no-mess glittered ornaments

One of my personal Christmas traditions is that I like to make a few new ornaments for my tree each year. They almost always involve glitter. I was talking to my sister earlier today and she remarked that if she could find a way to work extra glitter into every season, it would make her life a little happier. I agree completely - glitter makes me happy.
This year I still got the glitter I love without the accompanying mess. These kid-friendly (i.e. non-breakable) ornaments are made with wood discs and glittered cardstock. They are totally low-fuss, low-mess, high-sparkle. You should be able to find all of the supplies at your basic craft store.
First I used a small amount of hot glue to adhere a ribbon loop to each wooden disc. Then I glued my cut paper to on each side of the disc using Mod Podge. I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut the glittered circles and little shapes, but you could just as easily use a paper punch, or even cut them out by hand.
It wasn't long before I had a large set of glittery, festive new ornaments.
They really shine against the lights of the tree.
I also made a set of ornaments with my family's initials. They found a home on our newly decorated mantel (which also features glittered trees, a holiday book wreath, and felt candy cane garland from crafts of Christmas past).
I hope you have had a very merry December so far! We've been battling sickness at my house. A week after Cora was born, my husband came down with shingles and then Oscar and Ruby both caught chicken pox (and yes, they were both vaccinated). Talk about the worst transition period, ever. I wouldn't have gotten through it without my mom being here, continually saving the day! It looks like things are on the upswing now, though. Keep your fingers crossed for me that this little sweetie remains chicken pox-free, would you?
