Harry Potter Golden Snitch Ornament
Easy DIY for the Golden Snitch from the Harry Potter series.
Ingredients
- Clear Plastic Ball Ornament (pack of 6 here)
- Gold Glitter (16-ounce jar here)
- Gold Foam Sheet (6 sheets here)
- School or Craft Glue
- Hot Glue Gun and Glue Sticks
- Clear Sealant Spray (optional)
Instructions
- Start by removing the hanging cap from your ornament.
- Hold ornament by the neck where the cap was and quickly paint it with a thick layer of craft glue all over.
- Dust glitter around the entire ornament, repeating as necessary until it has a thick even coat of glitter.
- Carefully replace the cap and hang your ornament to dry for a few hours.
- While the glue is setting up you can move onto the wings.
- Fold your gold sheet over and cut 2 shapes like feathers/ leaves. I found that 4”-5” is a great size for the golden snitch wings.
- Cut halfway through on each side of your feather shape to define the feathering.
- Gently tap excess glitter off your ornament and if desired, spray your ornament with a coat or two of clear sealant to keep it from shedding glitter.
- Use hot glue to firmly secure the wings to either side of the gold glittered ball. Hold the wings in place until the glue is cooled and set.
- Add a hanger or ribbon.
- Your Golden Snitch is now ready to take its place of honor in your family tree!
