Making galaxy ornaments at home is a simple way to turn clear baubles into colorful, space-inspired decorations. This craft is suitable for beginners and a creative project to make with older children under adult supervision.

Ingredients

  • Clear glass or plastic ornaments
  • Black paint
  • Blue acrylic paint
  • Purple acrylic paint
  • White acrylic paint
  • Paintbrushes
  • Glitter
  • Star sequins
  • A small funnel
  • A mixing bowl

Instructions

  1. Remove the ornament top. Gently lift off the metal cap and hanger. Set them aside somewhere clean.
  2. Add a small amount of black paint. Place the funnel in the opening and pour a little black paint inside.
  3. Coat the inside. Slowly rotate and swirl the ornament so the black paint travels over the interior surface. Pour out any excess paint.
  4. Add the galaxy colors. Pour in blue, purple, and white acrylic paint. Use small amounts and gently swirl the ornament again to create a marbled galaxy effect.
  5. Add glitter and star sequins. Sprinkle glitter and star sequins inside the ornament for extra sparkle. Add them gradually.
  6. Replace the top. Once you’re happy with the design, carefully put the ornament top back in place.
  7. Let it dry before hanging. Leave the ornament undisturbed until the paint is fully dry.
  8. Hang or display your ornament.

Notes

Handle glass carefully and work over a stable surface. Allow ample drying time before storage or display.
