I did this with my kidlets more than 20 years ago! This brought back beautiful memories, ones I"m blessed to enjoy every year when we decorate our Christmas tree. I hope your bring you and others just as much joy!
i did 50 of these for friends and family last year for the holidays, and they loved it! plus it was my gateway into pour art. such a great project, good job!
Did you use glass or plastic bulbs? I wonder if the paint only sticks to plastic bulbs and doesn't stick to the ones of glass🤔 did you mix your paint with water and floetrol as well, or did you just use pure paint?
The dirty pour was awesome ! I have done beaded ornaments using the silk/satin ball ornaments for years now to give as gifts for my friends. Every year everyone got the same pattern but I assigned color combinations to individuals and so for 10years now they get a different ornament but always the same color scheme. Might have to do some of these this year as well
I remember now where I did this before.. It was at carnivals n fairs and we poured paint on a paper n they spun it around really fast.. I remember feeling so cool that I created something so artsy fartsy..
I did something like this but purposely didn’t cover the inside completely. Then after the paint was dry I added fake snow into the ornament. I love these!! Tfs!
Oh wow, brilliant! I like the blue-white one best, think I'm gonna make a few of these this year, even though none of my family members has a Christmas tree :D
bought my supplies to try this for christmas for 2018, wondering if you had any tips on making the color red, mine seems to come out pinkish ? love your videos they boost my day everytime i watch one, thank you
I did these just like you and I even made my paint a little thicker with very little floetrol and I laid them upside down in a cup just like you did and all the paint seem to have dripped out and the paint did not stick to the inside of the ball real good. It's actually see through. When I checked on them this morning they were actually still wet on the inside. So how do they dry if the bulb is inside the cup keeping air from getting in it? How do you keep the paint to stick to the inside of the bulb? They stick to the ball just fine if I pour on the top of them but not the inside.
@@MixedMediaGirl I used a mixture DecoArt artist Loft and folk art. I talked to some other person and she told me the same thing happen to her too. Like I said it just seemed like it was still wet on the inside because there was paint dripping on the bottom of the bulb once I lifted it out of the cup. So they're obviously not drying well being in the cup maybe if I lay it sideways but then it will look funny with the paint settling. I actually have a video coming out in about 1 hour doing bulbs LOL easy but lots of fun. I'll be looking forward to your video. Thanks for responding
I wonder about the silicone issue. If you watered down school glue or even modge podge, just enough so it would move around easily inside of ornament. Would that create a layer for the silicone to not cause areas with no paint? Something to investigate.
I buy it thru Amazon. And it is called FLOOD and I buy it in 2 packs. I do 40% flotrol 10% water 50% paint. And that works well for me. It is latex based. The bottle of Flood is white with a orange cap and the label is gray and orange with white lettering.
so are those huge bottles *always* filled and ready to go with the paint/floetrol/water mix? do you have to mix it up before use somehow? just wondering. TFS. so cool. If i were to mix just enough paint to fill these ornaments - how much paint to floetrol ratio would i need? :) Thanks again for sharing. TOO fun
+ibkristykat yes, I prepare them so they're always ready for painting :) to be honest though I did more after this video and it works great with just paint, floetrol isn't needed :) it works great with craft paint, or if you use a thicker acrylic paint then water it down a bit. If you add floetrol I would do 25% floetrol and 75% paint.
Cool. I wanna try this and all i have is craft paint. if i use floetrol, that will be 1 thing to help add cells though, right? much less soap or silicone or other odd stuff. right? i see some "will it cell" vids recommended now that i've seen this vid. So i take it some odd stuff added seems to make cells. i wonder if, for instance, Dr Bronner's castile soap would add cells. (cuz a lot of is OIL) but i'm wayyyy new to the idea of acrylic pours. Thanks!
My mixture must have been too thin....I had much frustration because the paint did not stick to the inside surface leaving many blank spots.....I had to wash them out and start over. I had cleaned them with 1% alcohol first too.
do you have to use the floritol (sp?) with these? and what do you have there that's collecting all the discarded paint? I'm new to this, so please forgive me. Thank you.
Trying to figure out what I did wrong....I used plastic ornaments and acrylic paint. The paint did not stick to the ornament. During the drying process, most of the paint drained out of the ornament and you could see through the ornament. Any suggestions? Thank you.
+Beth Vondran interesting, I've done a ton with those and it came out well...maybe try adding glue to the paint, that may help it stick better. I'm assuming you didn't use silicone?
I did not use silicone. We used a plastic ornament. I assumed it was because of the plastic, but your video says you used plastic as well. I have no idea....we can now see through the ornament with some colored streaks! I will try adding in the glue. Thanks!
Those are gorgeous, definitely love the dirty pour better lol. I’m curious to know if these last for years or just a year or two? Also if I don’t have Floetrol is there something else I can use, I don’t work with acrylics normally (just resin) so don’t want to go to the expense of buying it if I don’t have to, thank you :)
Hi! Love your work! I am not clear on the 3rd ingredient that goes with paint & water, I couldn’t get the item you said 🤷🏻♀️. Would you reply back, please. I’d very much appreciate it. I wanna be like you! 🤖
I did this with my kidlets more than 20 years ago! This brought back beautiful memories, ones I"m blessed to enjoy every year when we decorate our Christmas tree. I hope your bring you and others just as much joy!
Good job! Beautiful colors. I 💕 love it! You can probably even add some glitter into the last ones. That would be awesome!
i did 50 of these for friends and family last year for the holidays, and they loved it! plus it was my gateway into pour art. such a great project, good job!
+CasualSpoon nice! I love how easy and fun it is. My daughter has made a ton already as well :)

My husband was asking me just last night of I was going to try to make painted Christmas ornaments this year. Glad I saw this. Thank you!

These are absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for sharing.
Love this method! Especially having the paint on the inside! Thanks for sharing. Saw you on ADT live a while ago. Such fun. 👏👏💥🎨
I love the dirty pour also. Great job!
I cant wait were putting up our tree this weekend most definitely dirty pour on all mines already got my ornaments
I did something like this but purposely didn’t cover the inside completely. Then after the paint was dry I added fake snow into the ornament. I love these!! Tfs!
Been thinking about doing this, so I'm delighted to see how you did. :) Beautiful results!
+Lori Peace9 Art thanks! They're so fun and easy :)
That’s brilliant to pour on the inside!!
Oh wow, brilliant! I like the blue-white one best, think I'm gonna make a few of these this year, even though none of my family members has a Christmas tree :D
This was so easy and fun!!! I love it. Thanks for the video
Brilliant, as usual. You're the best. Fun. Fun. Fun.
+Condee Rogers thanks!
Awesome! These would make a great gift!
+David Fisher yep!
She goes "Pretty darn freaking cool." That was awesome and after she said it once I was hoping she would say it again!! #ROTF
Brilliant. Thank you so much for sharing this lovely idea. 🌺
I like the dirty pour the best! Beautiful!
I love this!! What a great idea!!
+Dynnel Watts thanks!
Well these are just awesome!
Beautiful decorations! Mary, my wife, and I are going to send some of these as gifts!♥ :-) #KnowledgeIsPower!#AwesomeTeam☮
+Carl Watts thanks!
💖~ OMG~ JUST 💖ed the dirty poor one 😱~ it’s just beautiful ~ and ~OMG~ SO EASY TO DO ~LOL EVEN FOR A CLUTS LIKE ME!
This is great! I'm gonna do this with my kids :)
Beautiful 😍 If used a funnel to make it easier for kids, will the paint peel off the funnel?
It should, but I would just wash it after :)
Great.idea. lots of fun!
Absolutely love this idea ❤
Also will you explain what exactly the Flotrol does and how to use it?
These are great!
bought my supplies to try this for christmas for 2018, wondering if you had any tips on making the color red, mine seems to come out pinkish ? love your videos they boost my day everytime i watch one, thank you
Is dirty pour just a mixer of colors? Love them
Yes, correct :)
Do you add the water and flotrol with the dirty pour
Seems easy enough, gotta try it
I am having trouble doing solid colors they drain out. Any hints???!!
I had that trouble with some too, so I made this video th-cam.com/video/nfIeA5mfv8M/w-d-xo.html

How do you keep the paint to stick to the inside of the bulb? They stick to the ball just fine if I pour on the top of them but not the inside.
I think it really depends on the kind of paint unfortunately. I have a new ornament video coming out tomorrow, which I think will be better

Awesome! So what way do you like best for the ornaments? Pouring on the outside, inside, or hydro dipping?
Great idea!
Hermosa técnica se la puede hacer en madera.felicitaciones.

+amiee lofruscio yeah definitely :)
Excellent. They would make good gifts♥ :-) #KnowledgeIsPower!#AwesomeTeam☮
+Carl Watts yes, some people will definitely be getting them as gifts this Christmas :)
Could I ask how much water should I add? By the way LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!!
Beautiful
Can you tell me where you got the Flotrol from and show to mix it. Thanks
I buy it thru Amazon. And it is called FLOOD and I buy it in 2 packs. I do 40% flotrol 10% water 50% paint. And that works well for me. It is latex based. The bottle of Flood is white with a orange cap and the label is gray and orange with white lettering.
How do you keep the paint from cracking and having streeks?
be nice with glitters too
Which do you prefer better? The pouring on the inside or outside?
Definitely outside. Check this video out :) th-cam.com/video/nfIeA5mfv8M/w-d-xo.html
Could you prime the inside then maybe the silicone might stick?
+kim mcdonald possibly, I guess a clear primer or you wouldn't be able to see the colors, lol. An experiment for next year :)
i tried this..when they dried it looked like a very thin coat and some spots not covered. was my paint to thin?
Would this work on glass ones or does it have to be plastic balls?
I noticed you had squeeze bottles, how long can you keep the mixed paint in those? Do they go bad?
What kind of paint and stuffs do you use to mix together before putting the paint in the ornaments
Freaking awesome!
so are those huge bottles *always* filled and ready to go with the paint/floetrol/water mix? do you have to mix it up before use somehow? just wondering. TFS. so cool.

Thanks!
+ibkristykat yeah floetrol will help it cell on a canvas but not in the ornaments. I haven't figured out how to get cells in an ornament :)
+ibkristykat floetrol does help you get cells :)I haven't tried castile soap but it might work, give it a try :)
@mixedmediagirl what do you use on your hands for all the paint you get on them?
+Krystle-Paints Hughes-Robbins just soap and water :)
How much Flotoral and water did you add to the paint? Thx
Are you using just acrylic paint or mixing with anything how long to dry for these as well thanks for the video good job!
it says it in the description and video
Hello. I'm not sure if I missed it in the video. Was that just plain paint in the containers?
My mixture must have been too thin....I had much frustration because the paint did not stick to the inside surface leaving many blank spots.....I had to wash them out and start over. I had cleaned them with 1% alcohol first too.
I'll do a new video on it soon!
do you have to use the floritol (sp?) with these? and what do you have there that's collecting all the discarded paint? I'm new to this, so please forgive me. Thank you.
+Ne Ne Zilla no you don't. Its actually better to just use craft acrylic paint :)
Mixed Media Girl ok thanks!
flotrol? what is that and where did you put it? Can I just use paints?
+Mom of Two yes, just use any acrylic paint :)
HOW MUCH WOULD YOU SELL THEM FOR AT A CRAFT SHOW? HAVE ONE COMING UP AND TRYING TO PRICE RIGHT. DO NOT WANT TO OVER CHARGE.
I'm like you, I like the dirty pour better !
Wow!
Would this work with acrylic paint and nothing else? 🤔
Anyone have trouble getting the paint to stick uniformly on the inside? Help 😢
How long does the inside take to dry?
Do you add water to your paint?
Trying to figure out what I did wrong....I used plastic ornaments and acrylic paint. The paint did not stick to the ornament. During the drying process, most of the paint drained out of the ornament and you could see through the ornament. Any suggestions? Thank you.
+Beth Vondran what kind of acrylic paint did you use?
I believe it was craft smart from Michael's
+Beth Vondran interesting, I've done a ton with those and it came out well...maybe try adding glue to the paint, that may help it stick better. I'm assuming you didn't use silicone?
I did not use silicone. We used a plastic ornament. I assumed it was because of the plastic, but your video says you used plastic as well. I have no idea....we can now see through the ornament with some colored streaks!
I will try adding in the glue. Thanks!
+Beth Vondran yeah, let me know how it goes. Also maybe drain them for only a couple hours then put the tops back on and hang them, that might help
Do you but some in with acrylic pain
What paint do you use
Those are gorgeous, definitely love the dirty pour better lol. I’m curious to know if these last for years or just a year or two? Also if I don’t have Floetrol is there something else I can use, I don’t work with acrylics normally (just resin) so don’t want to go to the expense of buying it if I don’t have to, thank you :)

Can u just use the acrylic pain to poor in with out any thing else
Hi! Love your work! I am not clear on the 3rd ingredient that goes with paint & water, I couldn’t get the item you said 🤷🏻♀️. Would you reply back, please. I’d very much appreciate it. I wanna be like you! 🤖
Hey Margaret! Its floetrol :) also please check out my updated ornament video here th-cam.com/video/nfIeA5mfv8M/w-d-xo.html
Subscribed too
Paint is sliding it won’t stick
What is Floetrol ? and where would I find it ?
sorry I did not understand why would you put varnish in?
+Kamil Dat I did not use varnish in these, I used acrylic paint mixed with floetrol and a little water :)
Mixed Media Girl thanks for the reply! :) I was referring to 6:25.
+Kamil Dat oh! I think I was saying that may help the paint stick to the plastic better :)
