I have been picking up all of the AInk supplies (using my coupons) for my daughter's Christmas Craft party on Saturday. I found the glass ornaments 50% off at J's so I bought a bunch.
Last nite I figured I had better make one so I could show the girls what they would look like -- and give them advice. I put on the first layer of ink -- and remember what I had read on some of the other posts. I put the glittery, watery glue inside, poured out the excess (I liked the look of the white glue -- thought I might try some with white acrylic since the glue dries clear). Then I decided I needed a bit more AInk on the outside. I guess I was a LITTLE too determined -- the glass bulb shattered in my hand! I didn't get cut, but I did make a mess!
I think I'm going to have the girls work on plastic trays so that if they drop their balls -- or if they shatter -- the mess will be more contained. It was fun, and the ornament I later made was gorgeous.
If I can figure out how to post pictures, I'll post pix from the Craft Party.
Thanks for the wonderful ideas!
Nancy
