Paint Swirled
Ornament
Decorating
Glass Ball Ornaments
These paint swirled ornaments are truly a beautiful way to
decorate clear glass ball ornaments. Clear ball ornaments can
be found in craft stores and in the dollar stores around the holidays.
These can be decorated in many different ways. Here
I show how adding some acrylic paint inside the ornament can have a
beautiful effect. You can use colors to match the decor or
theme of your Christmas tree. Friends and family will find it
hard to believe you made these yourself, they almost look too good to
be "homemade"! If you would like to see other ways to
decorate clear glass ball ornaments, check out these pages too:
snowflake ornament, tinsel ornament, and sparkling gem ornament.
Things Needed:
- Clear glass ball ornament
- a few colors of acrylic paint
- a tissue, napkin, or paper towel
1. Begin the paint swirled ornament by removing the top
covering to the ornament and set it aside. Next, dribble some
acrylic paint inside the ornament. Add a good amount, and
swirl it around a bit.
2.
Next, add in another color of paint (here I'm adding green).
Swirl these colors around by rolling the ornament between
your hands. Fill in gaps by dripping in some more paint in
that area, as best as you can.
3.
When about half of the inside of the bulb is covered, take a
tissue and cover the top opening with it, and hold it tight with your
finger. Then, give the ornament a good shake or two,
carefully checking progress in between shakes. Try to get all the glass
covered. You want to shake to get a good swirl effect, but
not too much that the colors become completely mixed and change color.
4.
Allow the ornament to dry well with the ornament cover off,
then replace the cover and hang your beautiful paint swirled
ornament on the Christmas tree, or give away as an impressive gift!
