Equipment

  • Stir Sticks
  • Measuring Cups
  • Mixing Cups
  • Protective gloves
  • Paintbrush

What You Will Need

  • Wood ornaments
  • EnviroTex Lite Pour-On High Gloss Finish
  • Copper paint
  • Silver leaf flakes

Instructions

  • Start by painting all sides of your wood Christmas trees and allow the paint to dry completely. This may take 2 coats of paint.
  • Then measure and mix your EnviroTex Lite Pour-On High Gloss Finish according to the package directions. Be sure to wear protective gloves and follow all mixing procedures that are included in the package.
  • Pour the resin onto the ornament. Pour just enough resin so that it reaches the edges. You can clean up any spills over the side as it cures.
  • Immediately add in your silver flakes. You can add as much or as little as you want. Use a stir stick to embed into the resin coating. You can add more resin to the project if needed.
  • Then just allow the resin coating to cure. This will take overnight and you will need to make sure the ornaments are level during this time. You will also want to pop any bubbles that rise to the surface of the resin before setting them aside.
  • Once cured, you have a glittery look on any ornament with no actual glitter required. Now, it's time to hang on your tree!
