Constructing the Snowman Disc Ornament:

To fill with glitter:

Remove the tops from the ornaments.

Pour a small amount of Glitter It into the ornament and slowly swirl around until the inside is coated.

Remove the excess Glitter It by pouring into a cup.

Using a funnel, pour glitter into the ornament and shake around until completely coated.

Tap the ornament upside down over a different cup to remove excess glitter.

If a thicker coat of glitter inside the ornament is desired, allow the ornament to dry and repeat the previous steps.

Once the glue is dry, replace the cap.

To fill with paint:

Remove the tops from the ornaments.

Pour a small amount of paint into the ornament and slowly swirl around until the inside is coated.

Remove the excess paint by pouring into a cup.

Insert the image into your project and select your desired print color to help organize the cuts.

If all of the details of your ornament will be the same color, click and drag to select the elements for the ornament and select to weld the items together.

Cut the images from vinyl. 

Weed the excess vinyl away and then use transfer tape to move the designs to the ornament. Press firmly or swipe over the transfer tape with a scraper to make sure the vinyl adheres to the ornament. Pull the transfer tape away.
