I hope y'all had a happy Thanksgiving, but now it's Christmas time! For those of you who've been following my blog since last year, that means it's #CreNativity season!!!! Today, I'm showing you how to make really cute Christmas tree ornaments out of simply: glue gun sticks.
The supplies you will need are glittery/colorful glue gun sticks (if you can't find colorful glue gun sticks, you can use regular ones and sprinkle FINE glitter in it while it is hot and in your desired shape, but it won't look as good as possible), parchment paper, cute string (the string holding the ornament on the tree), and a hot glue gun.
To start, lay out your parchment paper, and plug in your hot glue gun, putting in a colorful glue stick while its heating up. If there is already a plain glue stick in there which is not your desired color, wait for it to heat up a little, then either push all the glue out (wasting it) or rip the stick out the back. The end will look a little weird but it still works. Now once your preferred color is heated up, squirt it onto the parchment paper into that shape. If it is mixed with the prior glue, squirt all the way until there is a steady flow of the new color. Now to design your ornament, I first squirt the outline of the shape, then fill it all the way in with glue. For the Christmas tree one, squirt the green all the way out and put the gold in to do the star. I used mini sticks, so all of the shapes used up one stick each. Now let them dry.
To add the string to hang it on the tree, cut a piece of string about 5 inches (just an estimate). Gently peel the shape off the parchment paper and flip it over onto the back side. Add a dab of hot glue on the back (either in the same color or clear) and place both ends of the string there creating a loop. Add a little bit more glue on top of the string. Once that is dry, you are done!!!!!
¡Feliz Navidad!
