Remember when I shared my take on the Alice and Louis marbled easter eggs? Well I applied the same concept to these plain, white Christmas ornaments. So , unfortunately I cannot take full credit for this awesome tutorial. I am just an uninspired, copy cat on this one, folks.

Materials Needed for DIY Christmas ORNAMENTS:

First I placed the ornament hook on my ornament.

Then,  I filled my disposable baking pan with warm water. (1/3 of the way full.)

In my opinion warm water is a crucial component to the success of this marbling effect. It seems with cold water, the nail polish drops to the bottom of the pan too quickly.

Pour your nail polish into the water (there is no precise amount.). You want to see a filmy texture on the surface of the water. Now,  dip your ornament and swirl it through the nail polish film.  That is basically it, folks.

As I finished with each ornament, I hung them to dry on a hanger. This was just to make sure the nail polish did not smear off before it had time to dry.

And I am so happy with how these little guys turned out.

Just a little warning about the nail polish fumes. The smell wasn’t horrible, but definitely noticeable… just something to keep in mind before beginning your project.

Here are some ornaments I marbled with black nail polish for a more modern farmhouse vibe…

For this particular design, I used slightly bigger ornaments.
