How to make glittery Christmas cards, ornaments and a chanukiyah

1. Twinkling toys

Place two teaspoons of glitter in a clean plastic bag. Cover toy animals or ornaments with a thin coat of spray adhesive and place inside the bag. Shake the bag to evenly coat the decoration. Repeat if necessary. Finish with a bow.
