Top 8 Creative Glass Ornament Decorating Ideas

Plain glass ornaments can serve as a starting point for creative holiday projects. Also, these decorations can be created in an infinite variety of color combinations. Craft on!

Solid Color Paint

Candy-colored glass ornaments are a great way to update the look of a classic Christmas tree. Spray paint ornaments made of circular glass with matte paint in primary colors. To create a very festive tree, intersperse the ornaments with colored lights along the tree’s branches.

Sprinkled with Confetti

Your tree will seem like it’s been thrown a party with these confetti decorations, and making them will be a blast for the youngsters. You may either buy confetti or have the kids use a hole punch to create their own colorful paper confetti. Carefully stuff the confetti pieces into the ornaments. Just throw in a few shiny stars and the whole thing will have a seasonal glow.

Embellished with gold leaf

Rather than hanging traditional ornaments on your tree, these hand-painted decorations will add a contemporary shine to your fiddle leaf fig plant. Gilding paint, gold color, medium-sized brush, light touch. Create delicate and lovely brush strokes by spreading the gold paint gently on the ornament.

Marbling using Magic

A little known fact: nail polish is used to create the marbled effect in these gorgeous glass ornaments. To make, pour boiling water into a plastic container until it is five to six inches deep, and then slowly drizzle in the nail polish. Quickly submerge the glass ornament as the flames expand. You may control the depth of the marbling by applying as many coats of nail paint as you like to each ornament.

For the Record

If you’re looking for a family tradition, this craft fits the bill perfectly. Collect snapshots, tickets, and other keepsakes of the year, then place them, one by one, in the ornament. Put the year on a tag and you’re done. Throughout the years, you will acquire ornaments filled with fond memories with which to decorate your tree.

Original Artwork Created Without a Template

Hand-painted acrylic ornaments in modern festive colors will liven up any tree. Play around with different variations of basic designs like polka dots and brushstroke stripes.

Decked up in Sugar Sprinkles

If you’ve got a ton of extra sprinkles after decorating holiday cookies, this DIY project is for you. Cover the area of the ornament with heavy sticky glue where the sprinkles will go. A bowl is where you should dump all of your sprinkles. Sprinkles are added by dipping the ornament into a bowl containing the sprinkles and gently pressing the sprinkles into the adhesive. A popcorn garland and candy canes would complete the look.
