To make the ornaments, you will need: DecoArt
transparent Glass Stain, clear glass ornaments, string, a small round bowl to
dip the ornament in, and a paper grocery bag to catch any drips.
Step 1: Clean/dust outside of ornament with a damp
cloth.
Step 2: Empty out entire bottle of glass stain into
your dish.
Step 3: Tie end of a ~12 inch long string to top of
the ornament. Knot a loop on the other end to hang the ornament while the paint
dries.
Step 4: Wrap string around your hand and fingers so
that it isn’t in the way, and submerge ornament about halfway. Pull out,
letting paint drip off, then submerge again about 1/3 of the way. Pull ornament
out, then submerge in smaller increments.
Step 5: Hang ornament over a paper grocery bag to
drip-dry. I hung my ornaments off my cabinet knobs in the kitchen. The stain
will pool to the bottom of the ornament, creating a little bubble. While the
paint is wet, gently wipe this off with your fingertip. I left the ornaments to
dry, but returned every 10 minutes to wipe off more paint. If the paint
hardens, this is a little trickier to do. Just smooth it against the ornament
gently.
Step 6: Cover any leftover paint with plastic wrap
(use this paint for step 7).
Step 7: When the first layer of stain is completely
dried. I dipped just the lower 1/4 my ornament back in to deepen the color. Let
dry.
