Craft stunning marbled ornaments this holiday season with our simple DIY guide, perfect for all ages.
Ingredients
- Clear glass or plastic ornaments
- Acrylic paints in various colors
- Hairdryer or heat gun (optional)
- Disposable cups for paint
- Toothpicks or skewers
- Craft gloves (optional)
- Paper towels
- Ribbon or twine (for hanging)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Workspace: Cover your work area with paper to catch paint drips and spills. Gather all materials within reach for convenience.
- Mix Your Colors: Pour a small amount of each acrylic paint into separate cups.
- Add Paint to Ornaments: Carefully remove the top of the ornament. Pour a few drops of different paint colors into the ornament. Swirl the colors around gently with a toothpick to create a marbled effect.
- Dry Your Ornaments: If desired, use a hairdryer on a low setting to slightly warm the ornament, helping the paint settle and expand. Set the ornaments upside down in a cup to allow excess paint to drain.
- Final Touches: Once dry, replace the top of the ornament. Add ribbon or twine for hanging.
Notes
Experiment with metallic paints for a shimmer, and add essential oils for scented ornaments.
