DIY Rhinestone Christmas Ornaments Filled with Feathers
Make delicate Rhinestone Christmas Ornaments with feathers and a cute bow! A perfect project to add magic to a pink and/or blue holiday decor
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
