Scrubber ornaments

glitter

Thread

Brush

Paint

Method:

Cut the scrubber into small circles. Mix fevicol, paint and glitter, in a throw away bowl to make a gloopy mixture. Use a brush and paint the circles with dollops of this mixture. Leave to dry. Add a string behind the circle to hang them. Use a cello tape or glue to adhere.

Caution: I only used glitter instead of this gloopy mixture. The fine glitter powder made a mess. If you have balcony, use that to make anything involving glitter powder 🙂

Pipecleaner ornaments

Leave a loop where you can insert the thread and tie it up to make a hanging. Wound the third pipecleaner to same as the first to make a secure shiny ball.
