DIY Painted Christmas Ornaments

November 10, 2016~ Christmas, DIY and craft projects, painting

This year I’ve decided to participate in two craft fairs. I’ve never done this sort of thing, and since Canada Post charges an arm and a leg to ship anything within Canada, I’ve never really made products to sell. BUT, after the success of my // DIY Painted Pumpkins // I thought I’d try my hand at some Rifle Paper Co. inspired DIY Painted Christmas Ornaments.

If you’re interested in purchasing one please contact me

Who says Christmas has to be just red and green? Create beautiful floral christmas ornaments with some paint!

I think we can all agree that these DIY Painted Christmas Ornaments are perfectly cheery, colourful, and with some velvet ribbon you can’t go wrong! That’s right, I’m carving up my ribbon stash for these bad boys, so you know they’ll be good.

Materials

  • Clear Plastic Acrylic Fillable Ball Ornament
  • Paint Brush Set
  • DecoArt Americana paints: Frosted Plum, Tuscan Red , Poodle Skirt Pink , Brilliant Red, Sea Breeze, Coral Blush, Spiced Pumpkin, Poblano Pepper
  • Velvet Ribbon: Aubergine, Black, Moss Green, Christmas green, Black and White Plaid, Baby Pink.

I can’t do a DIY for each type of ornament I painted, so instead I’m doing a simple medallion ornament with an Amarylis or Poinsettie (depends how many petals you add)

Step 1: Starting with a clean ornament (free of smudges, pet hair and so on), start by applying green pine sprigs. You’re doing three big swooshes with the brush, that all connect and share a “stem.”

Step 2: Now that you have your framing, add your flower using four big triangular petals, in the middle of the pine sprigs.

You can always add more smaller versions of the flower, but I opt to add different types of flowers to get a mixture of colour.

Step 3: Add an extra flower or two. I added tulips in red and mauve.

Step 4: While the first coats dry, I added some little polka dots to fill-up any dead space, and then create more pine sprigs around the back of the ornament.

Step 5: Apply a second or third coat of everything! You don’t want to see streaks or plastic beneath.

Step 6: Time for details! This where we add a contrasting colour to add dimension and depth to our otherwise very boring ornament.

Using Sea Breeze, create a new focal point on all the pine sprigs by painting down the middle.

On the flowers, pick a lighter pink like Poodleskirt pink to do the same, adding creases and a centre.

On the purple tulips, use coral or melon to do the same.

Step 7: I then added black sprigs, more dots and berries, as well as some more flourishes.

Step 8: Add a contrasting yet complimentary coloured ribbon through the hoop for an extra touch. I think it amplifies the colours and really makes things pop. Don’t you agree?

    So pretty, and such a smart idea to use the painter’s tape to secure the ornament to your work surface.

      You can though! They’re very basic shapes that are then layered. It’s totally doable 🙂

I think we’ve all been feeling a little powerles I think we’ve all been feeling a little powerless these days, but @laybabylay made a great point in her stories the other day: you can always do something nice. You can buy the order of the person in line behind you at the drivethru. You can donate to charitable organizations doing things you believe in. You can make a meal for your neighbour who might be having a hard time with lockdown. It’s amazing how much better I feel when I do something nice, and I bet you will too ❤️

“Life is what happens when you’re busy making “Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans” - John Lennon. 😎 As a family who moves a lot, we’re ready for a new chapter/ new house, but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to leave all the memories! We brought June home here 😭 she learned to walk here, and said her first words here. I wonder what other “firsts” she’ll have before we move. [pictured, June in a messy kitchen last year]

*insert pun about light* AD: our Kai sconces from *insert pun about light* AD: our Kai sconces from @mymitzi make this wet bar. Sure, secret thing else contributes to the #retroaesthetic , but lighting sets the mood. These brass sconces blend right in when they need to, but gleefully take center stage after dark. What do ya think?
