Craft 11: Glass Ball Ornament, Version Two

What You'll Need

4" glass ball ornaments, available at craft stores
Decorative stickers
"Filler"


Instructions:

1. We're going to start this craft just like Version One.
Set your glass ball on a cup so that you can easily apply the stickers onto it.


Morgan liked the "nature" theme.


2. Prepare your "Filler". In this case, we want to put sprigs of fake evergreen into our glass ball ornament. We'll cut the pieces to fit inside the ball.


This is something that little hands can do if they do it with care. If you've hepped up your kiddo on sugar before this craft, you may want to have him step aside so you can do the stuffing. Just a thought.


We chose a "Nature" theme, but you could easily stuff the ornament with other things:
Straw
Some glitter
Candies... Ooo, maybe not. Visions of kids trying to crack the ball...


Tomorrow we will have another craft with the glass ball ornament. Just wait. :)

The Lesson of the "Glass Ball Ornament":

The Glass Ball Ornament represents each person's life. God brings beauty to each person by placing His unique fingerprint on the way He made us, inside and out.

2 Corinthians 4:7 "...We ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves."
