Curbly Ornament Challenge: DIY Color Dipped Ornament Bulbs

What are the holidays without a little color and sparkle? Make a set of DIY confetti bulbs to deck your halls, or gift!

What you’ll need:

– Glass ornaments with removable caps
– Acrylic paint
– Brush
– Scissors/ or fringe scissors
– Foil tissue paper or other paper for confetti

Instead, I kept the brush still while rotating the ornament to achieve a smooth application. Paint all of your bulbs and set aside to dry.

DIY Color Dipped OrnamentsRachel Mae Smith While everything is drying, make your confetti! You could obviously skip this step and just buy it, but it’s really easy to make your own (especially with all that leftover paper I’m sure you gave around your house). All you need are scissors, or fringe scissors if you want to really speed things up.
