Description
Create beautiful glowing ornaments inspired by the cosmos, perfect for festive occasions or home decor.
Ingredients
- Clear plastic or glass ornaments
- Glow-in-the-dark paint
- Acrylic paints (various colors)
- Paintbrushes (small and medium)
- Water
- Mixing bowl
- Paper towels
- Ribbon or fishing line (for hanging)
- Gloves (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ornaments: Remove any lids from the ornaments carefully. Wash and dry the outside if necessary.
- Create the Nebula Effect: In a mixing bowl, blend a small amount of glow-in-the-dark paint with water to thin it down. Swirl the mixture inside the ornament, ensuring it coats all sides. Tip the ornament to let excess paint run out, and then place it upside down on a paper towel to dry.
- Add Colors: Once the inner layer is dry, use acrylic paints to add colors. Dab various colors of paint using a brush. Swirl them together gently to mimic a nebula’s look. Allow the layers to dry completely.
- Final Touches: Once dried, replace the caps on the ornaments. Attach ribbon or fishing line for hanging.
