I really enjoyed making these quick and super easy ornaments for Jax. He is superhero obsessed and loves them! I planned to do this last year so I already had what I needed. Saw this trick on Pinterest (will link ASAP)to pour paint into clear ornaments creating a unique & professional look to spruce up a boring clear bulb and make it your own.
My mom found these cute metal DC Super Friends ornaments at Target last year. (Retail $8) I took off the hook so the ornament was just the superhero.We bought the clear plastic craft ornaments by Celebrate It (Retail $1.49 each) from Michaels also last year when they daycare made their parents gifts for Christmas and I had some left over. I used Craft Smart Acrylic paint to match. (I have multiple bottles of all different colors on hand.) But you can find these or similar at Michaels or any craft supplies store.
I carefully poured the paint into the ornament while slowly rotating it,letting the paint inside coat the interior.
quick tip: the newer/thinner the paint the faster and easier it was to pour so if its chunky old paint get some new stuff or be prepared for this to take a while.
It really took me less than a minute of pouring and turning before the whole ornament was completely coated.
I then took super glue and glued the super friends to the front. Let dry and that's it! I did this last night and left open they were dry by morning. Happy Monday!!
Love-
Corey
