2. Sprinkle your mod podge covered ornament with glitter (or roll in glitter). Do the same with the inside, and move your ornament around to cover the bear spots with glitter. Optional: You may wish to paint your ornament first and then cover with glitter.

3. Once your ornament is dry, if you didn’t glitter the inside of your ornament, you may wish to paint the inside and allow to dry.
4. Using your miniature items, such as deer, mini bottle brush trees, santas, decorate the inside of your ornament. We used various fake snow and then attached each miniature item using hot glue.
