Cupcake Christmas Ornament

I saw these as I was surfing the internet, but they were made with styrofoam balls. I really thought I could do better.

What do you think of my version?

Here's a little tutorial so you can make some in time for Christmas!

What you will need:

• Glass ornaments - I chose pink
• Aluminum cupcake liners
• Baker's twine
• White craft paint
• Chunky glitter
• red berries - mine were cut off of a pick from the craft store
• Hot glue

First, run a bead of hot glue inside the cupcake liner:

Remove the hanger from the ornament and place the ornament in the liner with the stem tipped to the corner:

Cut a length of baker's twine and hot glue it with the berry to the top:



Next, paint the top to look like frosting:

While the paint is still wet, sprinkle the chunky glitter on the ornament.

That's it!  You now have an adorable ornament to put on your tree or share with a friend.  I also made some using brown ornaments - chocolate, you know!  The trick with those was - 2 coats of white paint for coverage!

I think I hear a stampede headed toward the ornament aisle.  No pushing or shoving!  These things are glass!!!!

Happy Crafting!
