I bought these ornaments years ago, thinking that they were silver mercury glass ornaments.
BUT, when I really looked at them, they were lavender.
I don’t decorate with lavender.
So, I tucked them away with the old Christmas ornaments that I don’t use.

How to Transform Old Christmas Ornaments Into Something Beautiful

The easiest way that I have found to paint ornaments is to add skewers to a cardboard box.
Then I hang the ornaments on the skewers.
But first, I add painters tape around the top of the ornaments. If the top of the ornaments came off easily, I would have taken them off the hang them on the skewers.
Next, I sprayed them with the spray paint and let them dry completely.
Then I used a crumpled paper towel to dapple on a coat of the taupe paint, then the bronze paint.
If you do the coats of dappled paint one right after the other without letting the one dry first, you will ge a more cohesive look. Then let it dry.

Once the ornaments are dry, remove the painters tape and sprinkle on some baking soda.
This gives a wonderful stone look to the ornaments.
Then add a beautiful velvet ribbon.
That’s it.
With the holiday season in full swing, there’s no better time to get creative with your tree decorations.
