As you may know by now, as a fun holiday countdown, I am doing the final four days of DIY ornaments countdown! Today is day four of the four days in a row of posts on how to create an ornament from a clear glass ball ornament.
For the DIY on ornament number four, I started with an abstract design on the glass. I created this design by using a glue gun!
After my glue gun design was set, I sprayed the ornament with gold spray paint.
I sprayed the top silver fastener with an antique gold spray paint and replaced it when it was dry. Spraying the metal top definitely makes a big improvement to the finished ornament!
When the spray paint was completely dry, I accented the pattern with dark furniture wax. (I used Annie Sloan dark wax.) I just rubbed the wax randomly on areas of the pattern with a paper towel. Complete!
That was the last of the four DIY posts for glass ball ornaments. I hope you enjoyed this little mini-series and I hope you were inspired to create some new designs of your own! Pick up some glass ball ornaments after the holidays on clearance to start making next year’s creations!
Thanks for stopping by!
I wish you good health and a most blessed holiday!
