How to Make a Glitter Mason Jar Ornament
Supplies needed to make your own glitter mini mason jar ornament:
- Ball 4 oz Mini Storage Jars
- Decoupage medium (any brand works fine including Mod Podge)
- Glitter
- Screw driver
- Ribbon
- Paint brush
Start by coating the inside of your jar with decoupage medium. Be sure to use a paint brush to coat the entire surface and remove any excess. Remember we are doing this on the inside to help control the mess!
Start sprinkling in the glitter and rolling it around until the entire inside is covered with glitter! It will look cloudy from the outside but it will dry clear. It took me about 1/2 of one of these tubes of glitter to coat the inside of the ornament.
Leave the lid off to allow the entire thing to dry completely. This will take about 24 hours. In the meantime you will need a hole in the center of your lid. I used a screwdriver and a block of wood to press in a hole.
String a ribbon through the hole and tie a knot on the inside. Add the lid once the ornament is completely dry. The ornament will be gorgeous and glittery and not cloudy at all!
This glitter mini mason jar ornament is perfect for your tree or even give them as gifts. They are so perfect for anyone that loves mason jars.
Here are two of the ornaments I made next to a regular pint sized mason jar for a little size comparison. So cute and small right?

They are adorable but almost $20 for four jars is a little excessive. Wish there was another source for them.
I don’t know where you are seeing that? Right now they are $5.99 for four.
Those are the cutest ornaments I have ever seen! These are going on my “to-do” list!
Love these. Simple and easy to do yet they look elegant.
So simple, but SO cute!
