Pomegranates for Rosh Hashna (Sep. 2015)

These pomegranates ornaments where made with the help of my daughters. We made it as presents for Rosh Hashana (Jewish New Year).

We paint the front of the pomegranates with 1 layer of brown acrylic paint, and when it was dried, we paint it with 2 more layers of red acrylic paint.
After the paint dried, we used white glue and cover the pomegranate with red glitter.
I hate when the glitter fall, so I spray it with "Fixative Concentrated".

I made the bows with a great double bow video tutorial.

For the buttons and the charms I used hot glue gun.
