That is a smart idea, actually. I have a bunch of stickers I just hoard because I can't bear to stick them to things where they might get damaged.

Hahaha! That actually sounds pretty amazing. I never saw the appeal of ornament wreaths but sticker ornament wreaths...yeah, I can use that XD

Thanks! I am rather in love with the cubes. I ordered 24 of them but accidentally shattered several so I didn't have as many as I would have liked. I have some other fun designs with the cubes in the works so I will post them once I get them finished.

Thanks! It took me awhile to think of it. I was organizing some things, adding stickers to my sticker box and I just had the epiphany! I couldn't really believe it had taken me so long to think of just using stickers.

Me too! I would have linked to where they were sold but it seems the stickers aren't in finni 's online store. Maybe in the future. They were just so cute that I knew I had to get them even if I had no idea what I was going to use them for.
I used to not be as bad but then I had a couple of hmm, incidents where some of my favorite stickers got ruined so I started to be unable to find good uses for them. So they started to gather in an old shoe box and now that shoe box is full, and I mean full of stickers. I am so glad I though of this, now I know I get to bring them out at least once a year. I found several stickers I didn't even remember having until I was going through them all. Aaaah, it makes me so happy to have a use for them.

Ooh, I love the cubes! There are so many things I could do with cube ornaments...

I KNOW! The cubes are so much fun. I have several others that are half done so there will be more cubes in the future. What would you like to try with them?

Oh, I'd try to make a 6-sided die or something. Maybe use the stickers as dots, like I think I have little pawprint stickers or stars. And most definitely a Portal companion cube. My brother and I call it Cube-y Cubert whenever we play the game. XD

OHH! that would be cute. I have plans for the companion cube, but alas, glitter shortage soo in the future.

Oh, that's good, then. I'm not too big on glitter usually, since it's the herpes of the art world; gets everywhere, and is near-impossible to get rid of. And yet I got a wide variety. XD Two sets of I think 12 each of these little baggies that look to be enough of each color for an ornament or two, and a set of 8 of those film canister-sized vials of 'holiday colors' so basically greens, browns, reds, and metallics. This year is just the test run, though. And I've stopped for now until I get some proper little funnels. I'd been using little mocked-up ones made out of printer paper and scotch tape, but they most definitely were not working well. They barely held together long enough for me to do the rubbing alcohol step for 16 ornaments, and I'd been going back and forth between about 3 different little not-quite-funnels. >.< They'd probably be okay for the glitter, but I wouldn't want to risk it with the tile cleaner stuff. So I'm waiting for a set of funnels my mom ordered that won't arrive until around January 6th.

This is the only thing I use glitter for on a regular basis with regular being once a year. I do a through cleaning of EVERYTHING after I am done and well, glitter still ends up on things for a good few months afterwards. No way around it really. At least once you are done the glitter doesn't end up coming out and off the ornament so it doesn't end up all over the gifts.
The little baggies might be enough, I really can't say without trying one myself but be sure to shake it a lot more than you think you need to. I have noticed when I do not put a whole ton of extra glitter in (like I do in the photo on my tutorial) I am likely to end up with a thin spot because I didn't shake the glitter up for long enough.
Ooh, yeah paper won't hold up for liquids very long, though it works fine for the glitter. The funnels are great though. I am very happy with the little ones I got. I just have to be careful to not mix them up when I am working and pour the glitter down the same one I used with the floor cleaner. That just gives you a funnel covered in glitter....which takes a long while to clean off.
