3 DIY Glitter Ornament Balls Using Dollar Tree Supplies - Kitty, Unicorn, & Narwhal

I love the looks of the glitter ball ornaments, so I decided to make a few!  I love the look of the unicorn, but I also made a kitty cat and a Narwhal. Check out how to make these in my post below!

I was compensated for this post. This post also contains affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links.


Here is the video on how to make each of these cute glitter ball ornaments.


I picked up most the supplies I needed to make these fun ornaments at my local Dollar Tree.  Makes it so easy to make fun crafts with my kids or for myself when the supplies are cheap!  



I started off with the small plastic ornament balls from Dollar Tree, and you get 2 for $1 - wow!!!  I filled the ornaments balls with Supertite Glue from the Dual Tip Max Glue Pen.  It has a nice small squeeze tip and the glue is thinner to is can swirl around inside the ball to coat all the edges.  Once filled, flip upside down to remove any glue that has settled.

Coupon for 10% off your Supertite order of $5 or more 


Fill the ornaments with glitter and shake to get all the Dollar Tree glitter stuck to the sides of the inside of the ball.


Let the glitter ball rest on something to let all the excess glitter and glue drip out before placing the cap back on the ball.

Now it is time to add fun things to the outside of the balls.  I made 3 different types of animals, if you consider a unicorn an animal, and I say YES to that, hehe.  First I started out making the kitty cat.  I cut out some felt for the ears, added some Dollar Tree gems and flowers for a crown and drew on the face with an alcohol marker.


I then made a unicorn with some air dry clay for the horn and also added in the felt ears, flowers, gems, and drew on the face.


The I thought what about a narwhal, it is the unicorn of the sea!!  How cute would that be!  So I made it all teal, with felt flippers, the clay horn, some flowers, and drew on the cutie face.  I used the Supertite Universal All Purpose Glue to stick all the elements to the outside of the ornament ball.


After I was done making my ornaments, my daughter got in on making them and had a blast.  Check out the couple she made.  It was hard to catch her to take the picture, it got warm and sunny today so she is outside playing - woot!!


So what glitter ball animals will you make?
