Make your own ornaments

Something my mom and I used to do a lot when I was younger (and pre-kids) was paint Christmas ornaments. It’s really simple to do and MUCH cheaper than some of those fancy shmancy ones you can purchase.

Here is what you need:
GLASS ornaments (trust me the plastic ones don’t work)
Acrylic paint

Add a few drops of paint to the inside of each ornament

Roll the ornaments carefully around to get the paint to cover the entire inside

Allow each ornament to dry upside down and the excess paint to drip out

You can stop there and hang them or you can glue pretty ribbon to the tops of the ornaments…it’s really up to you!
