I made this quite a while ago, but since I only do the crafts post once a month, it got pushed back.
I got the idea to make tree ornaments with nail polish and searched for the best way to accomplish it on YouTube. There are a lot of videos but I found that the best way is to take the clear balls, pour polish inside and roll/tilt the ornament, coating the whole inside, then let it sit to dry upside down in an egg carton or something.
I used Finger Paints flakies first and a plain black background.

Blurred (with flash) in attempt to show its sparkliness |
Michael's was sparse on their clear, empty ornaments and I haven't been able to find any others, so I'm hoping to eventually get to make more of these, they're super fun!!
Buenos días. =)
