What do you put the cups on?mary k said:I did this for my sons class one year and its cheap. Take styrafoam cup and melt in microwave just watch it closely as it doesn;t take long at all and let cool. Then the kids can put on glue and sprinkle with glitter. Put hole in top and put string through. These come out in some neat shapes.

I took off the top of the ornament, sprayed the adhesive in it, and then funneled the glitter in (just made a funnel with paper) - the kids can then shake it around inside - it looks pretty on the tree with the colors going through it. I'm also going to have them put their names on it along with the year on a little tag and attach it to the top. My son really liked it and it's extremely easy!

You can also squirt pint down inside instead of the glue and glitter. Swirl it around...we did this with my Daughter's 1st grade class...it was so pretty...note: only use 2 colors or it gets to mingled up!!Gina M said:I'm doing this craft with my son's 4th grade class - I went to Michael's and got some pretty clear glass ornaments (they were half off - $2.99 for 9) - bought some spray adhesive that works on glass and some green, red and silver glitter.

I love this one. Use a metalic paint and a regular paint. They turn out beautiful!klsnyder said:You can also squirt pint down inside instead of the glue and glitter.

No, it is recommended to use a microwave with a turntable and 1000 watts or higher for best results.
Yes, always use oven mitts or a towel to handle the hot ornaments and allow them to cool before decorating.
The total time will vary depending on the type of ornament and microwave wattage, but most ornaments can be made in under 5 minutes.
Yes, as long as the paint is non-toxic and safe for microwave use. It is recommended to use acrylic or glass paint for best results.
The recipe provided by Pampered Chef is specifically formulated for microwave use and is recommended for best results. However, you can experiment with other dough recipes as long as they are safe for microwave use.
