DIY Colored Ornaments

   Sometimes you want to have a color theme for your Christmas tree. Or maybe you don't, but let's pretend you do for right now. So you're thinking to yourself, "Man, I just can't find the right color ornaments for my tree anywhere without spending out the wazoo." or "Gosh, I really hate hot pink and purple glitter! Why is it on every Christmas ornament?"
  Wouldn't it be great if you could just buy some clear ornaments and dump a paint color of your choice inside and transform that lifeless, colorless ornament into something totally beautiful?

You can!! And I'm going to show you just how to do it. It's cheap and so super easy.

Step one: Purchase clear ornaments and craft paint of your choice.
(I got all my supplies at Michael's for around 7 dollars. 12 ornaments and 3 paints.)

 

Step 2: Take top off ornament and pour in paint.

 

Step 3: Swirl paint all around until it covers up the inside.

Add more paint if necessary. 

 Step 4: Allow your ornaments to dry a little before putting the top back on.
*EDIT* I forgot to mention, let these dry upside down, perhaps resting on a thumbtack in a piece of wood. It allows the paint to drip out and not settle to one side of your ornament.
Once dry, put tops back on, hang on tree, and admire how awesome an artist you are!

Do you have any DIY holiday crafts you'll be doing this year?
