Minion Christmas Ornaments & More


Supplies Needed:
  • Clear Glass Bulb Ornaments (you can buy a 12 pack or so at your craft store)
  • Americana Multi Surface Satin in desired colors
  • Vinyl (optional)
  • Ribbon to hang ornaments

Instructions:
Take the top part off of the ornament and pour a bunch of paint inside. Be generous-it will be easier:


Now place your thumb over the top hole and shake to spread the paint. Add more as needed.
When it is completely coated, turn it upside down and let it dry in a paper cup or in the box that it came in, making sure the excess paint can drip out as it dries. Let it dry for a long time-maybe even overnight.
Then add the face! You can do this buy cutting out adhesive vinyl or with paint. I did a combination of the two.

The minion is entirely from vinyl:


Elmo is vinyl eyes and mouth with a painted nose:


And Mike is mostly paint:


Really, just do whatever works best for you. The Americana Multi Surface Satin will stick well.
