Use about 2 tsp water-based varnish (or anything liquid and clear drying) swirled on the inside, then drain for a few minutes, pour about 2 tsp silver extra fine glitter inside and shake until covered, pour out excess glitter to reuse. Allow to dry overnight then dab on alcohol inks to outside with felt applicator tool. I also dabbed alcohol ink on the metal hanger on the purply one. You get richer color if you don't use any blending solution, but everything dries faster so you have less open time to work without reapplying
Ornament hangers are just 18 g craft wire with beads. Copper wire is firmer and will hold shape better, aluminum is easier to work with but will bend out of shape if you aren't a little careful. I used a nail polish bottle to get the shape of the top hook, and a very large crochet hook size Q for the bottom hook shape. Here are some more http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ga...;ppuser=316610
Needs a better topper than a bow, so suggestions welcomed. TFL.
