Reddit reviews Darice, 1 Piece, 80 millimeter, Clear Plastic, Fillable Ornament Ball

I'm like 99% sure it's just an empty Christmas ornament thing.

[Yeah, one of these fuckin things.](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002WZIO4U/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_F6a-ub1PH17HW

My guess: based on how smooth and shiny the outer surface is, OP used a technique similar to this: http://cutekick.deviantart.com/art/Glitter-Ornament-Tutorial-421030331 (ie: they used Pledge or some other form of clear adhesive on the inside surface of a clear plastic ornament, then covered it with glitter). Any details like the black lines, the buttons, etc appear to be glitter stickers, or OP has a very steady hand and Mod Podge.

As to how OP managed to split the glitter colours so cleanly down the equator: there does not appear to be a seam that runs top to bottom so that it splits where the hanging part is, so it is not IS the standard openable ornament. This leaves a few options:

• OP found some ornaments that DO split open at the equator (as opposed to down a meridian), and glittered each half separately; if this is the case, I really want to know where they got said ornaments because I can't seem to find any like these. OP then hid the seam with the sticker.
  
• Like the above, but OP used the standard openable ornament and turned it on its side, but found a way to hide the hanging part (might have cut it off, or may be hidden at the back where we can't see them in the photos). Then OP found some clever way of attaching their OWN hanging part on the 'side' of the ball, which we perceive as the top. Since the current hanging parts look pretty consistent, this doesn't seem likely to me. So this is what OP actually did, see below for how.
  
• OP used a non-splittable ornament and cut it in half before glittering both halves separately
  
• OP used a non-splittable ornament that has a hole at the top (like the linked tutorial), and somehow only glittered half at a time. My guess is: first they put glue only on the bottom (either by using a brush, or by swishing the glue veeeery carefully... I have done both myself using paint, so it's doable, but tedious), glittered it, let it dry. Then they put glue on the top, which can be done a lot less carefully now, then glittered it, and since the bottom's already covered in glitter, they don't have to worry about the second colour showing through. This also seems unlikely to me, just because of the amount of work put in, and also it doesn't look like that type of ornament.

He's using these clear plastic ornament spheres. You can get them in varying sizes. I'm not sure what size he's using. Michael's sells them individually but I don't know if they carry them all year round or just in the run up to the holidays.

if anyone curious, he uses http://www.amazon.com/Darice-1105-97-Plastic-Ornament-Clear/dp/B002WZIO4U/ to create the sphere.
