{Five Minute Friday} DIY Paint Dipped Ornament

in Christmas, Dollar Store Crafts, Easy DIY, Holiday Crafts, holidays on 12/02/16

Happy happy Friday friends! And Happy December!

Today is a Five-Minute Friday post coming at you “Blue Christmas” style. If you are just catching up, we are having a “Blue Christmas” here at Southern State of Mind this year. Today I am sharing how I turned a container of plain Dollar Tree ornaments into something more custom for my Blue Christmas with some super simple paint dipped ornaments. Along with my DIY Paint Dipped Ornament tutorial, I am collaborating with other 14 other bloggers to bring 15 different ornament ideas- links below. I am so excited to check everyone’s projects out!

DIY PAINT DIPPED ORNAMENT TUTORIAL

TOOLS & MATERIALS NEEDED FOR THIS DIY PAINT DIPPED ORNAMENT PROJECT:

  • Ornament (I found this entire tube at the Dollar Tree)
  • Ornament Hooks
  • Paint for Dipping (I used navy but any color for your home will work)

STEPS TO FOLLOW FOR THIS DIY PAINT DIPPED ORNAMENT PROJECT:

STEP 1:

Collect your supplies. Here you can see this tube of ornaments I picked up at the Dollar Tree and some navy blue paint I had on hand. Any paint is fine as long as the width of the opening is large enough to dip the ornaments.

STEP 2:

Add ornament hooks to each ornament. This is necessary for the dipping and drying process.

STEP 3:

Dip the ornament into the paint.

STEP 4:

Set the dipped ornament to dry. Now, this is honestly the trickiest part. And kind of messy. Take my advice and do this over grass. (not that I would know because I have blue paint drips on my driveway) I used a tomato cage to hang them to dry. Be ready for a lot of paint to drip off.  Good thing my neighbors know I am a blogger because otherwise this tomato cage in my yard with random ornaments would just be suspicious.

STEP 5:

Let them dry overnight. There is lots of paint so they take awhile. When they are dry, you are ready to hang them on the tree!

Such a fun way to turn cheap Dollar Tree ornaments into something more custom and modern to coordinate with any look. Of course, they are perfect for my Blue Christmas!

    I love paint-dipped anything! The navy was a great choice with the gold – beautiful color combo!

    I love that you actually dipped them! I’ve “dipped” many items by just taping them off, but I love the drippy “dipped” look.
