What to do with boxes and boxes of shiny glass ornaments
Decoupage sheet music with eyelash yarn
Epsom Salts for some no melt Snowballs
Had to make a wreath after seeing them all over the web. I added mica for a snowy effect.
After removing the paint from the outside and inside, I added my sons and wifes names with their date of marriage for their First Married Christmas Ornament. Ribbon is from their wedding this past June.

I couldn't pass up boxes marked 10 cents of glass ornaments at a garage sale. But 8 boxes? Here are just a few of the transformations I've done.

dragonflytreasures writes: Thank you all for your sweet comments. Believe it or not the paint soaked righ off in water, yep just plain warm water. I'm kind of impatient so i helped it by wiping the outside. The inside was another story. Almost all of it soaked off, but there were a ferw areas where it stayed. I put in some rice with a bit of water and shook it. That removed all but 2 small spots. I used a small bebdable brush for those. The glass felt so thin, thought I'd break them, but all turned out ok.

CleverJunk writes: I love all these ideas. How did you remove the paint? I purchased some clear glass ornaments from Michael's and transformed them...a happy accident. I'll have to take a picture and post it...it's a funny story. I'm really impressed with the fact that you removed the paint!...and I like the sentimental idea. Posted: 6:49 pm on December 12th
