Ornaments.

I got the idea for doing these marble-like ornaments from a bunch of different blogs, but I think I first saw them on A Yellow Bicycle. No matter what colors you use, you can never get a duplicate nor go wrong, I think that is what I love about these. The colors I decided to use were Cream, Navy Blue, Brown, Silver, and Metallic Aluminum.

All you have to do it start out with clear glass ornaments like these:

 

1. Remove the top. Take your first color and drip it down the side like this:

2. Continue dripping your colors around the top like this:

3. When all your colors have been added, start swirling and tapping. Eventually it will start looking something like this:

 

4. You will be able to see the paint starting to swirl together inside:

5. Keep swirling and tapping occasionally adding more paint, if you need to, so it starts to look like the finished product:

I love how they turned out, but after letting them sit and dry over night, they have changed, colors have merged more and more paint dripped out. I love both ways, but after they dried they look a little less vibrant.

But, still an awesome new craft. If anyone is interested in giving these as Christmas gifts, let me know. We can discuss the details!
