Create festive DIY Christmas ornaments with Apple Barrel paints. Easy steps for vibrant red, green, and white designs on paper mache. Perfect holiday craft!
Instructions:
1. Start by painting the entire ornament with a base coat of white from your Apple Barrel set. This will help the colors pop. Let it dry completely.
2. Painting the Ornaments:
- Red Stripes or Sections: Use the red paint to fill in the areas you've marked for red. Apply a second coat if needed for a vibrant color.
- Green Accents: Once the red paint is dry, remove the tape and apply new tape if needed to create green sections or accents. Paint these areas green.
- White Details: Use the white paint to add details like dots or small stars. A small brush or even the end of a paintbrush can help with precision.
3. Once the main colors are dry, you can add more intricate details like smaller dots or lines using a fine brush.
4. Carefully remove any remaining painter's tape.
5. Touch up any areas where the paint may have bled under the tape.
6. Allow the ornaments to dry completely before handling or hanging them.
