dot art ornaments

{The Dot Art Ornament}


I found some glass ornaments at the dollar store, first of I have to tell you how much I love the dollar store, it's the perfect place for crafters to get their creativity on. Anyways I decided to pick up a few ornaments and see what I could come up with. A few days before I found them I had actually posted about my Australian Dot Art obsession and figured I should give it a try with these ornaments. 

When I got home and started looking on Pinterest guess what I found??? ----------------------->

The woman who makes these is amazing! I would totally recommend checking out her Etsy shop.

Pearle's creations helped me gain inspiration and I couldn't wait to get started. Ok, now nice thoughts only. Keep in mind these are my first attempts so no comparing mine to Pearle's beautiful artwork ok? ;)




I first started with a base coat of a solid color
Then proceeded with the dots
After I was finished I spray-painted the tops silver
and coated the ornament with a glaze finish

Ta da! Here are the finished products:
SWIRL design


WRAPPED PRESENT design


FLOWER POWER design

It was such a fun project, I encourage everyone to give it a shot. But, in the meantime, if you feel so inclined, these and a few other designs are now available on our Etsy shop. Just click on the "Etsy" tab at the top of the page. :)
