Crayola Marbleized Ornaments

 

Over the years we made homemade Christmas ornaments to give to friends and family as gifts.  We haven't made these yet, but it looks like a really creative project to do with my grandkids this year.  

Supplies:

Crayola Watercolors

Disposable cups

Craft sticks

Cookie cutters

Hole punch

Crayola no-run school glue

Measuring cups

Was paper

Straws

Ribbon

Cardboard

Step 1:  Dissolve watercolor tablets in disposable cups with a small amount of warm water.  1 tablet per cup.  Stir with craft stick.

Step 2:  Put a piece of cardboard down and top it with wax paper.

Step 3:  Place cookie cutter(s) on wax paper and pour glue into cookie cutter(s).

Step 4:  Spread glue with craft stick until glue is about 1/4" thick.

Step 5:  Use straw to pull up and drip a few drops of the dissolved watercolors into the glue.

Step 6:  Mix with craft stick for marbled effect.  Dry 1 - 2 days.  

Step 7:  Remove excess wax paper.  Carefully remove dried glue ornament(s) from cookie cutter.

Step 8:  Use a hole plunch to create a hole close to the top of the ornament.

Step 9:  Loop a ribbon through the hole and tie.

Step 10:  Hang ornament around the house or on your tree!

These won't be quick, but I'll bet they'' be pretty and really unique.
