SUPPLIES NEEDED TO MAKE GUMBALL ORNAMENTS

Small terracotta pot
Small clear plastic ball ornament
Jumbo multi-colored nonpareils sprinkles
Red acrylic paint
Paint brush
Soda can tab
Hot glue gun

HOW TO MAKE GUMBALL ORNAMENTS

Paint the terracotta pot red and allow it to dry completely.

Remove the top from the plastic ornament. Place the ornament in a bowl to catch any extra sprinkles. Pour the sprinkles inside then place the top back on and set aside.

Once the red painted pot is dry, place it face-down and use a hot glue gun to add a thick circle of glue in the center. Immediately place the bottom of the filled ornament on the glue.

Add a thin layer of hot glue on the back of the soda can tab and place it centered on the side of the pot.

After the glue is set, add a ribbon or ornament hook to the top and hang on your Christmas tree or give as a beautiful handmade gift!
