Light up you holidays with an ornament colored with DecoArt Opaque Glass Markers
SUPPLIES
- paper towels
- rubbing alcohol
- plastic ornament
- clear glass ornament
- thin ribbon or string
INSTRUCTIONS
NOTES:
Shake and prime glass paint markers before use. Prime by pumping tip of marker on a clean dry surface. Pump tip until paint fill the entire tip.
- For this project I chose an oval, clear plastic ornament. With a slightly flattened surface. (A clear, glass ornament can be used as well) A great thing about DecoArt Opaque Glass Paint markers is that they can be used to decorate many different types of surfaces.
- Wipe down the surface of the ornament with rubbing alcohol and a paper towel to remove any oil or dirt. With the Black Opaque Glass Paint Marker, draw on the provided pattern design (or make up your own). Allow to dry.
- Begin to fill in shapes with colors. I started with Turquoise and Red Opaque Glass Paint Markers. Allow to dry.
- Add more color by painting some sections with Violet, Green and Fuchsia Opaque Glass Paint Markers. Allow to dry.
- Paint on Yellow Opaque Glass Paint Marker. Allow to dry. (Optional: If you like this look, paint the other side with the same technique/colors. Otherwise, leave the other side clear; the ornament is reversible and looks very nice hung in a window with light shining through it!) Allow to dry.
- Add a ribbon or string to hang. (Optional: Paint on an initial, name or the date to personalize. Add embellishments to the inside like a note or glitter!)
- Hang with other DIY ornaments to create colorful, fun Christmas decorations around the house or on the tree!
