Instructions:

1. To glitter your buttons, working in a well ventilated area, spray one side of buttons with Fast Grab Tacky Spray. Sprinkle with glitter. Shake off excess. Let dry. If desired, repeat glittering on other side of buttons.
    
2. Spray glittered pieces with Gloss. Let dry. This will help to keep the glitter from falling off when you wear your barrette.
    
3. If needed, cut hanger from snowflake ornament. Apply E-6000 Glue to back of barrette. Glue to back of ornament, holding in place with clothespins while the glue dries.
    
4. Continue to glue glitter snowflakes on top of ornament and finish by gluing pearl on top.
    
5. Keeping the clothespins in place, suspend the barrette over the top of a jar to hold it flat and does not wobble while all the glue dries.
