Hand-Painted Plaid Ornaments For Christmas
Learn how to make plaid ornaments for your own Christmas tree or to give them as DIY gifts this year!
What You Will Need
- Ceramic ornament base
- Paint pens in a variety of colors and widths
- Ruler
- Vinyl for the monogram
- Craft Cutter or another way to cut the vinyl
Instructions
- Start with a wide red paint pen and made lines in both directions. Use the ruler to measure roughly and make sure the lines are approximately evenly spaced.
- Next, use a medium-point paint pen in green.
- Now take a metallic silver pen with a chisel tip. I did these lines right next to the green, but you can adjust the placement of your lines and the angle as you wish.
- Finish up the plaid portion with a fine-point tip red and paint a few skinny lines.
- Use the wide paint pen to paint the edges and make the ornament look complete. Allow everything to dry completely before moving forward. You can add a spray sealer to the surface to protect your paint job at this point. (optional)
- Take some vinyl and your craft cutter to cut a circle out of the vinyl. Attach the vinyl to the ornament.
- Add a monogram to the center of the circle and your plaid ornament is complete.
