15. Fortune Teller Crystal Balls
Unlock your inner psychic by crafting a mesmerizing fortune teller crystal ball. This project uses a clear glass Christmas ornament, a battery-operated tea light, and a decorative stand to create a glowing, swirling orb that looks like it is filled with magical, cosmic energy. It makes a fantastic centerpiece for a Halloween party table or a mystical nightstand lamp that provides a soothing, colorful glow.
To create the swirling magic inside the ball, take a clear plastic or glass globe ornament and remove the metal hanger. Squirt a few drops of clear floor polish or watered-down glue inside the globe, swirl it around to coat the interior, and drain the excess. Pour in ultra-fine iridescent, purple, or teal glitter, shaking the globe until the interior is fully coated with a shimmering layer. Place the globe upside down over a color-changing LED tea light. For the base, use an ornate metal candlestick or a small wooden bowl painted black. When turned on, the light shines through the glitter, creating a swirling, nebula-like effect inside your crystal ball.
