No mess, quick, easy… and last, but certainly not least, these ornaments are actually plastic (not glass!) so you don’t have to worry about your little ones or pets making them fall off the tree and break.

4 Ornaments in 5 Minutes:

Once you have all of your supplies, it will take almost no time to put them together!

Mixed Paint Ornament

  • Take the top off the ornament
  • Choose 3 colors of paint, carefully pour inside ornament
  • Put the top back on
  • Swirl paint around until inside of ornament is fully covered

Tip: Turn ornament occasionally until all the paint is dry inside to prevent paint from pooling in one area, but don’t shake… or else all the colors will mix too much and you will get a grayish-brown color.

Gift Wrap and Sparkle Ornament

  • Take the top off the ornament
  • Fill with gift basket filler, pieces of tinsel, pom-poms, sequins, etc… just make sure that you have some “fluffy” items in there so keep the contents looking full…. all sequins will just rest at the bottom.
  • Put the top back on

Tip: This is probably the easiest (and least messy!) one for small children to make, but they will look so pretty and festive!
