Painted glass balls add elegance to Christmas trees, but what if you have no talent? Fear not! Here’s a project that takes no talent but will look like you spent a fortune on designer ornaments.
Materials: clear glass ball ornaments (available at craft stores), DecoArt Americana Crystal Gloss Enamel paints in your choice of colors, ribbon for hanging loop.
1. Carefully remove the metal caps from the glass balls.
2. Squeeze small amount of paint into the ball. Rotate the ball to swirl the paint around the interior. Repeat with a second color of paint. Add a third color if desired.
3. Allow paint to dry. Follow manufacturer’s directions for heat-setting paint.
4. Reattach cap to ball. Add ribbon for hanging loop.
