Instructions
-
Squirt a little fabric glue around the bottom portion of the ball.

Lightly brush the glue onto the ball. To make it look like it is dipped in glitter, stop in the middle.
-
You can sprinkle the glitter by lifting the lid, or take the whole cap off and pour over a sheet of paper.
-
Let them sit for an hour to dry.
-
Repeat steps 1-4 once more. When you are applying your second coat some of the glitter will fall off; that's normal.
-
Plug them in and string them in the reception as you see fit.
