Take
one paint color and squeeze some paint into the glass ball. Take another
color and squeeze some of that color into the ball. Take the third color
and do the same. Add the paint to the glass ornament ball quickly so
that the paints do not set. Fold
the paper towel to a thick piece and place over the opening of the glass
ball. The paper towel is there to keep the paint from splattering and to
protect you from the sharp glass edge. Hold the paper towel in place and
vigorously shake the ornament ball. This will cause the paint to mix.
Move your wrist in a swirling motion to create a marbleized look. Remove
paper towel and add more paint if necessary. Cover opening with the
paper towel and continue swirling until the inside of the glass ornament
is covered with paint. Remove
the paper towel and place the glass ornament into the disposable cup
with the opening face down. Allow the excess paint to drip out of the
ornament. Allow paint to dry overnight and replace the metal hanger on
the glass ornament. For
an added touch, you can tie on a sheer ribbon bow or other decorations
to the top of the ornament. Hang your ornament or place several in a
bowl for a beautiful decoration. |
