Fancy Christmas Balls

  • Buy 1 glass Christmas ball per girl (grab a few extra's just incase, however I have never had a girl break one yet.)
  • Buy about 6 bottles of ceramic paints, the colours we have found that work best are red, green, white, yellow, blue and orange.
  • Take the top hanger things off the balls and have the girls pick 2 different colours of paints. (must use 1 lighter colour and 1 darker colour for it to work)
  • As a leader drop about 7 - 10 drops of each colour inside the balls
  • have the girls cover the holes with one of their fingers and "SWIRL" the paint around the ball. DO NOT SHAKE OR THE COLOURS WILL MIX & IT WONT WORK.
  • You may find that some girls will need a few extra drops of paint in their balls
  • When the balls are completely covered tip the balls upside down and let them rest over night in a plastic cup
  • In the morning place the hanger back on the ball and using either red or green yarn add a string loop, used to hang the ball on the tree.
  • These balls also make very nice Christmas gifts for family and friends.
