Cupcake Christmas Tree Decoration

This is pretty much all you need to make two awesome Christmas decorations.

DECORATION 1: SNOWBALLS

Materials

Styrofoam balls, various sizes

Epsom Salts

Clear, shimmery glitter

Tacky glue

Method

Combine the Epsom Salts and the white sparkly glitter in a bowl
Paint the craft glue all over the Styrofoam balls. Use a cup or glass to help hold in place to reduce messy, sticky fingers.
Using a spoon, coat the ball with sparkly “snow”
Set aside to fully dry on a wire rack.

Ta-dar!!! A bowl full of snow balls to decorate the table! I found these cute snowflake decorations and placed them on top of the snowballs to give a more wintery effect.

DECORATION 2: CUPCAKE ORNAMENTS

It’s easy to create a cupcake tree decoration with these materials too.

Materials

Styrofoam balls

Epsom Salts

Clear, shimmery glitter

Tacky glue

Cupcake papers

Berry decorations

Ribbon

Method

Paint glue on the inside of the cupcake paper and place ball inside. Continue to paint glue on the top and all over the Styrofoam.
Generously sprinkle Epsom Salts and glitter mixture all over the top of the cupcake.
Tie some ribbon around the top of the “cherry” and make a loop so it can hang. Poke the wire stem into the ball.
Sit inside a mug or cup till the glue dries
