snowman christmas ornament

Use a thin paintbrush to draw and fill in the silhouette of a snowman onto the front of your ornament with white paint. Repeat for a second (and third) coat if needed until white becomes solid and paintbrush strokes are less noticeable. Let dry completely.
TIP: Use the scrap paper to practise drawing and painting a snowman silhouette to your liking before painting onto an ornament.
