Today I have a quick and easy monogram glitter ornament tutorial. It’s perfect for gift giving and totally customizable. Last week I shared an easy stencil technique for a glitter ornament and this is just another way that you can get a cute design out of glitter.
To make your own you will need the following:
- 2×3 Wood Pieces (I found these at the craft store in small packages)
- Paint
- Glitter
- Mod Podge
- Rubber Stamp
- Ribbon
- Begin by drilling a hole in your wood piece. If you’re not comfortable using a drill feel free to just glue your ribbon on at the end to allow it to hang.
- Next paint your wood piece making sure to cover the edges. After the paint dries apply a single coat of Mod Podge and allow to dry.
- Paint a thin even layer of Mod Podge onto a scrap surface and place your stamp on it like it is an ink pad and then stamp your wood piece with the Mod Podge.
- If you don’t like how it stamped you can quickly rinse it off and start again.
- Next sprinkle generously with gold. Allow to set for at least an hour. Tap off the excess glitter and if necessary you might want to take a dry brush to clear the rest of the glitter.
- String a ribbon through the hole tie a knot then form a loop and tie a bow to allow it to hang. Hang on your tree or give it as as gift.
