Tips

Believe in LOVE holiday ornament Mister Bottle

    • Choose an ornament that is fairly flat. It’s much easier than a round one.

 

    • The ornament will fit over the nozzle of the Mister to dry. A rubber band will hold the pieces securely in place, while drying.

 

  • These make a great hostess gift and a fun package topper.
