Space Wedding Galaxy Favors

When trying to find space/planet/universe ideas

came across
galaxy ornaments

We decided that the
smaller version would be

the best idea

These mini iridescent ornaments
were purchased 

at Hobby Lobby

I used Pledge floor finisher

Swish a very small amount
it in and drain

then using a funnel layer in glitter colors

shake out excess

I followed up by putting black glitter
to fill in any spaces

Let air dry

The color combos are endless!

They were then put into these
small favor boxes from Dollar Tree
