Description
Create stunning, one-of-a-kind decorations using the hydro-dipping technique with acrylic paints and ornaments.
Ingredients
- Clear glass or plastic ornaments
- Acrylic paint (various colors)
- Water
- Plastic cup or container (deep enough for dipping)
- Wooden skewer or stick (for swirling paint)
- Masking tape (optional, to protect certain areas)
- Gloves (optional, to keep hands clean)
- Newspaper or drop cloth (for easy cleanup)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Workspace: Lay down newspaper or a drop cloth to protect your surfaces. Gather all materials in an organized space.
- Fill the Container: Pour water into your plastic cup/container until it reaches about three-quarters full.
- Add Paint: Drop small amounts of acrylic paint onto the surface of the water. Use the wooden skewer to swirl the paint gently, creating interesting patterns.
- Dip the Ornament: Hold the ornament by the top and slowly dip it into the paint swirl, twisting it as you dip to ensure an even coat.
- Let it Dry: Remove the ornament from the water and hang it to dry on a wire rack or string, allowing it to dry completely before handling.
Notes
Customize colors, experiment with different ornaments, and consider adding metallic paints or glitter finishes for a unique touch.
