Curbly Ornament Challenge: DIY Color Dipped Ornament Bulbs

Rachel Mae Smith

What are the holidays without a little color and sparkle? Make a set of DIY confetti bulbs to deck your halls, or gift!

What you’ll need:

– Glass ornaments with removable caps
– Acrylic paint
– Brush
– Scissors/ or fringe scissors
– Foil tissue paper or other paper for confetti

Rachel Mae Smith You could tape off the section you want to paint, but I found that to be a difficult process because of the round shape. Instead, I kept the brush still while rotating the ornament to achieve a smooth application. Paint all of your bulbs and set aside to dry.

Rachel Mae Smith While everything is drying, make your confetti! You could obviously skip this step and just buy it, but it’s really easy to make your own (especially with all that leftover paper I’m sure you gave around your house). All you need are scissors, or fringe scissors if you want to really speed things up. 

Rachel Mae Smith Place confetti inside and place the cap on. Shake a bit to mix up the colors if you’re using more than one.
