- slippery decoration ball
- Glazed plate (from dollar store)
- Acrylic paint (in some colors)
- Paintbrush
- Mod Podge sealer (regular or glitter)
Important Note: You need to use a slippery decoration ball because a matte ball has no cling. Your "palette" (the plate) needs to have a glazed end so your dried paint will have the permissible cling. Check out your local dollar store for a cheap glazed plate. Also wax paper or a plastic surface does not give the paint adequate cling.
Instructions:
1. Rule on the paint colors you want to use. Your closed decoration will be covered with personel circles of paint. So you should Rule on a color task for your decoration before you begin. We propose two colors in each circle and two or three separate sets of these colors. An example would be red swirled with gold for one circle of paint and then green swirled with gold for an additional one circle of paint.
2. On your plate, squirt out some paint (about the size of a large pea) for each color in your circle. Be sure to put the paint dabs for each circle very close to each other.
3. Swirl the dabs of paint together using the end (Not the bristles) of your paintbrush. It takes very miniature mixing to get a beautiful swirl design. Too much blending and you just get a new color! Make each circle of paint about the size of a quarter. To cover a standard size decoration ball, make about 30 to 35 circles.
4. Once you have completed all of your circles of paint, let them dry for at least 12 hours. They need to be fully dry before you take off them from the plate.
5. Now considered peel one dried paint circle off your plate. If you have any edges along your circles that you do not like, they can be cut off actually with scissors. Start by placing your circles around the neck of the decoration and work your way down from there. Press each one on so that it fully adheres to your ornament, and without any wrinkles. Continue to peel the circles off your plate one at a time. Be sure each circle is firmly pressed onto your decoration and that there are no cracks in the middle of circles. Just overlap each circle a miniature to avoid any cracks. Continue until your decoration is fully covered in circles.
6. Paint a coat of Mod Podge sealer over your whole ornament. Then hang it to dry for at least 24 hours.
You could be so creative with this technique. Maybe try stripes or a zig-zag pattern. Have some fun with this task and see what great looking designs you can come up with!
