Friends, as many of you know, here at One Artsy Mama we have an annual ornament exchange when Christmas time rolls around. Lots of you signed up to participate again this year {if you missed it, be sure to watch for sign-ups at the beginning of next November!}, and I like to play along too! My partner, Cate, loves glitter and gold, so I decided to combine them in one fun and festive ornament.
Materials:
Chalkboard ornament {or wooden ornament and chalkboard paint}
David Tutera Chalk Pen
Mod Podge or glue
Painter’s Tape
Gold Glitter
Step 1: Write your message on the top part of the ornament.
I chose the word, “believe,” but you can use anything you like. If you use a name, this could easily double as a gift tag!
Step 2: Place a piece of painter’s tape across the ornament where you want the glitter to stop.
Try not to let the tape touch the chalk. I actually folded my tape in half to make it thinner.
Step 3: Apply Mod Podge to the bottom section of the ornament, then shake glitter on top.
You may want to do this step outdoors or over a trash can so that you don’t end up with excess glitter everywhere.
That’s it! One easy-peasy and pretty ornament all ready to hang on the tree or send to your friend!

It looks great! I’ll take a picture of them both and tag you on instagram! Thanks so much for the great ornament and I can’t wait for you to get yours!
