You will need
Step 1
Make sure the surface of your bauble is clean and free from any dust or dirt that will interfere with the adhesion of the paint. Our Christmas Craft Paint can be applied to ceramic, glass or suitably primed metal or plastic. Stir the paint thoroughly before use.
Step 2
Next, choose a base colour for your bauble. We went for understated neutral Tanglewood for stylish simplicity.
Use an artist’s brush to carefully paint half of your bauble, ensuring a crisp, neat line around the middle. Paint brushstrokes in the same direction for a nice clean finish. Allow to dry—the Christmas Craft Paint is touch dry in 1 hour and recoatable in 4 hours.
Step 3
Once dry, use a pencil to sketch the lettering onto the middle of the bauble. Take time to evenly space each letter.
Step 4
Using a small, thin brush, paint over the pencil in a darker colour or a metallic—we went for shimmering Gold. Thread your baubles with rustic twine and hang your masterpiece from the tree with pride.
And that's it!
