Red Rhinestone Christmas Ornament

Share this post

Christmas is coming!  For a crafty DIY-er {that’s me and probably you too} this is an open invitation to craft up a storm!

I have found myself creating ornaments this year, more so than usual.  It started with one for a friend, then some kids ornaments, and now I have moved onto my tree.  It was only natural to team up with some other crafty bloggers to bring you 30 beautiful handmade ornaments.

I decided to create a red glass ornament with a little sparkle.

This ornament is a ridiculously simple concept. It can be done in any color or design.  I opted for a simple sparkly design on a large bulb ornament.

I started with red acrylic paint, adhesive rhinestones, and a glass ornament.

I filled the ornament with red paint and swirled it around until it was covered.  Then I turned it upside down on a jar and let the excess paint drip out.  I let it dry overnight then added adhesive rhinestones.  That’s it!  I am looking forward to using this technique in a variety of colors and patterns on my tree this year.

Be sure to hop over and take a look at these beautiful handmade ornaments.

Thanks for visiting!
