How to Make a Glitter Foam Ornament

Step 1: Cut Out the Glitter Foam into Circles

Trace a small round object onto the glitter foam, then carefully cut it out. Make 8 circles — four blue and four silver.
Step 2: Assemble the Glitter Petals

Remove the backing paper from the glitter foam circle to reveal the sticky side. Place the blue circle on top of the silver one, aligning them in the center like a Venn diagram. Press gently to secure them together, then fold the silver circle over the blue one, and fold the blue circle back over the silver.
Step 3: Make All the Petals

Make a total of 8 glitter petals, keeping each one slightly rounded instead of pressing them flat.
Step 4: Assemble the Flower Ornament

Apply hot glue along the edge of one petal, attach another to it, and keep gluing the rest one by one until all petals are joined to form a flower ornament.
Step 5: Add the Hanger and Centerpiece

Cut a piece of string for the ornament hanger and attach it inside one petal using hot glue. Then, cut two mini circles—one silver and one blue—and place them at the flower’s center to cover the hole.
