Supplies needed:
Tutorial:
1.
Print out template
Begin by downloading and printing out theChristmas bauble template.
Cut out each of your traced cardboard ornaments.
Choose different colors
Choose which colors of acrylic paint you want to use to create your Christmas ornaments.
Mix paint with medium
Lay out paper cups for mixing together your acrylic paint and marbling medium.
Add equal parts acrylic paint and marbling medium in your cups.
Stir the mixture together thoroughly and then let it sit for several minutes to let any air bubbles settle.
(You could also use a plastic cup.)
We used five different colors total and had enough to make about 6-8 ornaments.
Place cup inside tray and lay ornament
Place a paper cup upside down inside your metal tray.
The tray helps collect the extra paint that falls from the ornaments and makes for easy clean up.
Lay one of your cardboard ornaments onto the paper cup.
Some paint will drip off the ornament into the metal tray.
Prepare twin
Cut a section of bakers twin about 15-18 inches in length.
Create a circle for hanging your ornament and tie a knot in the bakers twine to seal it shut.
Do not cut off the excess bakers twine at the top.
Tie bow from excess twine
Tie a bow with the excess bakers twine at the top of the ornament.
Your gorgeous finished ornament is now ready for hanging on the Christmas tree.
