The glitter ornament DIY helps you save the money you would normally spend on sparkling tree decorations every year.

It’s an easier process than you might have considered, and as with most DIY projects you are able to put your own personal twist on it. You first need a simple [clear Christmas bulb](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-bulb). In order to get the glitter to stick to the insides of the glass shell, you need to coat the interior with floor polish. You must ensure that the inside is completely coated or else your bulb will lack dazzling finesse. Then you funnel in the glitter or [star confetti](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invincibility-star) and shake your bulb like maracas.

The Glitter Ornament DIY gives you the power to make [pretty festive tree hangings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/little-me-ornaments) that look nicer than the store bought ones.
