As you may know, as a fun holiday countdown, I am doing the final four days of DIY ornaments countdown! Today is day three of the four days in a row of posts on how to create an ornament from a plain clear glass ball ornament.
There certainly are an infinite number of ways to decorate homemade ornaments and the best thing about making your own is tailoring them to your own taste and décor. If you follow my blog, you know I love topography and an initial ornament was pretty much a guarantee on one of the four designs.
So, for ornament DIY number three, I crafted an initial ornament. I chose a cream and black color scheme.
Since the glass ball was clear, I started by pouring a little bit of cream color acrylic paint inside the ball and swirled it around until the whole inside of the glass surface was covered. I set it aside to dry.
I sprayed the metal fastener at the top of the ornament in a flat black to complement my design.
Next, I simply drew on an initial with a black permanent marker and added a black velvet ribbon to complete the elegant look of the ornament.
That is it for ornament number three DIY! Tomorrow’s post will be the final ornament DIY – number four!
Thanks for stopping by!
