Lay out some old newspaper across a
flat surface (this will be the work area).
Gently open the top of the ball orna­
ment by unscrewing the hook at the top.
Pour in a tablespoon of one paint color,
then a tablespoon of another color, and
so on until all the colors you would like
to appear are inside the ornament. With
caution, as not to break the ball orna­
ment, twist the top back on and shake
the ornament to blend the colors. Once
a satisfying design appears, set the
ornament on the newspaper to dry over
night. This craft idea can be done many
times, and each time a different design
will make the ornament unique.
