This is cool!

I found this on you tube and thought this was too good not to share, especially if you have children.  This is just  a grand find.

Leisure Arts on YouTube has Crochet videos geared toward teaching children how to crochet.

Craft tutorial:old Glass Christmas Ball Ornaments



Tutorial

How to resurrect old Glass Christmas Ball Ornaments


Do you have old ancient glass ball ornaments lying around that have the art wearing off of them.  There is a way to resurrect those old ornaments into looking like you just bought them.

All you need is.

GLASS Ornament balls that have the artwork worn off or almost worn off.  I am not sure it will work on  anything other than the old glass ones.

a container round or square

Dish soap and warm water.

Tree tinsel any color

Band aids (Be careful those edges are sharp. Especially don't handle them to rough or drop them. eek)



First in a large pale or pan  fill with warm water and dish soap about half way up.


Immerse the ornaments one at a time rubbing your fingers gently on them to rub off any excess color or decoration. soaking them as well. Until all the color and stuff is off them.


Then once all dried inside and out take any color of tinsel  Mine here are all silver.


And  I would probably take something rather skinny and not sharp stick  poke the tinsel inside the ball carefully.  Fill them up to the rim of the ball.



Then place its topper on and voila you have a virtually brand new ornament.




They glisten in the multicolored or white light and are beatiful decoration for any tree, wreath.
