, but it's worth it, the ugly empty spot sticks out like a soar thumb!
