Supplies to make a New Year Resolutions ornament:

  • Clear glass ball ornament
  • Colored paper
  • Scissors
  • Pen
  • Shake glitter or “snow”
  • Paint markers
  • Ribbon

That’s it! Now you have your very own New Year Resolutions Ornament!

If you are holding a contest among your friends to see who accomplishes their goals and new year resolutions, make sure to glue the caps closed on the ornaments to prevent any cheating! Or, use colored glass balls so you can’t see what anyone puts inside and smash them open with a hammer in 2017!
