I loved this technique. I put about 20 drops of the reinker into the bulb, while turning the bulb so that the ink was dropped into all the sides... then I just patiently turned and rolled the ornament around until the ink covered every little centimeter of the bulb. If it is too thick to cover, or if the color is darker than what you had in mind, just add a drop or two of water to it while rolling the ink around.
Then I propped it up upside down for just a few minutes to let any extra ink run out. Let it dry for just a little while before tipping it over and pouring the glitter in. I didnt let it dry inside completely, but just a little so that when I tipped it back over to put the glitter in the ink didnt just run back down to the bottom... does that make sense?
the second you put the glitter in.... and dont use it sparingly... instantly cover the hole with your thumb or a napkin and shake it vigorously to make the glitter get on all of the ink inside. then I propped it upside down again for a little while just to let any extra "stuff" fall out. then wipe away the edge of the opening, and your done!!!!!!!

Thanks for the instructions! I tried one the other day, but didn't prop it upside down for the extra ink to drip out, so the bottom half is darker than the top. Now I know how to get even coverage!! Thanks again for sharing!
