Instructions
 

  • You can fill your ornaments with paint or glitter (or mix up different ornaments!). Remove the tops from the ornaments.
    Reindeer Ornament Discs & Brown Paint
  • To fill with glitter: Pour a small amount of Glitter-It! into the ornament and slowly swirl around until the inside is coated. Remove the excess Glitter-It! by pouring it into a cup.
  • Using a funnel, pour brown glitter into the ornament and shake around until completely coated. Tap the ornament upside down over a different cup to remove excess glitter.
  • If a thicker coat of glitter inside the ornament is desired, allow the ornament to dry overnight and repeat the previous steps.
  • Once the glue is dry, replace the cap.
  • To fill with paint: Pour a small amount of brown paint into the ornament and slowly swirl around until the inside is coated.
  • Remove the excess paint by pouring it into a cup.
    Emptying excess paint into cup
  • Let the ornament rest upside down overnight to dry completely.
  • Once the paint is dry, replace the cap.
  • Upload the reindeer outline template to Cricut Design Space and select to remove the white background of the image. Save it as a cut file. Repeat with the nose and the pupils.
  • Insert the images into your project.
  • Change the nose to red and the pupils to white.
  • Select the images and size to match the dimensions of the ornament.
  • Send the project to your Cricut and cut the images from the correct color vinyl.
  • Weed the excess away.
    Reindeer Decal Black Layer
  • Place the colored layers onto the black layer.
    Reindeer Decal Red and White Layers
  • Use transfer tape to move the designs to the ornament. Press firmly or swipe over the transfer tape with a scraper to make sure the vinyl adheres to the ornament. Pull the transfer tape away.
