Step 1

First, remove the tops from your ornaments and set aside.

Step 2

Push two craft sticks into a foam brick. Arrange them so they are the same width apart as the opening of the ornament. Turn the ornament over and slide it over the craft stick so it is suspended above the foam brick. Place the foam brick on a foam plate.

Step 3

Layer paints into a disposable cup.
TIP: Alter the layers so they aren’t symmetrical or predictable.

Step 4

Slowly pour the layered paint over ornament. Start at the top of the over-turned ornament and move your hand in a circle around the curve of the ornament. If needed, pick up the foam brick and tilt the ornament in different directions to move and further marble the paints.

Step 5

Leave on the craft sticks for at least 24 hours to dry, then return the cap.

Step 6

Add a ribbon or ornament hanger.
