  • Clean the surface of your glass ornament if necessary.

  • Begin by putting a small line of hot glue around the very top of the ornament and then immediately laying your twine flat on top of the glue.

  • Repeat this over and over again until the ornament is covered. (Line of glue, press the twine down on top of it, repeat).

  • Cover twine in Mod Podge using a foam paint brush. At this point you can let dry and leave as is, or you can add glitter.

  • If you are adding glitter, it is easier to work one half of the ornament at a time. Pour the glitter over the ornament until the desired coverage is reached.

Notes

Be sure to pour the glitter over a bowl or something similar to catch all the excess so it can be reused.
