CRAFT SUPPLIES:
- Plastic Christmas Bulbs
- Small Red & Brown Candies
- Red Tulip Puffy Paint
- Black Tulip Puffy Paint
- Pipe Cleaners
- Gold Glitter Paper
- Hot Glue Gun
- Scissors
DIRECTIONS:
- First things first – WASH THE ORNAMENTS! Simply remove the metal topper and soak your pieces in some soapy water.
- Rinse clean and let them air dry completely BEFORE crafting!
- Next separate your RED and BROWN M&M’s. I found some smaller bags at Target but I bet Walmart or Amazon has them too!
- Once you have the candy, simply fill your ornaments till they are full. Red for Santa and brown for Rudolph.
- Put the topper back on your ornament.
- Now is for the embellishments. I used Tulip Puffy Paint to decorate mine but you can also use any kind of paint you have on hand.
- When done, let them dry completely before adding some ribbon on the top. Then gift away!
- I hope our little post inspired you!!! Remember – these shapes can also be snowmen, the Grinch and even a gingerbread man! Just search Pinterest for some inspiration!!! #gluedtomycrafts
