CHRISTMAS CRAFT IDEAS

Lauren Oakley Posted on 07 Dec 2021

Christmas season is upon us. Whether your days are full of sweat or snow Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year. The best part of the Christmas Season is being able to fill your home with Christmas themed trinkets and decorations. Now that the kids are on school holidays why not combine the two? Check out these craft ideas below and keep your kids busy these school holidays by making your home a Christmas Wonderland.

MARBLED BAUBLES

Supplies

  • Enamel Paint
  • Clear Baubles
  • Water

Method

  1. Swirl a little water in the ornaments (about a tablespoon and then dump it out completely.)
  2. Pour the enamel paint into the ornament. You can use wooden skewer sticks to help move it around to different areas on the glass before you start to marble.
  3. We found the best way to get the paint to marble and move together, is by tapping the ornament against your hand in a circular motion. Make sure you hold the opening closed with your finger and a paper towel.
  4. Once the entire inside of the ornament is coated, place it back in the plastic container it came in to dry for 24 hours, with the opening facing up.
  5. Within the 24 hours, turn the ornament to different sides a few times so the paint doesn’t settle in one area. Be creative and enjoy!
