I have decided that I would like to make an ornament for each member of the family each year. Last year I bought plain glass ornaments and used some white glitter glue and a silver pen. The results were OK, but VERY "handmade" looking if ya know what I mean ;) *LOL*
This year I decided to use the Cricut With The Christmas technique of using floor polish to make the inside of the ornaments sticky, and then adding glitter. I finished off the fronts with some scalloped circles with the letters of our initials inside! What a blast! For those of you with a Cricut, the font is Ashylyns Alphabet.
I had my husband pick his own glitter color, and he made the deciding choice on the font. That way I feel like he participated! :) As the kids get older I want to get us all involved in making ornaments together.
Our initals are fun, they spell things like arts, and rats! *LOL* :) Yes, I'm a dork, but I got a real kick out of that.

They look gorgeous. And don't forget, your initials spell STAR. And you get a gold one for this project! hugs, eileen
I like them. Did you use cardstock or vinyl for the letters? If you used cardstock what kind of glue did you use?
I used cardstock. A thick, shiny type. I used my ATG gun to adhere it. So far it seems to be holding OK.
