Homemade Christmas Ornaments
Submitted to Community Chat
Anything Rae Dunn seems to be over the top popular now. I knew I could replicate her ornaments, and when all was said and done at a fraction of the cost!
Supplies:
- Clear glass ornaments
- Rust-Oleum Chalked Paint ~ Linen White (or any craft paint)
- Squeeze bottle (found mine at the grocery store for $1 - probably for ketchup/mustard)
- Vinyl (to make words)
- Cricut or any cutting machine (to cut out vinyl)
- Rubbing Alcohol (to clean ornaments before applying vinyl)
Directions:
- Carefully pour paint into squeeze bottle (can use a funnel)
- After removing hangers, pour enough paint into ornament, and twirl around until covered
- Any leftover paint in ornament can be poured into the next ornament to be filled
- Repeat 2 and 3 until all ornaments are filled
- Let dry for a day or two
- Create your words (I used Cricut Design Space); chose Skinny font; cut vinyl; weed; apply transfer paper
- Make small cuts with a scissor between each letter and on the sides (this helps in having the words lay flat on the rounded ornament
- Clean the outside of each ornament with rubbing alcohol
- Apply words to each ornament, rubbing the letters to give good adhesion
- Replace hangers
- Hang and enjoy
This really is a super easy process, but you do need to have a good dose of patience!
