    If you are crafting with kids, use plastic ball ornaments! Your little helpers will have a blast filling their ornaments with treasures.

    Here's what you need to make these Fancy-Filled Ornaments:
    1 box Clear Glass or Plastic Christmas Balls - available at Michael's or your local craft store
    Filler:
    wire star garland
    silver and gold confetti
    silver and gold mini sparkle poms
    ribbon
    tinsel
    sequins

    Step 1: Carefully remove metal ornament tops and set aside. (if you are crafting with kids, this is an adult step)
    Step 2: Using a small piece of paper, roll into a funnel and insert into ornament opening.
    Step 3: Use funnel to fill ornament with confetti, glitter, or other small objects. This will help you avoid making a mess!
    Step 4: Re-attach the ornament top and finish by tying on a loop of ribbon or wire for hanging.

        Yes! And it's perfect for kids if you use the plastic ornament balls. I even thought it would be cute to fill these with little Christmas candies like red and green M&M's for kids. 😉

      Literally just did this with gold confetti! And good call on the plastic balls…I had a glass one go down (confetti filled already) and it was quite a lovely mess! Love this DIY!
