Here’s how to make a glitter ball ornament.

2. Squeezing the bottle slowly, make designs with the glue (e.g. polka dots or squiggly lines). 
3. Sprinkle glitter over the design, let it set for a couple minutes, and lightly shake off any excess. 
4. Rotate the bulb and repeat the process on the other side.

Here’s how to make a snow kissed ornament.

1. Working in a well-ventilated area, spray Loctite Multi-Purpose Spray Adhesive evenly over the surface of the ornament. Work in sections if necessary.
   
2. Roll the ornament in a bowl of fake snow to make it adhere to the surface.
3. Gently shake the ornament to release any extra snow. Set aside to dry.

2. Apply glue: For extra pinpoint accuracy in a pen form, try Loctite Precision Pen. 
3. Fix ribbon to the ornament. 
4. Add additional trim like craft gems, bows, or bells. Set aside to dry.
