Equipment

  • Paper towels
  • Cups for draining excess paint

Ingredients

  • 20 Non-breakable fillable ornaments 8 large and 12 small
  • 10 bottles Multisurface craft paint in Titanium White and Pure Gold, about 4 – 5 bottles each
  • 4 Sharpie paint markers black, blue, red, silver
  • Rubbing alcohol

Instructions

  • Take the lid off each ornament. Swirl a bit of rubbing alcohol around inside and pour back into the bottle. Let dry.
  • Squeeze several drops of paint into the ornament. Roll around and shake (use paper towel to cover the top) until the inside is coated. Add more paint if necessary.

  • Stand up a small cup and place the ornament upside down to drain. When most of the paint is drained, you can pour it back into bottle. Replace the ornament upside down to dry. Drying can take from 1 day to several days depending on the climate. Replace the lids of your ornaments when dry.
  • Use fine tip oil based Sharpie paint paints to create the C-3PO and R2-D2 faces.
