Let's have a PARTY!

This time of year warents parties!  Cookie parties, gift wrapping parities, have all the girls over 'cause it's Christmas time parties, and ornament making parties.  I love ornament making parties.  A christmas ornament is a memeory for me.  I like the think back to where I bought or made it, who I was with, the fun time we all had.  So today I am going to share with you a great idea for making a Christmas Poka-Dot ball ornamet!  Here is how to do it!

What you'll need:

• Glass ball ornaments
• Red and green acrylic paint
• Paint brush
• ribbon
• empty egg carton

How to make it:

1. Turn the empty egg carton upside down. This will serve as your stand as you decorate.
2. Place ornament upside down on egg carton, resting it between egg cups.
3. Using the handle end of a paint brush, dip the end of the handle into paint then dot onto the ornament. You will need to re-dip after each dot.
4. Dot all around the ornament and let dry completely.
5. Once dry, tie a piece of ribbon through the hanger hook on the ornament.

Tips:

• You can use clear glass ornaments for this easy project, or if you prefer, use frosted or colored bulbs, adjusting the paint color accordingly.
• Glass ornaments are available in abundance at most stores that carry holiday decorations. You may even have some packed away in your Christmas boxes!
• Change the size of the polka dots by using different sized paint brushes.
