Create a One-of-a Kind Christmas Gift

Here’s a fun and easy, one-of-of-a-kind gift to make with your kids!

What you need:

  • Ornaments
  • Plastic container
  • Nail polish or paint of various colors

What to do:

  • Fill a container with water
  • Pour various colors of paint on top of water
  • Dip ornament completely in water or swirl around water
  • Hang to dry
  • Hang on tree or place in box to give away!

Start with a plain white ornament.

Fill a small plastic container with water and pour paint inside. I purchased nail polish from the Dollar Store.

Dip ornament into paint/water and swirl around.

Hang to dry:

Place on tree or wrap for a gift!


Here is a how-to video I created for you!

You can use this technique with other items too – including SHOES! We found an old pair of converse and turned them into a one-of-a-kind MASTERPIECE! (Put tape over the parts you don’t want painted.)
