Gather These Supplies

Clear round glass ornaments (I used the flatter round ones)
Sparkle Mod Podge
Wide paintbrush
Vinyl letters
Tweezers
Paper shreds or pompoms (as fillings for the ornament, optional)

Tips and Tricks for This Project

Make sure the ornaments are clean before using. Use mild soap and water or rubbing alcohol and a cotton ball. You want to make sure there are no fingerprints or oils on your glass surface.

You can use Extreme Glitter Mod Podge or even Mega Glitter for this project – but if you use either of those formulas, I recommend using a spouncer for application.

One idea I had – I wonder what these would look like with some paint inside them? You wouldn’t see the sparkling lights through the ornament, but it’s another idea.

Materials

Clear round glass ornaments I used the flatter round ones
Mod Podge Sparkle
Vinyl letters
Paper shreds or pompoms as fillings for the ornament, optional

Instructions

Remove the top of the ornament by carefully pulling it out. Clean the ornament’s surface using a cotton pad with alcohol and let it dry. Once dry, attach your vinyl letter, making sure it is centered. Burnish all sides to ensure no edges lift up during the Mod Podging process.
Use a wide brush to cover the ornament in Sparkle Mod Podge, taking care to not miss any corners and edges. I applied one thick coat all over the front and back.
Remove the vinyl letter while the Mod Podge is still wet, using a pair of tweezers or a pointed tool to lift up the edges carefully. Use the same tool to clean up any edges where Mod Podge has seeped through. Stand your ornament upside down to dry.
Once the first coat is dry, add a second layer of Sparkle Mod Podge, taking care not to go over the monogram’s lines. Let it dry.
Fill if desired. Carefully add the paper shreds inside and add the ornament top back on.
