Equipment

  • Tweezers
  • Hot glue gun and glue sticks

Ingredients

  • Clear plastic or glass ornament fillable
  • Small white feathers
  • Self-adhesive rhinestones tiny, blue, or whatever matches your color scheme
  • Blue organza ribbon for the bow
  • Small glue dots or hot glue optional, for securing the ribbon

Instructions

Step 1: Open and Prepare Your Ornament

  • Start by carefully opening the top of your clear ornament and cleaning well with alcohol to remove grease and dust.
  • Most fillable ornaments have a removable top that makes it easy to add in decorative elements. Just a gentle twist should do it, but if it feels stuck, be cautious not to crack the ornament.

Step 2: Add the Feathers

  • Gently insert the white feathers into the ornament. The goal is to create a soft, cloud-like effect that fills up about half to three-quarters of the ornament, depending on how full and fluffy you want it to look.
  • If the feathers are a bit too big, you can trim them down, but keeping them fluffy will give a cozy, snowy effect inside the ornament.

Step 3: Close the Ornament

  • Once you’re happy with how the feathers are arranged, go ahead and put back the top of the ornament.
  • Give it a gentle shake to settle the feathers if needed, but don’t worry too much about perfection. The slight randomness is part of the magic!

Step 4: Decorate with Rhinestones

  • Take your tiny self-adhesive rhinestones with your tweezers and carefully place them around the outside of the ornament. You can arrange them randomly for a scattered, sparkly look or follow a specific pattern if you like.
  • Just press each rhinestone onto the ornament’s surface, and they should stick easily.
  • Pro Tip: If you’re worried about the rhinestones staying put, add a teeny-tiny dot of clear glue before sticking them down for extra hold.

Step 5: Add the Bow

  • To finish off your ornament, tie a small, neat bow with your blue organza ribbon. Make it as big or as small as you like.
  • Attach the bow to the top of the ornament, right at the base of the hanger. You can use a glue dot or a touch of hot glue to keep it secure.

Step 6: Hang and enjoy

  • Your ornament is ready to add a sweet touch to your Pink and Blue Christmas theme!
  • Hang it up, step back, and enjoy the sparkly ornament on the gorgeous tree
