- I had seen an artist named Brenda Pittman Leiner make beautiful Christmas ornaments on a Facebook group and had to try them myself. My method is slightly different, but I must give credit to her for the inspiration. Thank you, Brenda!

Wonderful! Thank you for watching, and happy painting! 😊
I like the 2nd one very much.
Thanks for watching!
Hi Chris! These are a perfect September craft project. I am going to do this!❤
Have fun with it! I appreciate your feedback!
You can also paint the inside silver gold or white then do your outside colors.....kinda gives it a 3D look😊
Good idea, Linda...thanks for the tip!
Beautiful And so easy!
It really is so easy! Thanks for watching! 😘
I love the shape of these too! Gravity sure does finish them nicely. Great idea to spoon over the varnish. As always, thanks for the inspiration!
Thank you Cindy! Cheers!
Perfect ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you Deborah! Merry Christmas to you and yours! 😘
@@ChrisJeszeck Merry Christmas and a God blessed New Year!
Just tried this - good results on first one using gold, red, metallic red and pearl; all mixed 1:1 with white glue. Thanks!
Wonderful! Did you use tube paints mixed with the white glue?
Very cool....I love that you blew out the Christmas ribbon pour it is gorgeous! Thank you for doing this video on the ornaments, I am preparing to do a group of them for an upcoming art show. ♥♥♥
Thanks so much for the terrific feedback! Have fun with the ornaments! 😘
@@ChrisJeszeck thank you, currently I am working with alcohol inks and they are turning out so pretty.
Oooo...AI's are on my to do list...I'm sure they are beautiful!!
@@ChrisJeszeck I'm having the time of my life....I can't wait to see what you come up with!
I searched for this video, 2nd time watching it, I'll be doing these soon, simply and classy!
Thanks! They are sweet, and quite simple! Have fun!
I love this technique. I’m going to try it. They look great.
Thanks so much, Reba! Have fun!
What a great idea! Thanks, Chris 😃
My pleasure!
Looks like another trip to Michael’s in the near future….loved the blow out, much improved!
Ah yes, thank you, Fran! 😘
I love the pink one you done
They're really fun to do!
The little drippings are beautiful!
Just found your channel. I'm going to press share. I'm getting the itch to make ornaments. Thank you!
Thanks so much, Sandra! Much appreciated and welcome to my channel! 😊
I really enjoyed this video .. I also liked how you dipped it in the base paint seems to save on paint. Thank you love these so pretty
Thanks for watching Annette! 😊
These are beautiful. I didnt know about the varnish.
Easy peasy with just one coat! Thanks for watching!
Thank you Chris...this is so doable with beautiful results 😍🥰 I'm for sure going to try this. I have Arteza ready mix and Artist Loft ready mix. Thanks for the heads up on mixing paints.
I was more happy with the results of my Gen Craft ready mixed than Artist's Loft (which I love for other techniques) so you might try the Arteza's first. Have fun!
Thank you so much for this video. I do the round ornaments, but wasn't sure how to do the flat ones. Thank you again.
My pleasure, Tina! Thank you for watching! 😘
This looks fun!
It is! I hope you'll give it a go!
WOW, thank you!
My pleasure...thanks for watching! 😘
Those are very pretty.
Thank you for watching, Cecila! 😘
These are very pretty. Thanks for sharing this.
My pleasure...thanks for watching! 😘
That is beautiful! The Christmas one!
I love your ornaments! Where I’m did you get them?
Thanks! I bought them at Michael's. 😘
Beautiful! Can you tell me again what the awe white coat is again? Thanks!
I would've loved to see how these looked on the christmas tree
Me too! Sadly, I haven't put up a tree in years!
Gorgeous! I especially love the 1st one you varnished for us. Very helpful video. Thank you!
My pleasure! I appreciate your kind feedback!
I love this
Thanks! They're quite fun to do. 😊
I love these ornaments, Chris. Great idea…. Hugs. 🎶💞🎶

Glad you enjoyed, Jenny! Thanks for watching! 😘

Thank you! I liked the red one best too. 😊
Oh these are so pretty I have some of these and I will be decorating soon! 💖💖💖👏👏👏🇦🇺
Happy to hear you enjoyed my video! Have fun!! 😘
Beautiful! I must try this. Do you have to dispose of the florist block after doing the 2 pours?
No, you can use it over and over. If you want to clean it up, just shave off the top! 😉
Very neat idea! Thank you, Chris! 🤗🧡
Thanks for watching, Joy! 😘
These are so beautiful! Thanks so much for the tutorial!
It's my pleasure! Thanks for watching!

Thank you, Christine! 😘
I hate Christmas colors, but that painting is gorgeous!

Thank you Erin! 😊
Hi Chris, catching up on videos. I love these and I am gong to try this. thank you for the tip on mixing. Wow those colors are scrumptious, amazing
So easy, Lori! Have fun with them!
Beautiful Chris. I feel a trip to Michael's coming on! These would be nice Christmas gifts for friends, in sets. As always, thanks for the insporation.x
You are most welcome...thanks for the feedback! 😘
very pretty...would be helpful if you showed each bottle so we can see the brand, type etc. thanks for this great video!
Thank you Stacey...you must have skipped the part when I described the paints. I used Gencrafts ready to pour paints for the green one and Artist's Loft Ready-Mixed for the red one. 😘
Very lovely!
Thanks, Judith! 😘
Beautiful
Thank you! So fun! 💕
Those are beautiful Chris!! I did those last year but only using my dried paint skins! This way looks so much easier!! I might have to try this!! 😍💕🥰
You should! So simple, and fun! 😘
P.S....Can't recall if you saw on FB, but the original Mr. Dapper was returned to me last week, after being lost 9 months!!
@@ChrisJeszeck no!!! Are you kidding?!? That’s crazy!
Thank you so much for doing this video Chris! I really enjoyed it! Hope you’re doing well 🥰
I'm pretty good, Becky, thank you!! 😘
If you cover the styro with plastic wrap, you can peel the dried skins off for other use
Thanks for the tip!
I love the canvas. It’s absolutely beautiful. Also thank you for the video on how to do these ornaments. I’m new at it and I love the colors of yours
Thanks so much Summer! Glad you found it helpful!
I love the picture
Thank you Gwen! 😊
They are so pretty Chris!!! I actually thought you were going to let the white base coat dry first, but looks like there's no need to. Thanks for sharing this easy idea with us🥰
My pleasure...thanks for watching! 😘
Love these projects! Thank you for your directions! What did you mix with the white that you put in the large cup to cover the ornaments at the beginning of the video? Thanks!
Thanks for watching! The white was 1 part Floetrol, 1 part white paint (don't recall which, probably Artist's Loft) and water to thin. 😊
Mixed media girl has been doing ornaments too. They are beautiful.
Lots of people are! So quick and easy!
@@ChrisJeszeck and fun, I saw the ornaments last year on Mixed Media girl. Now I see it everywhere.
So pretty 😍
Thanks, Bev! 😘
These are so elegant and shimmery! Thanks for sharing...it's so fun! Do you think polycrylic would work as a varnish? Or a spray varnish? 😊🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Thank you, Tera, and yes to both! 😘
Very pretty
Thank you Kim! 😊
I ended up trying this and loving it!
However, I chose a terrible place to dry! I hung them on a hanger- not thinking of the sun. It melted 80% of the back paint off the ones that I poured inside. Live and learn. I have a new drying area!
Yep, live and learn! We've all had experiences like that! LOL.
I already subscribe teammate. Welcome to ColourArte 💞💞💞
Thank you so much...and I am subscribed to you as well! 😘
Hi Chris, thank you for responding to my comments. I thought you said you used liquitex liquid glass after you did the pour? Maybe I misunderstood? If not liquid glass, what did you use? I also love the painting...what technique did you use for that?
I dipped the dried ornaments in Liquitex Gloss Varnish. The painting was a blown out ribbon pour...you can find it in my playlists under Ribbon Pour. I have several Christmas color ones that I think are even prettier. 😊
Thank you very much! I was hoping you’d do a tutorial on this.
You were hoping and I heard you! Enjoy!
These are really nice and a different method to what I do usually, Definitely going to try this method. Can I ask how much you would charge per ball? Thanks a lot.
I don't make them to sell, but I think $5 would be reasonable? I myself wouldn't pay more!
I watched one of your acrylic paint videos and in it, you showed us a white drizzling spoon that can be used instead of a regular spoon. Could you tell me which vide number that was. I have tried to find it with no such luck. I really enjoy your videos very, very much. Thank you, Sharon Otellio
Thanks Sharon...I think you may mean towards the end of this video (about 12 minutes in) when I'm varnishing...it's just a plastic soup type spoon I got with some to go food (salsa from a Mexican restaurant). Hope that helps, and thank you for your kind comment!
Also are you pouring the paints full strength or are you mixing them with something
The white base was Artist's Loft Soft Body mixed 50/50 with Floetrol but the colors were ready mixed, straight from the bottle.
Oh my gosh that canvas is Fantastic.
How do we find that video
Here's the link:

Another pretty Christmas one to watch is video #255. Thanks!
Thank you so much for sharing your process! They're beautiful! D you think you could use polycrylic as a varnish??? oops... I see that was already answered. Your Christmas ribbon pour turned out simply gorgeous after the few blowouts💗
Thanks so much for the kind feedback, Lori! 😘
These are just beautiful!! If you wouldn’t mind I’ve never used ready mixed paints, what would the consistency be for the paint if I was to mix my own? This looked pretty thick. Also how long will these need to dry before varnishing?
I would say fairly thin, almost a Dutch pour consistency. Most of mine dried so fast, I varnished the next day!
Beautiful! What kind of paint did you use for the base paint?
I made this video last year...not sure but probably Artist's Loft Soft Body? Half and half with Floetrol and water to thin. 😊
These are really nice! I’ll make some to hang on trees outside. And in case any of you haven’t looked -- the disc ornaments are on SALE!
Oh boy! They weren't even a bad price to begin with! That's a lovely idea, for outdoor trees...
I just love this Can you please share with us where you go to get the ornaments 🥰
Thanks Carolyn...I bought them at Michael's last year, and I saw them there again this year. 😉😘
I line them! Sucks I can’t get the blank ornaments in Germany like that
Maybe you can get cheap plastic ornaments? Even if they’re already colored, you’re going to put on a white base coat and then pour over them, so that might work for you.
Margaret has a good idea there, Dominik!
@@margaret7620 that’s a great idea!! Thank you!!
Is the base coat thick or thin and do you mix the craft paint with floetrol or some other form of medium
I would say it's medium! Half Floetrol, half paint and a little water. The colors were all ready mixed paints, straight from the bottle. Mixed paints would work too of course, as long as they're compatible with Floetrol.
Is there a way to fix the paint if you don’t put enough paint on to completely cover the bulb?
I imagine you could pour over the dried ornament, though I have not tried. They're so inexpensive, I tossed those I wasn't happy with! 😉
Does your base coat have an additive? Couldn’t u spray the basecoat?
I tried that and didn't care for the result. Much preferred the wet on wet application. Details in description box. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for doing this. Any reason why you couldn’t do the white base coat ahead of time & add the colors another day? Will it matter if the base coat is already dry when adding the color?
I think the colors probably flow better on a wet base? Not sure, though. If you try it, let me know! 😊
@@ChrisJeszeck Ok thanks. I’ve made some on round plastic ornaments but I didn’t use a base color.
Would you use pre mixed white for your base coat ?? I don't have flotrule
You certainly could, Patti. Should be no problem. 😊
@@ChrisJeszeck thank you 😊
What kind of base coat did you use an a medium too. Thanks Terri
All details are in the description box. 😊
What is the easiest way to remove acrylic paint off of a ornament if it doesn't look right or the paint gets funky
I don't know Gloria! I suppose if it's still wet you could simply hose it off, but those I didn't like that dried, I tossed. I figured they were inexpensive enough to dispose of. 😉
What consistency do you find better for doing these a thin or warm honey consistency
I used ready mixed paints so I didn't have to mess with consistency, but I would say thinner than warm honey. 😉
May I ask how much you charge for your ornaments. Having a craft fair soon and I have no idea what to charge.
Well, it depends on your area and type of event. I didn't make mine to sell but I don't think I could/would ask more than $5. Good luck with your craft fair Kim!
Haven’t looked for the flat ornaments yet. Did you get them at Michael’s?
Yes, Nancy, at Michael's. Last year, though I assume they have them again this year. 😉
Love I have such trouble with the round balls! Where do I get this disc shape? Thanks beautiful
I got them at Michael's last year, but they'll probably bring them back if they haven't already!
You commented that your ornaments are reasonably priced, may I ask how much you sell each one for
Hi Debby...I made this video last year. I don't do craft shows, but we had a tree at our gallery with hand crafted ornaments. I priced them at $5 each which was our minimum. Thanks for watching!
Thank you. So enjoyed watching your video.
Just a hint when videoing you craft...maybe have a mirror so you can see what we see. Love your work
Great idea!! Thank you for watching!
Do you ever add silicone?
Not on these, but I often add it when I want pretty cells. See my playlists if I interested. 😘
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you for watching! 😘
