DIY Retro Inspired Ornaments Tutorial

retro_isnpired_ornaments_main
Want retro ornaments without spending a fortune? Easily create vintage inspired ornaments with a few simple steps.

Difficulty level: Intermediate
Time required: 20+ minutes
Age range: 10+

Things you’ll need:
Colorful ornaments
Mod Podge
Glitter
Paint Brush/Skewer Stick/Toothpick
Optional: Fingernail Polish Remover, Cotton Pad, Tassels

Things to do:
1. Find glass ornaments that have a bit of wear. If you cannot find any, use fingernail polish remover and a cotton pad, and lightly wipe over the ornament. This will remove a bit of the color and give your ornament a bit of “age”.
2. Use mod podge to create retro inspired designs on your ornaments. Zig Zags, polka dots, etc. We used the tip of a skewer stick for a thick accurate design, but a paint brush or tooth pick would work as well.
