Vintage Glitter Snowball
{Handmade Ornament No.23}
Welcome…Taylor!

Hello there! Is there room for another dreamer under this table? I’m Taylor, the creator of MaryJanes and Galoshes. Thank you for having me here, it sure is cozy, I’m sure we’ll be quick friends.
I was told you enjoy handmade ornaments for the holidays so I’m here to share a little something I came up with. MaryJanes and Galoshes is all about modern style with a vintage influence and I think you will see that in my ornament. I live in Wisconsin so we can’t have Christmas without a little (okay, who am I kidding, a LOT) of snow! And snow means snowballs!
Styrofoam ball (mine is 2.5 inches, but any size will do)
Cotton batting (just enough to make a thin layer over ball)
White glue
White paint
Glitter (I used Martha Stewart’s crystal)
7 inches ribbon
Paper
Printer (optional)
Small foam brush (optional)
Wooden skewer (optional)
Small pins with colored heads
Hot glue gun
Once dry pull the stick out, or if you chose not to use one make a hole in the top of your ball. Fold your ribbon in half and knot, trim the ends.

Thank you Taylor for sharing this adorable ornament – the ‘snow’ is so clever and creative. I just adore the vintage feel and love the added banner – fantastic job!

Taylor shares such fun projects over at MJ&G; here are a few of my favorites: Gorgeous Ruffled Table Skirt; Doodle Book made from a recycled hardcover book; Vintage Bingo Marker Tacks {love these}; Adorable Wooden Spool Topiaries; Unique Twig Tacks; The coolest {and easiest} Shadow Box Bank; and one beautiful Butterfly Wreath.

Darling ideas!!
I am so glad you hosted the handmade ornament postings-Everyone has been so creative and it has been great to be introduced to blogs that I had not discovered yet! Also you ran the party early enough for us to create the ornaments in time for decorating for the beautiful season.
It’s fantastic, I love it!!!
The banner is fab!!!

These are perfection! I love them. And her vintage fab style is a reason why I’ve been a recent follower of her blog. And it’s constantly FAB-0!
