How do you fill clear Christmas ornaments?
Clear round Christmas ornaments like the one used in this project are actually quite simple to fill. You can fill them carefully, right from the bag of decorative glitter balls, or you can use a small funnel, to make the process even easier.
When decorating a tree what goes on first?
You will always put the lights on first when you decorate your tree for Christmas. Once the lights are on, you can add the ornaments, garland, and picks in whichever order you would like. Some people find it easier to do garland last, and arrange it around the ornaments.
Is it bad luck to take your Christmas tree down before New Year’s?
When it comes to superstitions, it is said that you should take your tree down before midnight on New Year’s Eve, so that you will not have bad luck in the new year. However, January 5th is the 12th day of Christmas, so many people choose to gain their closure on this day.

DIY Santa Ornament
Materials
- Plastic ball ornament
- Small decorative glitter balls
- Black ribbon - ¼ inch thick
- Gold washi tape (¾ inch - ½ inch wide)
- Glue dots
- Scissors
Instructions
- Wrap the ribbon around the ball ornament, and cut when the ends meet.Â
- Apply a glue dot to one end, then one in the middle, and one at the other end. Make sure that the ribbon lines up and appears to look even through this process.
- Cut about ½ - ¾ inch piece of washi tape, making sure it is straight on each end. I cut a larger piece, and used an Exacto knife to make sure that the end cuts were nice and straight. Apply to the center of ribbon with a glue dot, for added sticking ability. (this becomes Santa’s “beltâ€)
- Remove the top from the ornament. Fill the ornament with the red glitter balls. Replace the top of the ornament.
