I’m into the whole handmade Christmas thing this year. This week I made some super cool DIY Marbled Christmas ornaments for the tree.
These are a cinch to make. All you need is a plastic cup or tub, nail polish, some clear plastic ornaments and a wooden skewer or toothpick.
All you need to do is fill your cup or tub with water, drizzle in some nail polish, swirl the colors together with your skewer or toothpick and then dunk the ornaments!
It doesn't get a whole lot easier than that! These are totally customize-able to your favorite holiday color scheme. Click over to the blog post for specific details!
Suggested materials:
  • Plastic cup

    You can buy craft metallics.

    I tried this and they turned out super cool. Kind of look like blown glass. I used a large dollar store bowl so will try a smaller cup next time like a solo cup. Thanks for the great project idea!
