Glitter Thistle Pod Ornament Instructions

Say that title fast 3 times! For this ornament, you need clean milk thistle pod halves. Paint the inside with acrylic paint, let dry, then glue on matching or clear glitter. Hot glue by-the-yard beads around the edges. Use a needle or nail to poke a small hole in the top of the pod and thread both ends of a narrow ribbon through the hole from the top. Knot the ends, add a drop of glue to secure. Take 2 lengths of contrasting ribbons and tie a bow around the hanging loop, or hot-glue it to the top. I left the outside of the pod in its natural state, making the glitter stand out more.
