Ingredients
Materials
- 6 pieces Clear plastic ornaments Ball or spherical type
- 4 colors Acrylic paint (black, blue, purple, and white)
- 3 types Fine glitter (silver, gold, blue)
- 2 pieces Paintbrushes (small and medium)
- 0.5 cup Water For paint dilution
- 1 pieces Paper plate or palette For mixing
- 1 pieces Funnel or small spoon For glitter application
Instructions
Preparation
- Find a clean, flat surface to work on. Lay down some newspaper or an old tablecloth for easy cleanup.
Painting the Inside
- In a paper plate, combine a few drops of black, blue, and purple acrylic paint with a bit of water until you achieve your desired consistency.
- Using a funnel or small spoon, pour a small amount of your paint mixture into the ornament.
- Gently swirl the ornament to coat the interior completely. You may need to add more paint for full coverage.
Glitter Application
- While the paint is still wet, funnel in a mix of glitter. Shake the ornament to ensure the glitter adheres to the painted sides.
- Place the ornaments upside down to dry completely for several hours.
Final Touches
- Use a small paintbrush to dab on white paint to create star-like specks inside your ornament.
- Once dry, seal the ornament with a clear spray sealant for extra shimmer. Attach a string or ribbon for hanging.
