How To Make Holiday Sunbursts For The Holidays
Materials:
- Styrofoam balls
- Flat toothpicks
- Gold Glitter
- Gold Spray paint
- Coffee filter
- Mod Podge / glue
- Newspaper
- Plastic gloves
- Skewer
STEP 1: Divide the Styrofoam balls in half. Half will be spray painted, and the other half will be glitterized. Place the Styrofoam ball on the head of the skewer. Spray paint the ball until fully covered (Due to the chemicals, do this outside as opposed to an enclosed location)
STEP 2: Spread the tooth picks onto the newspaper and also spray with spray paint. Here is where you’ll need your gloves as you may need to hold down the toothpicks from blowing away.
STEP 3: Pour glitter into one coffee filter for easy access. Do the same with the Mod Podge/glue.
STEP 4: With the other set of Styrofoam balls that you want to glitterize: Place the Styrofoam ball on the head of the skewer. Dip the ball into the glue and fully cover in glue. Dip the glued ball into the glitter and keep spinning it in the glue until fully covered. Let the balls dry.
STEP 5: Place the flat toothpick sticks into all of the Styrofoam balls and your sunburst is created.
