  3. Drizzle the paint mixtures onto the ornament with the other hand. Pour 3-4 colors on each ornament.
  4. Swirl the ornament around until the entire surface is covered and the desired design is achieved.
  5. Tape off areas and apply star stencils where desired (see project photo for placement reference). Paint these areas using a stencil brush or a flat brush and Silver Flash. Let Dry.
