Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Things You’ll Need:
- Clear glass ornament (ball shape) from craft store
- Acrylic paint in your choice of colors
- Ribbon to hang the ornament (your choice how long you want it)
- Paper towels
Step1
Take the ornament out of the box (if it came in one)
Step2
Remove the top metal piece out of the ornament (its the loop that the hook/ribbon goes through).
Step3
Open the acrylic paint, and pour some into the hole at the top of the ornament.
Step4
Turn ornament around in your hand to move the paint around.
Step5
Place it someplace to dry for 15 minutes or so.
Step6
Add additional colors if you'd like, allowing it to dry for about 15 minutes in-between coats. (See Tips)
Step7
When all the colors you want in it have been added, place the ornament, top side up, on top of a paper towel to dry.
Step8
While it is drying, rotate it occasionally to prevent the paint from collecting in one spot and drying.
Step9
When done drying, carefully replace the metal top.
Step10
Loop the ribbon through the metal loop at the top and tie it together in a bow or however you'd like.
Step11
Hang the ornament wherever you'd like (usually on a Christmas tree), but they look good as decorations too.
