Description
Create vibrant DIY rainbow ornaments to brighten your home or give as heartfelt gifts. Easy to make and customizable for any occasion.
Ingredients
- Clear plastic or glass ornaments
- Acrylic paint (in various colors)
- Paintbrushes (small and medium size)
- Glitter (optional)
- Ribbon or twine for hanging
- Bowls or trays for paint mixing
- Gloves (if desired for cleanliness)
- Water (for cleaning brushes)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Workspace: Cover your workspace with newspapers or a plastic sheet to catch any drips or spills. Gather all your materials within reach.
- Painting the Ornaments: Choose your favorite rainbow colors. Pour a small amount of acrylic paint into each ornament. Gently rotate the ornament to allow the paint to coat the inside evenly and add additional colors.
- Add Glitter: If using, sprinkle glitter inside while the paint is still wet for a sparkly effect.
- Drying Process: Place your painted ornaments upside down on a tray to let excess paint drip out and allow them to dry completely for at least 24 hours.
- Finishing Touches: Once dried, cut a length of ribbon or twine and thread it through the top of the ornament. Tie a bow for added flair.
