If you enjoyed making the Glitzy & Glittery Ornament Critter, there are plenty of other fun Christmas crafts that you can try your hand at to add some sparkle and whimsy to your holiday decor. Here are three suggestions for festive projects that you might enjoy:

1. Sparkling Snowflake Wreath: Create a beautiful winter wonderland wreath using a styrofoam wreath form, glue, and plenty of glitter! Cut out snowflake shapes from cardstock or foam sheets, cover them in glue, and then sprinkle with glitter for a shimmering effect. Attach the snowflakes to the wreath form with hot glue, alternating sizes and colors for a stunning display that will dazzle your guests.

2. Jingle Bell Garland: Get into the holiday spirit with a fun and festive jingle bell garland. String colorful jingle bells onto a length of twine or ribbon, spacing them evenly apart. To add some extra sparkle, spray paint the bells with metallic paint or glitter spray before assembling the garland. Hang it on your mantel, staircase, or Christmas tree for a cheerful and merry touch.

3. Glittery Glass Ball Ornaments: Take your ornament-making skills to the next level by creating your own glittery glass ball ornaments. Use glass or plastic ball ornaments as your base, and then coat them with a layer of clear glue or decoupage medium. Roll the ornaments in glitter, making sure to cover them completely for a dazzling finish. Add embellishments like rhinestones, sequins, or ribbon for extra flair. Display them on your tree or hang them in windows for a stunning holiday decoration.
