I used the Frugal Crafter's recipe for glitter paint. You take a small container with a great fitting lid and put about 1/8 of the container with the finer (not chunky) glitter color of your choice. Then add about 1/4 of the container with Pledge Future Floor Wax and then add 4 or 5 drops of matching reinker (if desired for color). I used real red by Stampin' Up. I used a 3" glass clear ornament I bought at Michael's in a four pack for about $3 on sale. Remove the top to the ornament and put somewhere you won't lose it. Have a container ready to drain your liquid into. I used the plastic top to the box my ornaments came in. Make a funnel out of paper or use a funnel and put the funnel into the top of the ornament. Pour enough of the floor wax mixture in so you can swirl it around and coat the inside. Put something over the top so the mixture doesn't go everywhere when you are swirling it. After you have coated the whole inside, drain the liquid back into your container glitter paint. Cap the glitter paint and put your ornament upside down to drain into the plastic lid or some other container that will allow it to drain. Let it set until it is dry. I let mine dry overnight. I did not think my glitter ball had enough color so I took another recipe from You Tube and poured nail polish into the ball and swirled that around until coated. The glitter still visible and the nail polish was pearlized so the ornament really looked cute when finished. I added a matching sheer bow and was happy with the results. I definitely liked using up old nail polish and old floor wax so this project is relatively inexpensive and has a great appearance when finished. I recommend you try this one!
