Items Needed:

• Galaxy Glitter 2 oz - Silver Moon (DGG02-30)
• Galaxy Glitter 2 oz - Champagne Starburst (DGG14-30)
• Clear Plastic Ornaments
• Jumbo Wooden Craft Sticks
• Silver Beads
• Jingle Bells, Various Sizes
• Silver And Gold Curling Ribbon
• Black Grosgrain Ribbon
• Paint Brush
• Scissors
• Ruler

Instructions:

Let's create some noisemakers! Remove the metal cap from the clear plastic ornament and fill the ornament up halfway with silver beads. Replace the metal cap. Paint outside of the ornament with Galaxy Glitter™ in Champagne Stardust using a flat paintbrush. Set aside to dry and apply a second coat. Once dry, flip ornament over and apply two coats, letting them dry in between.

Tie black grosgrain ribbon in a large bow. Measure and cut 24” of silver and gold curling ribbon, feed through back of bow and then thread on the ornament. Tie curling ribbon in a knot, securing the ornament onto the large black bow. Curl ribbon by pulling across the blade of an open pair of scissors and your thumb. Cut notches from ends of black ribbon to finish.

Basecoat the front, back, and sides of a jumbo craft stick with DecoArt® Americana® Acrylics in Lamp Black. I love Americana Acrylics for their one coat coverage on most surfaces. Apply two coats of Galaxy Glitter™ in Silver Moon to the front and back of the craft stick and let them dry completely.

Measure and cut three 24” lengths of silver and gold curling ribbon. Tie a variety of jingle bells onto the craft stick, securing with knots. Curl the ribbon ends with scissors.

Basecoat a paper party horn with Americana® Acrylics in  Lamp Black. Mine were left over from a birthday party. Apply two coats of Galaxy Glitter™ in Silver Moon to the paper party horn and letting them dry completely in between.

Measure and cut 24” of silver and gold curling ribbon. Thread one or two jingle bells onto each ribbon and tie around the base of the party horn. Secure with a knot and curl the ribbon ends with scissors.
