Christmas Tree Ornaments

Thanks to my sweet cousin Renelle the girls got a cool Christmas Ornament craft this year.  Renelle sent glass ornaments and some paint so the girls could make their own Christmas tree ornaments.  They had a blast making these ornaments!  The ornaments turned out beautifully too!

The ornaments have a tie die and swirl mix of several colors.  Brina and Karlie were so excited to have these hanging on the tree.  Both girls agree that they want  to do more of these or another Christmas tree ornament next year!

Karlie squeezing paint into her ornament

Take the glass ornaments and slowly squeeze paint into them.  Add at least 2 or more colors and swirl around until the glass ornament is coated on the inside.

Brina making sure the paint is covering the entire glass

After adding paint rotate the ornament around until the paint has coated the entire inside of the ornament.  The colors will start to blend as you do this which is very fascinating for the kids to watch.

Karlie swirling and coating the inside of her glass ornament with paint

The colors blend together and look pretty neat together.

Turn the ornament upside down in a styrofoam cup or muffin pan so the extra paint can drain.

Every few hours flip the glass ornament the opposite direction so the paint will dry evenly inside the bulb
